and yes, it's coming here, the only question is whether it will use the same VQ35DETT as the JDM cars or a variation of the 4.5L V8 in the M45/Q45...
There will be no "Skylines" coming to the US. They will be Nissans and they will have V6 engines as opposed to the traditional inline 6's that GTRs have had in the past. Skyline will no longer have a GTR. Skyline has no left hand drive vehicles. I think that the GTR as we have known them may very well be a thing of the past. The replacement?.....will it be better?....will it be a Nismo mistake?? ...time will tell.

Chevrolet doesn't make a Corvette. It is a trim level of the Chevrolet.....Same with the Impala.

Yup! Nissan doesn't manufacture cars, either! They breed hamsters and feed them shrimp and make them watch mind-control videos about the life & times of Paddington Bear.

um, guys? hate to break it to you, but the G35 Coupe and Sedan are the US version of the current JDM Skyline sedans and coupes.
Never debated that, but do you see the name "Skyline" on them? I sure don't. The whole point of that statement, if i'm not mistaken, is that we won't have a "Skyline" in the states, which we won't. We have a G35.

From what I've read, it appears the GTR is gonna carry the VQ33DETT... thats the engine they are running in the factory race cars in japan. I wouldn't doubt it if that is what they will use for the future r35 GTR.. which (to tie back into the topic) will most definately be a big brother to the new upcomming "200sx"
