If they do, what is the best website to list the current spec prices etc...

Did quite a google last night but all sites seem to talk about motors from about 5 years ago.

They do for the japanese market, but it looks totally different (like a bigger 350Z). There are pictures of it with a 350Z on the Evo website (choose following menus to get to article: Driven - Archive - Nismo 350Z and Skyline)

Not what you are after probably, but it is all I can tell you!

Let me just clear something up..

The 'Skyline' is just like any other model with a large range of different derivatives, just like a Focus, Escort or Golf.

The specific derivative which the Skyline range is famous for is the GT-R, with AWD, Hicas rear wheel steering and 280 (310) bhp as standard. Mention the word 'Skyline' in Japan, and is has no more merit than a Focus or Golf in the UK. It's only when you add the famous 'GT-R' to the end of the name, just like RS or Cosworth in the UK, that the name has any real significance. The basic Skyline in Japan, is just a run of the mill saloon/coupe, that's all.

Now to the original question - do they still make the Skyline? The Skyline is still produced in Japan, and has a similar appearance, as stated above, to the 350Z. But, the GT-R R34, stopped production in 2002, and despite several GT-R concepts being banded about in the press, a replacement does not look likely to surface until 2007. The new car is expected to ditch the 'Skyline' name and instead be known solely as the 'GT-R'.

Anyway, we'll have to wait and see what happens..

Mart.

what about the GT-s? is that a turbo model too??

ScoobyJawa

GTS-T and GTT's are 2.5l single turbo's (against the GT-R with 2.6l and twin turbo's)with 250-280 bhp depending on year. RWD only and not widebodied like the GT-R

Scuba

Aren't the GTST's a few of seconds slower 0-60....


Quite a lot of people still think a skylines a skyline and don't know the difference between GT-R and GTST which kinda p*sses me off as people say they own a "Skyline" then you find out its only a GTST!

sti-04!!

wait for this one ..........................
I know a guy thats just purchase a "skyline", told me when he got it hes going to woop me ***

Well hes got it & i havent seen him apart from the odd going the other way lal la la

Turns out this skyline he bought & didnt even ask spec or take test drive (****), is a NA ie NO FOOKIN TURBO's, dont know what the displacement of this thing is either, its got shabby i mean real shabby cloth interior, sits higher than a boeing 747 & just doesnt look the part, 15k doooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn the drain, needless to say, hes been back to the garage he bought it from & what have they told him ....................................... **** off

Bit harsh on the GTS-T there mate.

HAve a look here Skylineowners.
There are a lot of GTS-T owners on there.
Remember, the GTS-T can be modded for big power and is rear wheel drive only.
There are some very nice ones out there too.

what would scooby do

what would scooby do

just some of the proposed concepts

ScoobyJawa

The NA is a 2.0l I believe (R32), and 2.5l (R33).

Quoted 0-60's for the none GTR turbo's are in the 6 sec range....

Emms

This is very nice. car. A lot of cash but UK and low mileage, about as new as you are gonna get.

If the link does not take you to the page directly just go to the used cars section and search Skyline red.

That looks quite tastey, no offense to GT-R owners, but I never really thought they were much to look at, inside or out! onder2:

Are they planning a GT-R ranger topper for the 350z model, does anyone know?

Keigo

mynickers - 350Z derived from 300ZX series. To make it clearer, the Japanese version of 300ZX was called Fairlady Z, and that is where the Z on 350 has come from. So to answer your question, No, there won't be GT-R for 350Z. There is a talk about making turbo version of it, though.

ScoobyJawa

The 350Z is still called the Fairlady Z in Japan.

Can't see them turbo-ing for it TBH, maybe a factory S/C - reason is the new GT-R will have the turbocharged version of the engine, albeit in 3.2l guise rather than 3.5. They have to be careful what they do, as they don't want their products overlapping, especially if they overlap with their "supercar".

clarence

NISMO has recently built a one-off Fairlady Z with a turbo V6 & 4wd. That car is for promotion purpose, but it looks well engineered & some journalists in Japan track tested it.

ScoobyJawa

Sure, there are turbo kits for it etc (greddy make one), but what I meant was I can't see them doing that for a production line car, they would be treading on their own toes for the future.....

Time will tell I suppose!
