This is what I heard from my friends. &nbsp;Correct me if I'm wrong because i have no idea. &nbsp;In japan aren't there Skyline sedans??? &nbsp;Well, the luxury/sedan skylines are in america known as the G35's. &nbsp;And the fast Skylines are going to be called something else??? &nbsp;Something else like the GT-R or whatever right? &nbsp;Don't flame on me, I'm just guessing on this one.

[blaqsilvia]

BUMP! the other post was a messup! sorry about that people! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/exclamation.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':x:'>

[xLSTONEx]

Yea I have heard that too. But I wonder if it will be a coupe or sedan? There is a picture of both in your pictures.

[DSC]

just edit the other one. &nbsp;this is the one that should be deleted since it is the least active.

[AKADriver]

The GT-R has always been the exception, not the rule... &nbsp;the Skyline has been Prince and then Nissan's sports sedan since 1957. &nbsp;The two door model didn't even exist until the late '60s. &nbsp;4 door RWD Skylines make up the bulk of Skyline sales.

An R32 Skyline GTS-t sedan is one car I'd love to own...

The Skyline 350GT-8 is pretty cool though. &nbsp;It's basically identical to the G35, except RHD, and instead of the G35 sedan's 5 speed automatic it gets a CVT.

There are 4 door GT-Rs, also. &nbsp;In the late '60s the original GT-R was offered as a 2 or 4 door, then the R33 GT-R had a 4 door model in '97 for the Skyline's 40th anniversary.

From the other post (can we lock that one - this one is better):

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Yes, Skyline = G35, but the GTR will now be named the GTR. &nbsp;Think of this like a BMW 5-series. &nbsp;You have the pedestrian 530 which is a nice luxo-sport sedan and you have the M5, which is a monster! &nbsp;Ditto w/ the Skyline. &nbsp;GTR is like an M5 - only now they will have a distinct look (same chassis).

FWIW, I saw my first G35 coupe this weekend. &nbsp;That car is amazing. &nbsp;So much better than I imagined. &nbsp;IMHO, makes the Z look waaaaaay less appealing. </td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

So would it be possible to put a r33 GT-R front end on a '98 G35, as well as drop in an RB engine? &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

[InferiorWang]

how many of yall are just finding out that the g35 is the skyline? &nbsp;Yall are behind the times. &nbsp;The g35 is just the infiniti version of the skyline r35 with a lesser engine like they always do to us americans &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> I'm sure you could prolly drop an rb in a new g35; it doesnt seem like it would be to incredibly hard, for an engine swap that is. &nbsp;and the Skyline GT-R has always been the expensive, fast, ultra cool skyline. &nbsp;I want an r32. &nbsp;Those are my fav, followed closely by the r33's. &nbsp;*sigh*

This is quite possibly the DUMBEST question I've ever seen on this board and there's some stiff competition on here. There is no 98 G35. It was introduced in 2002. The engine configuration is V6 and the engine bay is tight as it is. Squeezing in an RB without serious chassis modification is out of the question.

Would you care to share how the G35 engine is "inferior" to the equivalent Skyline V35 engine? The Skyline V35 is offered with the same engine as the G35 in the US. VQ35DE. Actually that's only on the high-line 350 GT-8. The lower-line Skyline V35's have VQ30's and VQ25's.

FYI, there is no R35 as of yet. The R35 is still very speculative and will most likely use a VQ33/35DETT.

Skyline DOES NOT EQUAL Skyline GT-R.
Just like Lancer does not equal Lancer Evolution.
Just like Impreza does not equal Impreza WRX/STi/22B.
Just like Integra does not equal Integra Type R.
Just like NSX does not equal NSX Type R.

As for your engine swap theory, just look at the damned cars. You would think that since the BNR32 and BNR33 are your favorite cars, you would notice just how F*CKING LONG the engine compartment is and how much overhang it has to accomodate a longitudinally mounted I6 with 4WD. There's almost no way to squeeze an RB25/6 into the front end of a snub-nosed G/V35. hell, we're just trying to figure out how to stuff an intercooler in it, there's that little room. Now the R35 might be a different story, but why bother since Nissan has already shown that the VQ33/35DETT is superior in terms of weight, balance and power output?

[HippoSleek]

The s110 - s14 were based on the fact that the chassis was and "S" chassis (look at the vin)

The R is a separate chassis (e.g., BNR34, BNR33, etc.). &nbsp;The new Skyline is not based on a car with an "R" chassis.

