All I've really heard about w/ Nissan's sport cars for the states recently has been the 350Z. Are there any plans to have the sr20det come stock for 240's in the future? And I've heard so many different things about when the Skylines will be here, so when will they? Is there any other info on any new car or changes or upgrades to a current nissan that will be coming out w/in the next 5-10 years or before? Thanks.

Nissan's and Infinity's future seems very bright. Nissan's release of the new Altima is badass, and the Maxima is getting an SE-R with 260hp. Then, the 350z is coming with maybe 280hp and under $30 grand.

And let's see, supercharged Frontier and Xterra sounds yummy. They need a better minivan than the Quest tho. And 240hp Pathfinder, those things are FAST, I raced my friend in his dad's 01 Pathfinder with my 98 240 and whupped me from start to finish, I didn't have a chance!

On the Infinity side, the Skyline is coming, the lesser version of course, as the G35. It has the same engine as in Japan. But this is NOT the GT-R version. This is a version that will appeal to the consumer as a luxury/family car, not a sports car. The Skyline GT-R will come to the US in a few years, when it is released in Japan, it will also be realeased here, as the Infinity X35, same 3.5 liter V6 engine, but possibly twin turbo.

I read in SCC that they replaced the RB engines with the VQ engines. Gone are the inline-6, and say hello to V6, even in Japan.

I highly doubt that the 240sx/Silvia will ever come to the States. Why? Because of the Sentra SE-R. And the fact that the SR20DET is hard to make pass smog/CARB/EPA or whatever. If the Silvia should ever come here, it might be badged as an Infinity and probably have a 2.5liter 200-hp 6-speed, and named S25. Just a bit of babbling, and hopefully it comes true.
