I do know that the G35 couple is 'sold' as a 'Skyline' in Japan, but it is not, nearly as capable as the LEGENDARY R34, and so forth... I believe that's why Nissan is marketing this as the GT-R, and not as the Skyline (maybe here in the U.S.) because they already have one in Japan (Infiniti G35 (now the G37))

c2953lm, you're gravely uninformed. The rebadged Japanese Nissan Skyline aka G35 in the USA is a travesty to the Skyline name and heritage. Combining the G35 and 350z?? How about they all 3 have the same platform? The engine has nothing in common. The Z and G have the VQ, the GT-R has a completely redesigned VR engine. Also, turbo lag is almost non-existent, as it peaks torque at little over 1000 rpms and maintains a smooth power curve throughout the powerband. To put it in simple terms, it has more torque sooner than a naturally aspired Corvette.
I recommend that you read up some technical information, specs and especially driver reviews before you spew such uninformed opinion.

The funny thing is it is already over here in the US, but nobody knows what it is. Its the Infinity G35 coupe, but In Japan it is sold as the a Nissan. Now the engine will be different than the G35. It goes 350z, G35 coupe, and then the 2009 Nissan.
The 2009 Nissan combines the both of the 350z and G35, and use the same platform.
Nissan is Infiniti
And by no means will it blow anyone away going 0-60mph. Because of the V6 and turbo lag, but that's about it. other than that its fast.
Source(s): http://www.nissannews.com/ Friend was in Japan on a business meeting, and saw a couple of them. Hey fishbone you know why my buddy was at a meeting in Japan, He helped design the New Nissan. It is not possible to not have Turbo lag with a turbo especially a Twin Turbo, How i own a porsche carrera 911 twin. Unless you racing which i do, there is no point in putting a twin on a car, because once you get up to the speed limit you cant go more that 15-20 over, and cops especially love to pick off nice cars( I live in chicago). Also all the info at the top is * Japan-market features and specifications shown. http://www.gtrnissan.com/specs.en.us.html read the bottem. The car over here here in the US will only have a 450 hp engine and no Turbos(real bummer) thats why the price is not of a porsche or audi R8. Read the FINE PRINT before you decide to rip on someone. Also I never said anything about the Engines being the same. And did i Not say that the 350z and G35 are combined to make the Skyline? Read carefully My buddy who helped with a part design for the car, told me that with what the engine is running, there is a part that will not allow the Japan Model to pass the US emissions test. Now I don't know if Nissan will try to use a different part instead, but as of right now with what is running in Japan, it would fail an emissions test. I would like to see the Japan model come over, but that little part may possibly hold them back. Sorry, I do not know what part it is, but it is something with the exhaust system. The reason it is not in US articals, is because the car still has time before it is introduced here, thats why it is not a big deal yet. - 1 decade ago
The GTR is on the PM platform, not on the same platform as the Z and G35, rather an improved version of their FM
c2953lm, not trying to be rude, but where exactly have you seen that the U.S. version is not getting turbos and what our power specs will be? I try to keep up to date, and have not yet read that sad news anywhere.
that really sucks about the emissions, i had read that the 6speed manual was the only thing having problems passing emissions...my question now is, why has it been all over the west coast roads if it isn't emissions compliant? it seems odd that California would allow that thing to drive around their roads if it wasn't emissions legal
c2953lm, yeah i kinda thought about that after i asked that question...makes since why it wouldn't have to abide by our rules yet...thanks

Fish Bone. c2953lm is right on this one, you shouldn't be ripping on people, when you question them for saying the right thing, but you think its wrong.(example- The car platform) You said the same thing yet you said he was wrong.
Any ways the specifications listed on the web site are as stated correctly the Japanese specs, not the US specs. And according to my local Nissan dealer the Japanese and American Versions are different(engine specs). But thats it. other than that Its still a sick car.
Nice to know someone else has a Porsche 911 twin turbo c2953lm.
