hi, first time poster. been trolling the site at work for days. awesome info around. however, with the different badging / names of the cars between USA and New Zealand i am sort of struggling to sift out one thing id like to know.

which skylines / v35 / g35 came with 4wd/awd?

best i have been able to work out is that there is a 250gt (2.5 litre) FOUR that has it, but other than that its the second gen that have them started roughly 06/07.
if this has been asked / answered in the past, then sorry. damn different names confusing the hell out of me

thanks in advance.

 

in US we don't have 2.5 model

AWD models are X models.

So in US it's G35X

thanks for the reply.

reason i asked was that ive just payed for a 300gt (the 3litre) and never even asked if it was 4wd/awd. the thought never crossed my mind. i sort of just asumed all of them where RWD as the only skylines in the past to have it where the gtr and the gts4.

i pick it up in 12 hours and started reading about ppl with awd/4wd "g35" (on this site) and thought oh snap, i wonder if i just bought one. haha.

so yeah, if this info helps its a nissan skyline 300gt 2002.

any further help would be great.

heres a link to the car i got, photos suck but info is all there.

I could be wrong
but that seems to be AWD since it has the opening in the front bumper by the license plate area.

Someone confirm this for me

 

* 250GT - 2.5 L VQ25DD V6, 215 hp (158 kW, 270 N m)
* 250GT Four - 2.5 L VQ25DD V6, 215 hp (158 kW, 270 Nm) AWD
* 300GT - 3.0 L VQ30DD V6, 260 hp (191 kW, 324 N m)
* 350GT-8 - 3.5 L VQ35DE V6, 272 hp (200 kW, 353 N m)
* 350GT Coupe - 3.5 L VQ35DE V6, 280 hp (206 kW, 363 N m)

Looks like the only one that came AWD was 250GT in your part of the world

 

makes sense, although i haven't looked into it.

 

isn't that Nismo front bumper?

Looks like car is equipped with Nismo aero package and rims.

 

I always thought that's only on the 05+ sedans.


BTW, I doubt that model is AWD. If it is, they definitely aren't trying to sell it...

 

Also -
4WD is for trucks to go offroading with... so they can climb rocks, etc...
AWD is for cars to help maintain traction so you won't need chains to drive through snow, etc...

 

thank you all VERY much for all the replies.

well, its good news for me if it really is RWD, which is my gut feeling. coming from r33 gts25t slightly worked, would have been a bit of a downer if it was awd. just for me personaly.

yeah its been pretty well optioned from factory, just missing the partial leather and thats it really. got a really good deal for my trade and moving on up in the world be sad to see my old skidder go but hay, gotta grow up some time i guess.

well, thanks alot for all the info, ill be sure to get some decent photos once ive taken delivery and post them in the photo part. think i might become a bit of a regular here, since you all replied so swiftly and nicely

 

True 4WD is definied as having a 4WD low gear in the transfer case.

If it doesn't, it's usually classified as AWD.

There are dozens of different setups of 4WD and AWD but the main distiguishing factor is having a low gear range.

 

Welcome to the club buddy! I've got a 300gt and 350gt as well from down under. Check my topics for pics. Definately rwd
Post pics when you get it.

 

thats kinda kreepy. not an hour ago i came across one of your pages while searching for the answer to this topic. haha. small world....wide web.. anyways, nice car. and yeah, ill take a few better shots and throw some on the site.
