It may look like a G35, but it'll be nothing like it underneath. All the R34's goodies like AWD, AWS, active diffs, aerodynamic addons, etc will be there; likely with a well tuned version of a 4.7L V8 (the VQ35 with 2 extra cylinders). I don't think the TT will show up, it's just too hard to get a good tune with current emissions laws (which killed the RB series).

And it'll likely be in Z06/Viper territory price wise (and performance wise).

First of all thats the OLD Skyline that they NEVER brought over the the US because they are overpriced, overweight, underpowered Junk. Its also illustrated or PS'ed or something to looks more "modern" or "curvaceous" or something. What ever it is, it definitely isn't anything new from Nissan, I figured you guys would know better than that.

The new GTR will probably becoming to the US and it will basically be a G35 with some wheels, aero goodies, and other various things like suspension, seats, blah blah blah. Supposedly its going to have a 450 HP TT engine, who knows, i've seen it in a few mags recently, but nothing is in stone.
I guess I am just a focking idiot cause I did not know better.

Yep. I did see in my car and driver magazine yesterday that the car does look like a G35. It also said AWD and all that noise WSB was dishing. $70,000 is what they expect. to WSB for the info.

WTF... Do you know anything about cars. Nissan never intended the skyline to be a stock car for anyone. They built a power house and detuned the living hell out of it because of regulations. They knew what is was capable of and so did eveyone that bought it. If it comes here to america it will be a new aged SUPRA with a heavy price tag. im guessing 70k. theres no way a nissan would cost anywhere near 100k.
