bah, I'm not registering for that. Post the pics or host them yourself :)

I have already seen tons of pics of the GTR that is rumored to be coming here very soon, including a Nissan pamphlet from the LA auto show..

Here's a link:http://www.ultimatecarpage.com...=1044

And from what I've heard they do plan on bringing the car over as a GTR (not Skyline mind you), and yes this has been discussed before:D

i like it. except for the front end. they need to fix that before production. but the back end and profile definately befit the GTR image.

Yes, I know this has been discussed tons of times before, but i havent seen any of the skylines that look like that. The other ones i have seen have a more of a conservative look, this one is wild looking i think, maybe do somthing with the hood.

yeah, I had seen those pictures before. Personally I think it looks a little too futuristic and that Nissan should rethink some of the details. It does not resemble a skyline in any way except for the tail lights that were pretty much copied from the R34. If I worked at nissan's R&D, I would put on my "lets not screw this one up" hat and really think it over. Don't get me wrong. I like the car, but I think that they should take more styling cues from the previous models.

As for powerplants, I have heard rumors about the VQ35de or a V8(maybe the one in he Q45). I did read however that Nissan designed an 8spd. manual transmission for the R35, but it was quickly dismissed as being unpractical. And the platform will be the same as the 350Z and the G35 coupe.
