SPOTTED- BRAND NEW SKYLINE

[aaronfelipe]

I was riding last night and spotted it at The Avenue in Gwinnett. It had a California tag # 562 or something similar to that. I guess the guy was joy riding because he kept making U turns and going back and forth. This was the only shot I was able to take (I had to take my gloves off and pull out the phone while I was riding and had to wait to come to a complete stop before I could take it). Looks AMAZING in person :idb:

I don't know why you guys are talking about Skylines. The car in the picture is a GTR. Skyline is a Japanese G35. And the GTR is on its own platform. The only thing is shares with the 350Z are the emblems. It may be heavy and ugly but it is faster than anything in its price range. Also a base GTR was onyl 3 seconds off of a ZR1 around the ring. When the VSPEC GTR comes out the ZR1 will get a nice raping. I do however agree that this is a pointless thread. I see this car every day. On tv, on the internet, in every ****ing car magazine. It costs as much as a 911 or a Z06 and I see those every day on the road, within 2 years these things will be on every corner. It's not a ****ing Enzo or Veyron. Stop posting pictures.

tick tock tick tock before i get to drive one :D. GTR has grown on me.

so wait...it carries on the next nameplate as the skyline gtr's we all know, (r35, since you recall the g35 versions were "v35's and v36's" ) shares the same styling, carries the traditional GTR badges, and has been dubbed the world over as the successor to the nissan skyline gtr, and even shows on the nissan websites as its main heritage coming directly from r30's-r34's (along with some of the pre Rtagged skylines), with no mention of a g35 based vehicle, and just b/c they dont put the skyline name plate on it i cant call it a skyline? give me a break, it was dubbed as a skyline from day one of the spyshots....call it what you want, but it was built as being americas first skyline gtr...whether they put the plastic badge on it or not

[Andr3w]

Got a chance to see one in March at the Z Nationals. Very nice

BTW, it's a GTR, not a Skyline.

[carbon_crash]

This car is tagged from California cause the guy driving it runs his company out of Cali. The guy driving this car lives in loganville in the same neighborhood as one of my friends. I've seen this car at his house while going to my friends. He tests drives cars for a living and then tells the writers his reviews of the performance, handling, comfort, etc. He also currently has a 500hp turbo Bently thats not in production yet too. This guy has got the best job ever:yes:

[chinitoxamor]

why does everyone call it skyline? its not labeled on the car, its only labeled as GTR

[Elbow]

why does everyone call it skyline? its not labeled on the car, its only labeled as GTR

Cause it's a Skyrine biatch GTFO JDM 4 LYF3

[chinitoxamor]

Cause it's a Skyrine biatch GTFO JDM 4 LYF3


skyrine??? puahahahaha im serious, if its labeled as the skyline then it would have came out as a skyline but its not, its labeled GTR out from the factory.. so why call it a skyline?

[DunDunSkeert]

Wow I live about 30 sec down that road (Janmar). Why didn't I get to see it?

[Evil Goat]

skyrine??? puahahahaha im serious, if its labeled as the skyline then it would have came out as a skyline but its not, its labeled GTR out from the factory.. so why call it a skyline?


see my above response....its a direct relative to the skyline gtrs we all know...not the v35/36 versions that are currently out....that is why i will call it a skyline

[Krappy]

this thread is an epic failure...

[Krappy]

OH yeah its not a fuking skyline its a gtr.... no where on the car does it say skyline u n00b

[chinitoxamor]

^^ thank you at least someone knows the truth, same thing with everyone else who drives around with a g35 with a skyline badge, get a life, its not a skyline, its a gtr, reading the retail label on the car, it says 2009 NISSAN GTR.. not skyline

[ThaABomb]

Yea, um, actually the G35 is the Skyline in Japan. The GTR, however, is not a Skyline.

its ok dude, its ok to cry. i know that u have seen tons of "Skyline GTR35" pics and never seen one in person. its ok to envy someone that has a phone pic of it. dont worry, ull be able to see one up close and personal. :gay: ..i promise :dunno:

[yogi08]

i just call it "the new skyline" LOL! really though, its the same platform as a skyline... the rear lights are nearly trade marks for skylines... all of them have it. but dont get me wrong, so does the impala too though. of course its GTR from the factory... but its just cooler "i own the new skyline GTR" haha kidding. but why argue about all of this?

[imbatman]

yeah i know right y argue. i guess some people are born haters. they whine so much y the sky is blue and why the wind is blowing 55mph like a bunch of girls

Saw one at the car show jackass and saw 2 around town but I don't post pictures of it. If I wanted to see pictures I would look at every Motor Trend, Car and Driver, or Road and Track printed in the past year. But thank you for making an ass out of yourself.

