Nissan Skyline GT-R

[zaxford]

Hey everyone,
I just recently found about this car. Some friends of mine from Japan told me a bit about it then I saw it on TV on some tuner show...the one with the twins. Anyone know a good web page where I can read more about it and see pictures. It looks like a car I'd like to know more about. Also, if anyone has comments about it, I'd love to hear them.

Regards

There's one R-33 Skyline (GT-R) in Cincinnati here. It's white; if I ever get a chance to see it again, I'll snap a pic.

japan has a 277 stock bhp limit, but it is widely believed that many of the cars, though rated at 277 run around 300. the skyline gt-r is an AMAZING car. AWD is sweet, and they can be tuned to be incredibly powerful cars. In a very old R&T they had one tuned to 630bhp, it was insane. ahhhh, what a bland post, sorry guys.

Skyline GT-R: 280hp twin-turbo engine, AWD, great handling, great brakes.

Zaxford,
That's the best site to go to....they import them and make the right-hand drive street legal....plus they have some cool replicas and other skyline stuff on there

I could not imagine driving a right-hand-drive car.

It's gonna be released in the US at $50K...or in that area. It's one heck of a car!!

Here's one I scanned in a few years ago from a Road & Track magazine.

it is a heck of a car

I'm not big on the R-35 Skyline that is to be released in America soon. It looks like a mix between a 350z and a G35 coupe (nothing wrong with that, just doesnt seem too original), except for the interior:

I heard that the Skyline GT-R will be available in the US starting 2005-6 labeled under the Infiniti name.

 

[Bear6360]

Why would Nissan release their car under Infiniti?

 

[Bear6360]

That car looks a lot different from the one I posted! The one I posted was a 98 or a 99....I think.

 

[bearswife]

if it were possibly to make love to a car... yeah that would be it!

They don't think Nissan has the cachet or brand identity to sell cars in the US for as much as they want to charge for the R35 Skyline. That is the reason they created Infiniti in the first place.

i like the r34 better....last year i went to a nissan dealer and was looking around, asked one of the salesman if he heard anything about a u.s. release for the skyline and he asked me what a skyline was

That doesn't make much sense considering how much they charge for the crap they sell now.

Infiniti is part of Nissan, then?
