They plan to bring the Skyline nameplate over for the next generation however. --- End quote --- In that case the Nissan 350Z is also a skyline. --- End quote --- Not really. The Z is on the same platform and powertrain, but the Japanese Skyline literally IS the G35 with a "SKYLINE" where "G35" is on the G. Same exact car, save for safety feature differences for JP/US. The G35 and Z are sister cars, but they aren't identical. |

I figured you were talking about the burned out junker he brought in on a flatbed to take the place of the green car he lost and then the Chinese guys destroyed before the bald guy "took possession of it". --- End quote --- The burned out junker was a supra turbo with a 2JZ-GTE engine IIRC...the skyline was owned by a different member of the club...or whatever. that movie sucked --- End quote --- No, I am talking about the second movie. There is an intro montage to the movie that shows the lead guy racing his way across the country. At one point, he see's a Nissan Skyline half covered by a tarp, with about 50 years of rust covering the whole car. He hands the junker guy a wad of cash, then he fixes the car up. Finally, you see him drive up to the opening race in his 200,000+ Grey Skyline. --- End quote --- ah my bad...I don't think I actually watched the second one...just started it and turned it off. Oddly, I actually kinda enjoyed the one in tokyo......(lots of eyecandy >:D ) The junker in the first movie was def a supra though...I think the stole the engine and stuck it in a diff car or something..... Oh, and :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: at being able to find a "junker" import skyline to resto like that..... and PDB is correct to a point re: G35 / Skyline...the JP Skyline has the "same" engine however, but it is tuned very differently....and IIRC the JP version is available as a 4door only, whereas the US G35 Coupe is only 2 door.... go figure |

It's not a massive differenece in hp though if I remember. There's a coupe and a sedan version in JP, just like the G35 here in the states. |

Too bad the skyline has gone "soft" -> no GT-R version.... :lame: |
