Nissan never said it was "in no way associated with" the Skyline any more. It's built on the Skyline's Advanced Front Midship architecture, has an interior that's largely based on the Skyline's, has an exterior that can obviously trace lines to the same generation Skylines, has an engine that, like all GT-R's before it, is a twin turbo-charged and upped-displacement version of a Skyline engine... And I've never heard a Nissan engineer or development person talk about the new GT-R not being related to the skyline. There's plenty of marketing horseturds that have been flung around about the fact that the GT-R isn't supposed to be a Skyline because it doesn't have Skyline in the name, but reality is reality, marketing is something else.
