Q35, V35? Never heard of those models..
The VQ35DE is an award winning motor for every year its been out. It comes in both FWD and RWD configurations. It is not a slouch by any means even in NA form.

The new model everyone is waiting for is the "GTR", I only saw one other person mention it. The platform is still built on the G35/350Z platforms last I heard.

Edit- the Skyline name will not be associated with the GTR either.

 

my bad your right its is the G35 not the Q35 but the V35 is the new skyline in japan right now. and in now way was i cuttin on the VQ35DE it is a kickass motor, i was just pointing out that the skyline is no longer an inline six like the previous models with the RB series motors

 

nissan has been developing the new gtr motor with cosworth for sometime now. whatever those two come up with is sure to be bad ass.

 

V35 is the JDM tight version of the G35. Its the Skyline Coupe that I had pictured before.

 

yea im resurrecting this thread...just wanted to put my .02 in brian u said the v35 has been out since 99 or so...just wanted to let yall know it came out in the 01 model year...that is all

 

Thats a 350Z.

Real Skylines....

We got more. we had the R32, 2.0t, 2.5t, or 2.6 twin turbo.
Sam for the R33,
R34 only came with twin turbo option.

 

in Japan, it's a Skyline GT350... May not be up to the same performance specs of the previous Skyline generations, but it is a Skyline none-the-less...

www.nissan.co.jp if you don't believe me...

 

All over Europe its the Nissan 350Z. Nissan have named it that in Japan to try to attract the previous Skyline owners looking for the newest model. But in comparison, they are totally different cars.

Skyline - 4wd
350Z - 2wd
Skyline - 2.6 twin turbo
350Z - 3.5 V6
Skyline - 4 decent seats
350Z - 2 seater

I've got Jap videos of them testing cars in standard format. Included a Honda S2000, BMW M3, Porkie Boxster, R33 Skyline, 350Z.

Now by the end of the race, the skyline was long gone, and i do mean, it just left everything. The 350Z came 2nd, but was being caught up by the M3 and S2000 at quite a pace! Boxster was no-where.

The engines different, shell is different, floorplan is different, different engin, different suspension, different wheels driving and interior is much smaller.

It is a completly different car. Its been designed to carry on the traditional "Z" cars, such as Nissan 300 etc. Its nothing to do with the skyline brand. Nissan are already testing the latest "Skyline".

 

Bottom line: If you have to ask, you can't afford.

 

So let me get this straight. It's sold as a "Nissan Skyline", but it's not a Skyline? Ok, cool.

Shut up. That's what the Skyline has been since '01. No matter what your 'opinion' may be, it says fucking Skyline on the fucking badges.
