i know in Japan or whatever the G is considered the next Skyline. but i think the Skyline died with the R34....does anyone else agree? dont get me wrong, the G35 is a NICE ride...but it shares no major attributes with the previous generation skylines. whats everyone elses thought on this?

I'm Glad That The New Skyline Is Based Upon the G35 Coupe' Platform.

I wish it had nothing to do with the Skyline. The G35 stands on its own and should create its own legend, and not be tacked on to a ricer's fantasy.

(note: I'm not saying Skylines are ricey, just that every dope with a Playstation thinks you can jack that car up to 1000 hp with a coffee can exhaust and some carbon fibre)

what does that have to do w/ the G35 having something in common with a Skyline?

The skyline as YOU know it died with the R34 GTR. Believe it or not, there is a rather large range of skylines, including the gts-t, gts, gt, gtr, etc. The performance heritage of the skyline has died with the R34, but that was the intent of seperating the GTR name from the skyline name. The other versions of the skyline live on in japan (350GT, etc. etc.) while the performance aspect of the line is transferred the the new GTR name.

the great rb is gone.. even tho the vq isnt as good, it will do.. remember the g35 is proally equivalent to the gts and the new gtr coming out is gonna whoop ***.. u just wait.. plus if u think the skyline died every time it got a new body and engine then it died a long time ago.. the r32 isnt the earliest skyline you know

Why would the Skyline be dead? Just because it doesn't use a rb motor anymore? When the first skyline came out in 1955 it didn't have a rb motor. Most people think of the r34 gt-r when they think of skyline and don't realize that the name has lots of history behind it. The g35 is a skyline plain and simple, with or without rb motor. The next gen skyline might be electric hybrid, who knows but it'll still be a skyline.

At least it is not as bad as they did to the the Nova or the Le Mans here in America.

Exactly, the GTR Concept is the successor of the Skyline GTR. The G35 line, however, is the successor of all the non-gtr skylines.

conq

Read much? No one said the g35 was the successor to the skyline gt-r. We all know there will be a next gen skyline gt-r. Get your facts straight.

Yo conq, u moron see this?

"i know in Japan or whatever the G is considered the next Skyline. but i think the Skyline died with the R34....does anyone else agree?"

Dude chill out. You are the one that is "wrong" here. The G35 is the next Skyline in Japan. The "Skyline" only became popular here because of the R32-R34. However, before that, the skyline name was a traditional consumer performance car. The whole R-line was a tangent. They are now bringing it back to its roots with the G35. And the R-line is being branched off into its own GTR line. It was similar to BMW with the 3-series and the M3. The original poster mentioned the Skyline name thus linking it with its heritage. R34_racer filled him in regarding the name brand. So again... no one here is saying the G35 is the successor to the R34.

conq

Uhm ok, where did he say the G35 was the next GT-R? The Skyline has been around way before the GT-R. It's not it's successor, it is it's predecessor. Sorry, but I was not the moron who failed reading comprehension, kid...

Next time, how about holding a intelligent discussion before you go around calling people stupid?

iChiBahN

Wow cant' you use your little brain and try to interprete what he said? he said "G is considered the next Skyline. but i think the Skyline died with the R34...." when he says next Skyline and then talk about how Skyline "died" with R34" <~ IN THE VERY NEXT LINE

i am sure he's talkin about it.

please use your brain and yes you are a moron and no i am not a kid.

not trying to start anyhting, but conq needs to get his head straight

conq

Ok I don't usually participate in flame wars on internet message boards but I need to set you straight. You are a complete and total imbecile. How does any of your arguements contribute to the topic posted by the orginal poster?

The fact is that no one said that the G35 was the successor to the GTR. The orginal poster said ,"i know in Japan or whatever the G is considered the next Skyline". You are saying that he is refering to the GT-R. Ok if he is refering to the GT-R, SO WHAT? He's saying that is what he heard about the G35, not even his own opinion as he goes to say in his post.

And then you make this little gem of a post that made no sense since NO ONE was saying that the g35 is the next GT-R.
Get our facts straight? NO ONE SAID THE G35 WAS THE NEXT GT-R. The G35 IS a Skyline but it is not the next GT-R. The fact is the the G35 is the successor to the non turbo Skyline model(gts). In that little brain of yours you do realize that there are different models to a specific car model right? Ever hear of the corvette z06, mustang cobra, impreza Sti, the list goes on. The fact is that nissan announced the next GT-R to come out in 2007. We all know that, we are not under any illusion that we are driving a next gen GT-R.

You might not be a kid, but you sure act like one. That's all I have to say. I'm done posting in this thread and i'll go out and drive my next gen US version of the Skyline(non GT-R).
