Our G Coupes...are they the real last Skylines??
Ok, so with all the hype about the GT-R...I noticed most car mags indicating that the last Skyline was in 1999 called the R34. If our G Coupes are known as Skylines in Japan..aren't ours really the last Skyline? Let me know your thoughts or facts on what you've found...etc. Just curious to know the contradiction.

The last skyline was the R34.... The VQ is an embarrassment to the skyline family.
The G should be considered a G and not a Skyline. G39? I doubt it. How about improving the 3.7 motor instead of going bigger. Bigger doesn't always mean better. a 4.0 motor does not belong in a coupe. We already get crappy mileage.

Ps. For all you VQ haters, the RB was & is a great tunner engine w/a lot of potential BUT in stock form(w/the exception of V-Spec, V-Spec II, or Z-Tune ect...) the RB26 only came with 280ps and is a lot bigger/heavier & way "low-tech" in comparison to the VQ, wich just made the 10Best Engine list for an outstanding 14yrs in a row!!! Oh, and an NA RB25 made 250ps... they've got NA VQ's up to almost 400whp out there. Do a little research, you'll like what you find.

The Skyline has been made in 2- and 4-door since the '50s, it's what we drive.
The Skyline GT-R is the twin turbo AWD awesomeness that was released in '89 as the R32 and ended production in 2003 as the R34 (and now returning this year as the R35).
Most noobs (including a lot of magazine writers) refer to the GT-R simply as the Skyline. Don't be like them, know the difference.
