No the R35 GTR is totally different the the 350Z Skyline type thing.
GTR is the keyword, and its not out yet. Suspect it will be about 60k. Awesome.
Nick, to drive one is quite odd, the 2wd most of the time means you dont suffer so much loss through the train. The 4wd kicks in quicker than you can imagine so you dont really notice it too much. Its not the same as driving a scoob however. Plus I didnt get to drive on in anger

Picked this up over the xmas period, what a car for the money!
I felt sorry for the chap, he got sold a proper lemon. Unfortunately for him, he bought cheap and got cheap. I dunno how he's soldiered on. It's an R32 like yours, but he's must be over the

Gaddafi - Nearly all Skylines are imports, I think you could only buy the R34 GTR new over here at around the 50k mark (around 30k in Japan new!)
As has been said the beauty of the 4WD system is less transmission loss and the 'feel' of a RWD, the 4WD computer calculates 4-5 times a second, so its pretty bang on, and even quicker in the 33 and 34 versions, I'm still running the Jap tyres which is another reason for it being tailhappy at the mo I think.
32's are at rock bottom right now, some importers are still asking 10k+ for mint tuned versions, but you cant be sure it has the spec it says it has, which is why I'd never pay money like that for one. A guy on www.gtr.co.uk has just paid 11k for a standard 94' 32..... madness!
If your looking for a trackday toy, I'd say you couldnt go faster for the money, plus it makes you look like a driving god!

Yeah they prefer open sweeping roads/track but do feel small when your in them, thats one of the things I was most suprised about.

This is what I meant. Its not the GTR I know but they are being called the R35. I can't find a pic I saw at the weekend with one tastefully "Pimped up" by Messrs Nismo.
Cracking car for the money - I'm sure Abbey Motorsport could work wonders on it.

Thats the buisness big man,
32's are the main dogs in my opinion,
so quick and raw.
My mate got a 32 will full built HKS engine (import)
I had to throw out the boxers i was wearing, twisty roads nothing will keep up, he sold a 33 gtr to go to the 32gtr.....
