well I have driven a skyline before and yes they are nice they are quick but the g35 (Skyline GT350) has every right to deserve the name, just cuz it doesnt come with two turbos and have a gt-r badge doesnt mean it has potential. Do some research about the new VQ35HR nissan said the bottom end of the block can do really high HP more than the older RB26dett can and the g35 is more aerodynamic as well as lighter and that AWS (Super hicas) broke all the time half the time most owners would diable it.

 

the RB16DETT has a stronger bottom end than the VQ35 man...
why do you think they made so many 1000+ hp skylines...

How many 1000+ hp VQ35s do you know of running around?
The HICAS was a POS in any car they put it in, 300ZX, GT-R whatever, they always broke.

please no point in arguing read about halfway down about the bottom end of the motor

 

Thats it right there... key word in bold.
But yes, i stand corrected.
I still dont think a skyline should be a V6 tho... not after all these decades.

 

oh yeah I agree with you on previous VQ's I am just saying the new one the HR is nice as hell

 

yeah, they got me with that one... makes you think tho, imagine if they had kept developing the Neo6 RB26 form the R34?

I think the only reason they dropped that engine is because it was just 2.6 and to make it a 3.0 or bigger it would be taller, and a tall engine is harder to package in a car that you want to export in both LHD and RHD setups.

 

I thought the Neo VVL was a great and very effecient technology they had it in the sr20 and sr16 the Sr16VE N1 was put in the 2002 pulsar VZ-R and it was said it could safely support and flow 10500 rpms

 

yeah it was pretty bad ass, wasnt it on the very last version of the R34, the N1 or whatever it was called Version

 

it was on the very last version of the r34 the rb25 and 26 had it as well as the sr20/16

 

hey your in Manassas.. cool.
i used to pass thru there a lot..
