i think it uses a 2.5L VQ... don't quote me on that though.

I love the perforated area near the air vent! It's a nice look.

The GT-8 was powered by the 3.5L, not the 2.5L.

what is a GT8? So the Sedan in Japan is called Skyline too? I thought only the coupe is named skyline.

That's a terribly crappy review IMO. The way the article is written makes it sound like the GT-8 uses a conventional torque converter automatic with 8 ratios when in fact the GT-8 uses a CVT that only "simulates" a conventional 8 speed torque converter slushbox when in manual mode.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that the GT-8 only operates in "8-speed mode" when you slide the lever over into the manual shift gate. Otherwise it would behave like your average stepless CVT when the lever is in D as this is when a CVT is most efficient. You actually lose some of the efficiency a CVT affords when you switch it over into "manual mode" which simply mimics the actions of a conventional auto box.
