still waiting to see what engine, drivetrain they throw in it.....it better be either a 4.5 or a 3.5 TT and i would hope they would use ATTESA or some variation of it.

Rumors lean toward 3.5-3.7L Twin Turbo but who knows, and yes plenty of time to save.

honestly i dont care if they call it an infinity or nissan as long it is still the skyline. The only thing i hope is that the ones in japan and the us are going to be the same thing.

Nissan, Infinity......whatever. It won't be wearing any of those badges anyway right? They gonna stick with the GT-R one. But yeah I think it is better that Infinity will sell it cuz few people are gonna be willing to spend $65,000 for a Nissan....

Worst statement ever. :rolleyes:

BTW-The G35 Sedan already comes available with AWD....the G35x....so why would it be so different? Because it will have more cats than the JDM one, like the WRX and Evo? What a ridiculous arguement.

the X version is only a 5spd auto version hence no fun, however i agree with the more cats thing also you know they will mess with timing, cam ish, intake design, pointless shit to -2 hp here and -1 hp there for ya..... but if the X is every available in the Stick you better believe i'd own that ish!

I was just about to say that. As a former infinitI owner I always hated it when people spelled it like that, What are you Buzz Lightyear?

I'll take "Things I already know because I work at Infiniti" for a thousand, Alex.

"The G35x and the GTR have this in common, making it easier for Infiniti to bring the GTR here"

"What is AWD?"

DING!

But with the Infiniti name so many old ass wannabe young muthafuckas will have it and will make the car seem like PS1 everybody and they momma had one! Either way i might try to save up and try to hit the lotto or something because thats a nice as car and i hope my drift project will be done so i can save funds for that!

yeah.. rumors lean towards the 3.7 liter Twin turbo, damn... if thats the case ill just swap that motor (if possible) into the already payed off (then) 350z

VQ32DETT is what has been hinted at by Nissan more than anything else. (that's a twin turbo 3.2L V6)

It will be AWD with ATTESA.

The suspesion will be tuned by both Lotus and NISMO.

And it will be the shit.

About damned time Nissan brought the GTR back to their product lineup. They came out with the Skyline 350GT and just did away with the GTRs when the R34 died ... so sad. Ah well, at least now we're finally getting it.

And what is so wrong about the G35x having the automatic tranny? Just flick the stick over to manual mode and drive it like a stick. Hell, I think they even have paddle shifters (can't remember if my uncle's G35 does) so then you can keep both hands on the wheel and not crash when you're trying to be mad d0rifto cool.

I haven't looked at the 06's yet, but the older ones don't.

The G35x doesn't have the manumatic shifters? Weird ... my uncle got his G35 in an automatic so his wife could drive it ... but he got a nice compromise. He got a Porsche 911 about a year or two later :D Even with the auto, the G35 is still pretty damn fun.

I agree. I drove different G35s, stick and auto (and even an FX35) for 2 weeks and I still enjoyed the autos, but the 6 speeds were my preference.
