if you want a skyline buy a G35

Now if you want a GTR on the other hand that would be a whole different story. search there are several threads about who is buying one.

I posted in the 'Regional : East Canada' forum for a reason....please preach about your search function elsewhere.

And yes, I'm referring to the GT-R.

I think the R33 and R34 are upgrades. I would get one of those in a heartbeat. The R33 Skyline was first to break 8 mins at the nuremberg ring.

G35 should never have been associated with the "Skyline" name because it doesn't even come close.

Whocares, you obviously knew what he was talking about since you corrected him.

Why venture out into a regional forum not even close to you just to play "internet police"? Obviously, you're not here to contribute anything useful, nor do anyone of us care about someone's opinion in Jacksonville that was meant to be a regional question.

Hey why the insults all of a sudden....you havin a bad day or something? I could insult you but that is where we differ.

Tell me why the G35 deserves the skyline title then? I was pointing out it had a lot to live up to when you consider what the R33 and R34 achieved. Turbos, awd and amazing handling not to mention the nuremberg times.

I am intitled to my opinion and there is no need for insults. You are correct all the time? I think not.....

That is your opinion....does that make you a moron....er no. Most people would choose an R34 over a Z given half a chance if they were imported to this country. I lived in a country that had them and they are amazing. I would give up my Z tomorrow for one.

go ahead and take a non GTR skyline as an 'upgrade' while I laugh at you. where did I say a Skyline GTR would not be an upgrade ?? (looks around). again, you fail to properly understand the differences.

there is this persistent idiocy in trying to compare a skyline GTR to a skyline of any generation.


now, everyone is entitled to opinions, even if they are based on a fallacy and ignorance but it doesn't mean it is a VALID opinion.

so please, don't bother trying to discuss this as you obviously have no idea what you are trying to debate with me.

(I apologize for the attitude in hindsight... it just really annoys me how a car enthusiast forum can spread this misinformation constantly... you would think members would know better.)

model: 2.5 GT
engine: 2.5 L RB25DE NEO I6,
power: 193 hp (142 kW)

Well since you are so knowledgeable and, I know nothing, then you should know I was talking about the Skyline GTR since that was the only version officially imported to the UK. (The car in your photo is a grey import).

Therefore everyone called it the Nissan Skyline.

The models imported to the UK were the R33 GT-R and its replacement, the R34 GTR. The enthusiasts favourite, the earlier R32 GT-R, was never officially imported to these shores, although a fair number turn up as grey import models only. Whichever model you choose, a good used Skyline is one of the few cars that will embarrass pricier and more established supercars such as Porsche's 911 Carrera. With Japanese imports arriving in ever increasing numbers to feed the demand for anything with a Skyline badge, there's a great choice available.

Nismo....really there is no need for the attitude. It gives off an impression that you think you are superior and I am sure that is not your mentality mate.

: ) I know everyone 'calls' it a Skyline, as too many people do in the US, but it is a Skyline GTR. the GTR variant is simply a model.

and I know, you are a smart dude, I am sorry but this is one of those things that freaks me out

Yes he did, not sure where he is purchasing from...
and I would think most dealerships are taking pre-orders, just call around and ask.

Good Luck! I hope you get one
