well i went to nissan on suday just to look at the new skyline gt, and well they asked me if i wanted to drive a car, well what do you think, the skyline was all taken for times so i took out a new Z, the guys at nissan where so cool, they give you this little pack that has a cell phone in it and everything just incase you get lost, pluse the test car had gps in it so it was real easy, the car was really nice, loved it, the clutch is a little weird, it takes a long time for it to ingage, like you have to let it out a lot, but the take off is real nice, man add a turbo and hell it would be one bad *** car, well i just wanted to tell everyone that if you come to tokyo go to Ginza on a Sat. or Sun. and you can test drive a car for free, they give it to you for 30mins, wish it was longer, next sunday i will go drive the new skyline gt...they said that the gtr would be back in 2 years!!!:firedevil

i don't know if GT means it's the coupe, but he's talking about the infiniti g35, in japan it is the skyline.

about this cell phone and packet...does this mean that they let you drive it by yourself? nobody from the dealership is in the car with you?

yeah they let me and my girlfreind take it out, it was real nice, as for a pic of the new skyline gt, i don't have one, but its a coupe, and its not that bad looking at all, its wider than the old gtr and sits lower to, also longer, if you get to pic up the new option 2 there is a side by side pic of all the new cars to the old ones, like the rx7 to the rx8, so i will try to get some pics with my girfreinds cell phone on sunday if i go

Ugh... It doesn't look like a Skyline at all. I don't like it. But as a car, it does look nice.

Needs an RB26 in it.

I was up in Tokyo a couple of weeks ago and walked to Top Secret from the nearest train station, all the rental cars were out! Anyway I stood next to that car, it's quite beautiful. Met some of the mechanics but Nagata-san wasn't there that day. Godspeed they let you drive Toyotas over at the big showroom in Palette plaza by Big Sight. I dropped 300 yen and jumped in a new Soarer, very nice!:) I can't wait to get back up there. I am planning on heading up there for next year's Auto Salon, I would like to take the ferry so I can bring my Silvia up for a little Wangun action but it's sooo expensive.

I think Nagata-san has used up all the gold paint in Japan, he has like 15 "shop cars" and they are all painted gold except for those two!
