Question...

[Maklov]

I was wondering... is the R-34 skyline out of production now? Cuz I heard and I was not sure about it..

 

[Ethix101]

Yes, it's out of production.

New GTR scheduled for 2007...?

[Maklov]

Is it the R-35 or something, cuz i heard a rumour from a recent car mag that r-34 is out of production so they might make a r-35 with a V-8 or smth...

 

[240Z]

Logically, It would be the R-35. Don't know anout the V8.

 

[skylineGTR_guy]

Nah, Nissan will probably use a V6 setup.

 

[Jay]

The V8 was rumored, but it will most likely have a V6

 

[Matex]

If they did in fact fit a turbo to the rumoured V8, would it be overkill or a awesome inclusion to the powerful V8

 

[pimp racer]

Nah, Nissan will probably use a V6 setup.

V6? Why not inline 6?

 

[skylineGTR_guy]

V6? Why not inline 6?

Some BS about emissions or soemthing like that, I never understood how a I6 can pollute more than a V6 but whatever....

Yeah but why do they allow the IS300 to have inline 6 and wont let the new skyline? Thats gay stupid law people.

Well the IS300 doesn't have a 480 ps TT engine either as the proposed GTR is supposed to have.....

 

[Jay]

A V6 allows you to have a shorter engine that they can put closer to the cars center to balance out the weight. Plus most people (A more of a world market, People with a mid life crisis with money) like the idea of a V6 over a IL6.

Yeah thats right forgot about that.

 

[kungpowchicken]

Isnt the M3 a inline 6

 

[Jay]

Yes the M3 is a IL6

Option Magazine is making their own GT-R, based on the V35/ G35 platform. It has a VK45DD engine, a V8, pushing 700HP. Maybe that's where the V8 rumor came from.

The V8 rumour has been around for a long time.

[SkylineObsession]

Inline sixes sound better 90% of the time (Skylines and BMW's namely).

I guess it was Top Secret. I've just been seeing it in the past few issues of option and thought it was one of their projects. That's certainly the car, though. and I guess it's 800HP, not 700. I can't read enough Japanese to really figure out what's going on in the magazine. (I can only make out a few things like "Silvia" or "Altezza")

 

[rollazn]

The rumor about the Skyline GT-R with the V8 is the same as the Honda NSX. Just like the NSX there has been rumor of a V8 but most likely both NSX and GT-R will have a V6.

 

[pimp racer]

I wonder if anyone has tried an inline 8? probably

 

[skylineGTR_guy]

Think of the length of the hood!

 

[Jay]

Yes Buick made a straight 8

 

[pimp racer]

Think of the length of the hood!

That would be amazing in a way.

Yes Buick made a straight 8

What model?

 

[Jay]

What model?

This is one example

on the engine pic the last spark plug is hidden by the horn.

 

[pimp racer]

Oh thanks Viper.

 

[Jay]

You were probably expecting something new and fancy
