TPLGT Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I will start first and get crushed for it but: Fugly. Rehab is for quitters.
-TT- Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 the r34 was so much more pretty than that thing. i don't hate it, i'm just stating an opinion
Guest Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 True, kinda fugly, especially white, with this black elements, like fender vent, etc. Too much contrast that break the lines. I think a black or a dark one might look okay.
VTGT Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 It is growing on me. Would not mind having this machine in my garage in the next few years.
Guest Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Kinda interesting how they could legally import it. I heard it's impossible to legally import JDM cars as a whole. For example, some folks who imported rare trims of JDM Imprezas, had to cut the body in half, and then to transplant every bit to a USDM body frame.
Mines Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 heres the reason http://blogs.cobbtuning.com/?p=190 summary, he wanted the car early so he could do r&d on it It seems as if there is a LOT of problems trying to hack into the ecu for the new gtr, even my favorite tuner is having problems http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/07/nissan-gt-r-cant-take-aftermarket-wheels-unapproved-race-track/
panamajack Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 this car is lame. if i had to choose between tis and a 997 4s i go porsche
Mines Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 really? I like it, of course I dont like the markup though. check out this review. [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=cN3zx8Y4pNM]YouTube - Fifth Gear - R35 Skyline GT-R Track Review by Jason Plato[/ame]
panamajack Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I just dont like all the limitations being put on it.

Your wallet might also be ~$10,000 lighter... Well, assume you wait a couple of years and can actually buy the car at MSRP. Part 1: http://www.autocar.co.uk/VideosWallp...AR=231443&CT=V Part 2: http://www.autocar.co.uk/VideosWallp...AR=231444&CT=V I don't like all the limitations either but I'm hoping the USDM version will have less of it. That and maybe the tuners can get around the ECU problem eventually.
C1Pendragon Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 Like it or not, it is still a BADASS machine. . . http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/c1pendragon/COBB_R35_1121.jpg
han Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I really like it. Not as sexy as the R34 or R33, but I still really like it.
tommypenguin Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I liked the r34 best also, I like the new backend on the redesigned skyline but like all nissans I do not like the front end, too cheesy. As for this car's performance its supposed to be superman on wheels.
bsdzine Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I'm agree with the past few posts. I like the car, I think it looks damn fine in the black. Granted I'm not too fond of all the electronic gadgets inside the car - I could only see myself playing with them a few days of the year - and as a daily driver I think they would get distracting. I think the gearbox sounds great from the rants, and the car seems mechanically sound... If I had the cash, this would be my next car (plus it claims to be fun, yet stable in the snow as well. so it could actually work all year 'round in CO.) I would suspect that Art probably would have the best knowledge on the flaws of the car... he's all nissan lovin'. brian
chenc544 Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 plus it claims to be fun, yet stable in the snow as well. so it could actually work all year 'round in CO. Well, apparently even just putting on aftermarket wheels will cause the ECU to throw a code. Oh, the stock tires are also "glued" to the wheel. So unless Nissan decides to release a winter tire/wheel package I wouldn't be too crazy about driving my $70k super car with semi-slicks in the snow...

Hops Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 My favorite is the R33! I guess I need to go down to Cobb and see this in person, though. I was down there last week and they aren't showing it off yet. The first real Skyline in the US! I think it's sick. I hear it has a GPS system that knows if you take it to a race track... Then they void your warranty. **** that. Buy my cars!
-TT- Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 it's not the first stateside skyline and also not the first r35.
