Nissan's Twin Turbo for 3.5 Engine?
I just received this...
The good news is that if it is the same engine as the 350Z (why wouldn't) then simply get the manifolds and turbines from your local Nissan dealer!!
The bad news is, not until 2005!!!
It would be great to know the specs of the engine internally, to see what Nissan did to the engine internally (if anything) to handle 400hp.

I agree. The engine would require pistons with a lower compression ratio. say 8.5:1 or something like that.

But I didn't know that Nissan had significant differences between the N/A and the TT. Maybe the N/A was the old engine and the TT the new one
IMO, Nissan will try to work with the current engine without spending too much in R&D. Its cheaper and easier to work with what you already have than to design something new.

Nissan Skyline GTR 2005!!!
ok i found this picture and supposedly there is evidence that a 2004-5 skyline will be coming to the US but don't you think this picture is fake? I mean, it looks JUST like a Z w/ different scoops. IDK, I guess it looks better than the other Skyline concept. They have the chance to make a GREAT car if the Skyline comes to the US. Competition for the BMW M5, Mercedes E55, and all the other luxury touring sports cars with lots of HP. Hopefully they will make this Skyline a techno, performance wonder and keep the Z a cheap sports car instead of blurring the lines and making both heavy, sluggish, and overpriced as the last Z became...

I bought this magazine last week and it makes a good read, in fact I've read it a few times now and I want one even more than my Z... although the Z will come in at around £30K
For the UK, they estimate that the new GT-R (Skyline name being dropped, as I think this is going to the G35) will cost £60K, so probably something like $60K in the US. (Rip Off Britain in action again).

That is a photoshop, without question.
As for the TT not being available until 2005, I posted this awhile back. It's old news, the GT-R is shown this year in Tokyo (November), available in 2004. The TT Z won't be here though until mid to late 2005. I've heard they'll show it in Tokyo for the first time in Nov 2005, I had also heard Detroit (Jan) 2005 so if they stay on track.... 2005 is the year.
Here's the bad part though.... thus far, nothing that has been reported in UK magazines about future Z developments has been true. So whatever you read, don't take it to heart.
The UK press is the worst for making crap up to sell magzines.
Check the cover for example. I rest my case.
The GT-R was rumored to be a TT 3.5 V6 but I have heard from VERY reliable sources it WILL be a 4.5 liter V8. Major bang for the buck, est price starting around $60,000 area. In November though, we'll all know for sure.
With gas prices, I bet most are praying for the V6!

Actually, I don't think that is a photoshop. It looks like they took the GT-R concept and put a new front end on it. Either way, I doubt it's how the GT-R will wind up looking.
Here is another look at the original GT-R concept...

No they didn't, all Skylines have had those taillights since way back in the day. So, actually Chevy stole the Skyline's taillights.
