You mean this one?



Nissan should be able to service it as it has the same engine as the 350z but whether they will is another question. Give them a call and find out.

Run it on Shell Optimax and consider having the ECU remapped to UK Fuel, Its worth it. Where do you come from and i might be able to sugguest some where.

It's a nice looking car in it's own right, but not a patch on what it replaces.

No offense to 'farmerwrx'. But what did nissan do with the skyline!, they turned a monster into a mouse. How can you go from something as beautiful as the R32,33,34 GTR's, to that...Its not a bad looking car,and im sure its nice to drive etc.. but put it against its predecessor and it doesnt quite fit the 'skyline' name-tag.

It would have been better if they had named it under a different name to the skyline imo.

The only really good looking skyline was the R34 IMO, they should have built on this.

They are great fun to drive, When you tickle the throttle at the traffic lights, the car rocks slighty from left to right, and it sounds great, You've got Speed, sound and comfort all in one, and when people see it coming there like "WHATS THAT". HID Headlamps, L.E.D Side lights and indicators on the mirrors, L.E.D Rerar lights in the shape of "0" Like the old sjyline, Sat Nav/TV Screen, 2 Way AC in the front.

this is different from the old skylines (if you know what I mean?)

they're going to make a different car to replace the fast skylines. it's just called a GTR.


hope that made sense?

Yep, the new Skyline will basically be a 4-seat version of the 350Z. The more hardcore version will be a completely new car known as the GTR. So Skyline and GTR are now seperate entities. Don't panic !

Thumbs up

Quite a wait for the new one though - looking like 2008 according to someone who should know but would get in trouble if I were to identify him, but it "will be worth waiting for" apparently.

I'm pretty sure that isn't the new skyline, isn't it called the nissan infiniti g35 or something? and the actual real new skyline is due out next year sometime? looks like a mix between the lexus sc and nissan 350z, or you could buy a new skyline known as the z-tune
