This isnt a real skyline, is it?

i got the link to the from that link of the skyline being destroyed, and it struck me as akward. it just doesn tlook like a skyline to me. something about it makes me think it isnt. the front end just looks weird. is it just me, or does anythign else think this isnt a real skyline?

I think that's just a crappy front bumper. Seems to be a real Skyline, but I didn't think that at first. I compared it to other R34 pictures though.

I thought that aswell. The thing is... all the lines match up as far as I can see. The strangest thing in my mind is that there are no engine bay pics. ****, if I had a Skyline, I'd post like 123,408,123,49,812,340,983,241 engine shots and then be like "oh yeah, I got rims, too."

It looks odd, but I can't find anything to really say it's not a Skyline.

It's an R34, but I see no badges. Those rims look like 350Z rims

The reason it looks odd is because it is the R34 GT-T model NOT the GT-R that is so coveted by nissan fans.

EDIT: ^^DAMN SOMEONE BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH!

I have to disagree about it being a 240 conversion. I am positive its a GT-T, which is basicly a lower trim level (like ex vs dx). Its also a few seconds slower than its GT-R counter part.

R34 GT-T (almost same exact car!)


R34 GT-R


Same basic lines to the car, just down graded a little.

if you people were true skyline fans, then you would also know r34 models had the gts gtt and gtr. that is a gtt, and cost only 50000 to import, while the gtr cost 120000 to get. gtt is a single turbo, rb25 app. making 276 crank, and RWD. a true skyline fan would notice the difference right away, but since this is a civic site, its really just a shame.

who drives a rwd skyline, drifters!!! who do we know that owns a skyline rwd, Ken Nomura. and his gtt four door skyline...


just remember this, skyline is orginally a family grocery getter. the gtr is like the civic type r fast, powerful , and very expensive. compared to the other models.

Its real, and it is indeed an R34 through and through. Its just not the GTR we're all used to seeing. Its exactly what he says it is.... a Skyline GTT.
RB25 powered, 280HP
17"wheels, 225/45/17 tires
4 pot brakes front/ 2 pot rear
RWD

Seems to be the R34 Equivelant of an R33 Skyline GTS. All the info I can find on this car is from england.

I find it funny when people think the R-34 skyline is really the only one that exists. Thats an R-32
