well technically the g35 -is- a skyline ...

but to put a 2.6L when it already has a 3.5 is stupid ... T_T;;

The g35 that we have over here is currently the skyline over in japan. but obviously the one that they have is alot better than ours and they are bringing that one over here and giving it a different name. that is what I heard.

From what I read somewhere, they will release a Skyline based on the G35C in a couple of years in N. America (either as a G35 model or a Nissan). Its likely to either use the same V6 in the G35/350Z with boost of some sort, or a V8.

Do we really need to talk about the g35 being a skyline AGAIN?

Why would Nissan put an old motor in a new car when they better technology on the new engine?

From what I remember the "GTR" or the top model of the Skyline has not been released yet...so the Skyline and the G35 are the same in terms of power for now.
Don't know anything about the top model being released in the US.

Here is what I found out.........

Preview

What Edmunds.com Says: It may end up wearing an Infiniti badge, but this next generation Skyline should have all the attitude of its Nissan cousins.

What We Know: After years of rumors and intense lobbying by Nissan enthusiasts in the U.S., Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn announced that his company plans to release a fully redesigned version of the legendary Skyline GT-R by 2007. The new version will take its cues from the GT-R concept car that has made the rounds at various auto shows over the past several years, and unlike its predecessor the GT-R will make its way to the U.S. With the 350Z already occupying a steady spot in Nissan's lineup, look for the GT-R to come Stateside wearing an Infiniti badge. A prototype caught testing on Germany's grueling Nurburgring test track made the rounds wearing the shell of a current G35, but obvious signs of serious modifications indicate it was no ordinary Infiniti. The car is expected to debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in the fall of 2007 and go on sale later that year.

I also found carspyshots.tk and they have pictures of alot of cars that are coming out and they are showing the G35 on a test track as the GT-R. I guess it is being tuned by lotus but will probably look identical to the G35. Probably wont really know until 2006

Its coming in the winter of 2006 as a 2007 model. It will have a destroked version of the vq35de.....close to the one used in the JGTC 350Z(fairlady z....u jdm fans know what i mean) most likely to be called a vq30dett. It will of course have the all-wheel drive that we've all come to love. A 7 speed sequential gearbox. Rumored to have about 400 horsepower.
