So i was talking to this car freak that i know and he was telling me that nissan will be making a 350z in all wheel drive in possible 05. this system would be based on the skyline all wheel drive. has any one else heard of this.

 

nope only the g35 sadan will come with an all wheel drive but it won't be a performance version. It's already out for 2004.

 

My next Nissan will be the Skyline when they bring it over here! Although nobody seems to know what it's going to look like.

 

the skyline is here, its the G35.

 

Same thing I heard....they're not offereing it on the G35 coupe because it's designed more for safety than added performance.

 

I herd talk of the Skyline coupe getting AWD when they come out with a GTR version in 05/06.It might also get some type of FI or a VH45DE? All talk though no telling how much is true.

 

I think FR cars are more fun.......

 

*flame comment coming*

AWD is good for snow and mag tests. for all those times that your not doing 5000RPM clutches(and the associated clutch changes) or rally racing; rwd will be the more efficient and lighter setup.

AWD would be good for quarter mile racing, hence why the Z can keep up with the STI and Evo on a track pretty well yet gets killed on the quarter mile. oddly IMO tho, a 4cyl car boosted or not has no place on a quarter mile strip. if you do insist on 4cyl of performance fury, it had better be light as hell and rev to the sky(ex. S2000 pre-2.2L with the old 9k redline)

none the less awd provides great traction on straight aways, and will of course be available on the GTR which from what Ive heard will be a seperate entity from the skyline(G35 in USA) that it was always tied to. but that is a different beast altogether, a different class in racing; and of course a different performance and price bracket.

 

I agree, I would rather have rwd then awd. I am not taking my car off road or through the snow.
