Incorrect! The name of the actual car in Japan is Skyline. They're both one in the same. Check Nissan of Japan's website. I've already posted the link. It is not the Skyline in the traditional history of the vehicle. However, the V35 in Japan is the Skyline, and that is the same vehicle imported to the US as the G35. (Btw, I have a buddy in Japan who verified this.)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skyline#V35

i guess i stand corrected. like i said, everything i've read said that they haven't made the Skyline since they stopped making the R-34. i'm a little confused as to why the magazines that cover the import scene and do a lot of coverage in Japan have never mentioned that the G-35 is called the Skyline over there?

It's pretty much common knowledge all over the G35 forums though.

On 14 January 2005, Nismo resurrected the R34 GT-R for one last tour of duty before the introduction of the anticipated next generation GT-R. Labeled as the R34 Z-tune, the Nismo engineers made the car the most powerful road-going GT-R ever created. Using rebuilt R34s with much technology borrowed from the GT500 Racing GT-Rs and endurance racing GT-Rs, the Z-tune has a 2.8 L twin turbo instead of the stock 2.6 L engine, racing pistons, connecting rods and camshafts, and an upgraded ECU, giving the Z-tune 500 hp (370 kW) and 540 N·m (400 lb·ft) of torque. The car became affectionately known as the "Mother of all GT-Rs" and it carries a price tag of about US$ 170,000. Nismo has stated that this car will be a limited edition, and only 20 will ever be made and sold.

That's a possibility why they don't mention the name too often. It's pretty much common knowledge all over the G35 forums though.

I think they've sold 2 of them so far. And I have seen a lot of G35 owners around here simply rebadge their G35s, like those GTOs that rebadge their cars with the Holden emblems.
