k i saw more pics yesterday in some jdm mag in mitsuwa ..... now i know why i dont like them:



A- the lights are weird, they dont follow the r32, r33, r34 long horizontal lights, they are long vertical lights like the g35 coupe and 350z, maybe theyre going for a new look now, back to stage 1 but i dont like that



B- its hatchback......wheres the trunk



C- theres no cool spot for a GTR logo AND theyre thinking of making a new GTR logo



anyone else find it weird how g35 stands for 3.5 liters....350z 3.5 liters....but..r35 = 3.5 liters? .... r30 31 32 33 and 34 never stood for their liters....
Welp, I guess the Cavalier at the end of my street will have to change his badges to keep up with the trend

I have owned a Z32 and know there weaknesses, overheating is one of the huge problems, from lack of space under the hood. And now there attepting to put a bigger one in again (VQ35DETT) Power wise it will be a killer, especially if the rumors are true and there gonna ditch that stupid 208kw rule, I guess time will tell
It'll use the RB26DETT like always. That engine rocks so hard they'll be hard pressed to design something better.

Skylines are as rare as a sighting of any other exotic, Last number I heard there were 37 road legal skylines in the US.

Old school Rx's and Skylines are amazing.