It looks like the Skyline is the V51 - NOT the R35. &nbsp;All Skylines were "R" chassis - even non-GTR. &nbsp;All accounts I heard were that the GTR would be based on the same chassis as the G35 (i.e., the V51). &nbsp;(the 350z is the Z34).

Make what you will, but don't count on an "R35."

OK, think of the Skyline as a sedan and think of the Skyline GT-R as a coupe. &nbsp;So yes the G35 is the Skyline SEDAN....but has no connections with the upcoming GT-R. &nbsp;A good example of car models using the same first name but different ending would be the Carrera and Carrera GT. &nbsp; Both of them start with "Carrera", but the "GT" signifies(sp) a completely different car. &nbsp; Does any of that make sense? &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

Okay ass, I looked on auto trader, and there was a sedan labeled G35 that looked similar to the picture of the 4-door skyline previously shown in this post. I guess it actually wasn't a G35. Anyway i was just asking because its the cool thing to do a sr swap and JDM front, and if it was possible to do it with what i now know is a non-existant '98 G35 sedan, that would be cool. Just try not to be an ass.

Kind of a really bad analogy, but I guess it works. They did make 4-door Skyline GT-R's. Another not-so-uncommon swap is Stagea wagon/BNR34. Basicaly an R34 GTR 5-door wagon. Pretty badass. R32, R33 and R34 Skylines shared quite a bit internally with their GTR versions, so to say that have no connections isn't accurate. As for the newest GTR, no one knows. We'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, but all you had to do was look a little harder to realize that they were wrong. Even just looking at the lines of the R33 vs. G35/V35 you can tell they have nothing in common. Which leads me to my point. The R33 headlights would look like ass. The lines are all wrong. The V35 Skyline has pretty much the exact same front end as the US G35.

Aside from that, I wasn't being an ass about any of the above. I don't care if you want to make an ugly car or got bad information from Autotrader. It's just that the basic logical flaws of trying to swap an RB into a G35 are glaring. The next post I wrote outlined that.

[AKADriver]

The Skyline vs. Skyline GT-R relationship is basically the same as BMW 3-series vs. BMW M3. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

[jupiterl]

Just to clearify. The R35 Skyline in Japan is the same as G35 in US. Also, the G35 coupe is also called Skyline coupe. The Skyline and GTR has been splited into two different line of products. The Skyline is more into luxury, and GTR is straightly TOP-OF-THE-LINE nissan racing machine.

For R32 ~ R34 Skyline was separated into GTS, GT, GTR and GTR-Vspec , GTR VspecII and GTR M-spec ( R34 ), also two door and four door configuration.

So, starting from earlier this year in Japan, when you ask for a new Skyline, the dealer will sell you either the G35 or G35 coupe. When you ask for New GTR, and they will tell you to wait because it hasn't come out yet.

As for the Evo7, buy it now at Evolution Imports (http://www.evolutionimports.net). Or wait for January/February 2003 when the Evo8's hit US Mitsubishi dealers.

Edit: It appears that Evolution Imports site is down. Perhaps they have shut down due to the Evo8's introduction. I DO know that they brought over and sold more than 20 LHD Evo7's.

Edit #2: Dammit. Their site is back up. Rumor is that they still have 2 Evo7's left for $40K. They are also bringing in RHD Civic Type R's for $25K. Start saving your pennies...

hell, don't ask me. I didn't name them. V35 and Z33. Regardless of the VIN. It's happened before.

The first digit is left out of the VIN, but it's there on the cowl tags. "V51" in the VIN means it's a V15 or V35. "Z34" in the VIN means it's a Z13 or Z33.

Going to Nissan.co.jp shows that V35 and Z33 are indeed correect for the G35 (Skyline 350GT) (http://www.nissan.co.jp/SKYLINE/V35/0201/DATA/SPEC/index.html) and 350Z (Fairlady Z) (http://www.nissan.co.jp/Z/Z33/0207/DATA/index.html). On both pages, click on the second tab at the top, it's the fourth line on the chart underneath the engine codes. The Skyline 350GT is "UA-PV35" and the Fairlady Z is "UA-Z33".</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

It's good that it worked out that way though - I didn't doubt that they could have started over for the Skyline (if you're going to "V", why bother keeping the old number convention) - but it was galling that they would do that for the 350!

the G35 is the r35 in japan. it is now the "skyline." there have always been sedan, 4dr. versions of this car, by the way. there are even rare 4dr. GT-r's.

as a 'standalone' car, the G35 is great. i like it. as the new "skyline," however, it doesn't cut it. it lacks the design heritage and performance of the legendary status of the skyline lineage.
