But I was just saying, the people who want more extreme performance might swap for the 3.5 because there will probably be more parts readily available for that engine.

Carlos Ghosn, the man responsible for the delay, has stated that there are only four guarantees which remain for the skyline.
1. It will absolutely, categorically have round tail lights, as skylines have now for decades.
2. It will definitely have four wheel drive capability.
3. In japan it will run a twin turbo V6 engine.
I actually forgot the fourth one, it was nothing interesting. So there it is, tail lights will stay. One designer joked that they start with the lights and build the car around them!
R34, just so you know (I know it was on a different page) distinguished means to be set apart. What this means for you is that nobody follows your path, you are unique to this page.

i think it just means him and everyone else with a green dot is set apart from everyone elseOriginally Posted by Nildo
thats a good one though, start with the tailights, but a GTR without the 4 round tail lights, would almost be like a Falcon without a straight six

will it be a good idea if i get a gts or gts-t and stick in a gt-r engine?
Super Moderator
from what i know theres not that much difference between the 2.5 and 2.6L units so it would be alot cheaper just to install 2.6 internals into the GTS

i guess i agree what theres an 80% chance there gonna screw up and everyones gonna hate it, u no that right? becides i love that R-34, i think changing it at all would be a risk to some of the diehard fans

at first people will hate it but then slowly they'll get used to it, you do know that?

Yeah and ford hoped people would get used to the AU but guess what? didnt happen its too much of a gamble to hope a car will grow onpeople.

There will always be purists, but in the end the R-35 is coming and will be accepted by motoring enthusiasts. Maybe some of the R-34 fanatical die-hards wont take to it, but on a world stage so what? Also don't forget that tha Japanese have a penchant for grabbing the latest gizmos for the sake of having the latest gizmos! I think the '35 will be as popular as any previous model.

thats a good possibelity, but if they secrew up then... no
if they make a couple unwanted changes, maybe

well the AU took 4 years for some people to get used to, mainly because they had seen what was to replace it in a matter of months and got their cheque book ready. i dont think the R35 will have the same problems, the styling will be coming from i'd say the skyline sedan, the 350z etc so although it will be a completely new skyline, the ideas behind it wont neccessarily be completely