[koukis14]

so wait...it carries on the next nameplate as the skyline gtr's we all know, (r35, since you recall the g35 versions were "v35's and v36's" ) shares the same styling, carries the traditional GTR badges, and has been dubbed the world over as the successor to the nissan skyline gtr, and even shows on the nissan websites as its main heritage coming directly from r30's-r34's (along with some of the pre Rtagged skylines), with no mention of a g35 based vehicle, and just b/c they dont put the skyline name plate on it i cant call it a skyline? give me a break, it was dubbed as a skyline from day one of the spyshots....call it what you want, but it was built as being americas first skyline gtr...whether they put the plastic badge on it or not

[90_ACCORD]

yeah i passed it again this morning on my way to goodyear on 78
this time it was going toward stone mountian
wish i knew who drives it

[josh green]

Nissan USA isnt calling it a skyline and all the other "skyline" models are here in the states as G series cars. So I would call it its proper name as the GTR. Magazine may have speculated it as the new "skyline GTR" before it came out, but how is that any different than calling the new "NSX prototype" an NSX when it 99.9% wont be called an NSX. Not hating, just being logical.

[chinitoxamor]

logical, if its a G35 in USA then its a G35, not a skyline.

my example

http://www.jdmv35.com/jdm_v35.htm

no matter what you do to the car, you can change the badges on the outside and call it a skyline 350gt whatever you want it. but reality is.. its still a INFINITI G35

[DunDunSkeert]

This whole argument is kind of gay. Why don't we all just appreciate the fact that it is cool car.

The car is exactly the same in Japan other than RHD. But you dont see people walking around saying they have a skyline. Its called a GTR in japan and its called a GTR here. It doesnt have anything in common with the older skylines other than its turbocharged and AWD. No similar chassis, engine, suspension, transmission. The only thing similar cosmetically is the tail lights. I know this argument isnt going to result to anything but Nissan doesnt call it a Skyline, so it ISNT.

[ATK_Designs]

geez people, just call it whatever the mfg call it.

Nissan announced that this will be a Nissan GT-R and will no longer carry the "skyline" prefix, then let's call it the GT-R?

Simple, they created the names, we follow.

[imbatman]

everybody grow up and stop fighting like pussies

[Evil Goat]

So if you know so much about the car, why did you call it a turbo 350Z? And keep calling it a Skyline when it is not?


i dont really know **** about the car....im just not a retard....you wanna argue about a plastic badge when we all know that when it was announced and the spyshots started rolling in everyone of you ****ing nissan fan boys were calling it a goddamn skyline.....yes on the books its a seperate model from the skyline, but we all know what it derived from....its the successor to the skyline, for ****s sake looks like the traditional skylines we all know, and is touted as their new supercar....its a skyline, end of story.

WOW! 3 pages of nothing over a picture. :screwy:

I don't see Honda fanboys call the RSX by Integra (even though the JDM version is still Integra) Or Toyota Fanboys call the new IS by Altezza?? ;) lol

Simple, it's because they aren't really the same (even though mfg still name them the same).

Now, if the MFG announced officially as to why they name the car a certain name and not the "tradition" ones, then people should respect their decisions.

Quick lecture even though I'm no way a hardcore Nissan fanboy:

Previous Nissan "Skyline" Model have so many types/Trims. GT-R was the top of the line type that made that specific Nissan Skyline model so famous. Thus people over used the term "Skyline" when they talk about the GT-R type.

To distinguish the difference, Nissan decided to name the new car, GT-R as its own model. It's no longer a type of the Skyline model nor have any association with the Skyline. The only Nissan Skyline Associations are the 350GT, 370GT, etc. These are named Infiniti G35s and G37s. These are the "true" continuation of the Nissan Skyline Models.

That's more than just a plastic label or whatever.

I still don't get why people are so ignorant to call the cars by the names the mfg named it? It's only make people stupid, going around, calling it something it's not. If someone doesn't know the "fvck" about "ANY" car, they better shut up, listen or at least do some research before blabbering their mouth claiming their subjective opinions as if it's the fact.

I'm a automotive enthusiast and I take fair and unbiased views toward many vehicles. It's completely okay when people don't know about something, and call it. But it just sadden me to see ignorant people, even after they've been told the fact, refused to acknowledge it. :rant:



Btw, OP, thanks for sharing. I've yet to see a local own driver. You cellphone takes better p ics than mine :goodjob:
