Brown Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I was approaching my office today when I saw what looked like a 350z.. it was a very similar shape, but the rear window was a lot different - so I thought it MIGHT have been an imported Infinite G35 (which I'd seen in America). But when I checked the back, there was a Nissan badge, SKYLINE was written across the boot and it had GTR 350 on the right. I couldnt spot the plate because the car was partially obscured by a fence.. my mate later just said it wasn't a British plate anyone seen one of these? I cant find any on Google Edit: Its this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Nissan_V35_Skyline_350GT.jpg/800px-Nissan_V35_Skyline_350GT.jpg Still, I've never seen one before. The V35 was a major turning point for the Skyline. There was no straight 6, no turbo, and no GT-R. Nissan put a slightly more powerful VQ35DE in the 350Z, and although the Skyline & the 350Z shared the same platform, the 350Z had additional bracing, underbody aero parts, and weighed 100 kg less.[11] Japanese tuners mostly ignored the V35 Skyline, the 2006 Tsukuba Super Lap Battle had not a single V35 entrant.[12] Tuners such as Mines, Amuse, Hosaka, Garage Defend, M Speed, Nagisa, MCR, HKS, & Top Secret continued developing R32-R34 GT-Rs. Top Secret did tune a V35, but they replaced the VQ35DE with a VK45DE V8 Twin Turbo.[13] Signal USA entered a V35 in Formula D, replacing the VQ35DE with an SR20DET.[14] The 11th generation (V35) Nissan Skyline, introduced in June 2001, was based on Nissan's FM platform, shared with the 350Z. The Nissan Skyline used a front-midship engine (VQ35DE), rear-wheel drive layout (all-wheel drive was available for the sedan) to achieve a 52%/48% weight distribution. The V35 was the first Skyline made for export to the United States. There it was sold under the company's luxury brand, Infiniti, as the Infiniti G35.
