Who here owns one?

[Oakville]

I haven't heard anything really from R35 owners here...no build threads, no photos, no discussion...this subforum is not living to its full potential!

[Kras]

maybe you should buy one

[QuietChaos]

Nitrouz is an owner that comes to mind. Most R35 owners go to GTROC.

yeah not to knock GTRC but this isnt really home to the r35. this is a pure skyline owner site for sure.

I think most of the people on this site look at R35 GT-R's as more or less a disgrace to the Skyline GT-R lineage.

I mean, it doesn't have a tried and true low capacity inline 6. It doesn't have a standalone Twin Turbo setup (from what I hear, they're integrated). It ditched the Skyline name, in order to enhance sales. And it's mostly all computer controlled (a trait that should have reached its limit with the BNR34).

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure most people here like them, but I don't think many people see them as a sort of "continuation" that is worthy of the GT-R nameplate.

Not only that, but I'd be willing to bet most of us on here are young guys, just starting to make it in the world, who are very happy with our lowly R32's and R33's.

i dont think the R35 is a disgrace.

fyi, even the R34 JGTC cars didnt use the RB anymore, it was ditched in 03.. or sometime around there, but definately had the V6 in there already by then.

do you see how much ass it kicks everywhere? it DEFINATELY deserves the GTR name.

I don't care how much ass it kicks, I don't think it's worthy. If it is, which is a slim IF, it shouldn't be a seperate model, but an extension of the Skyline range itself.

In other words, it's title should be "Skyline GT-R". Skyline's were the ones who started the ass kicking, with the GT-B's in the 60's. The GT-R wouldn't be here but for that Skyline name, and it kicked it to the curb, in order to increase sales.

Sure, the GT-R maybe a world beater, but I'm saying, it's a disgrace to the title of GT-R, without that Skyline lineage behind it. I think the Skyline name deserves that.

siggy says it all, I'd take a BNR32 over an R35 hands down ANY day of the week. Im close to the R32 though.

I dunno man, I've been in one several times at let me tell you I think it lives up to the GTR label. It may not be called a Skyline but essentially that's because it isn't, therefore it can't really be a disgrace.

The Skyline label is for a variety of different trim levels the lowest being a natural aspirated family sedan - and the highest being a GTR.

The GTR has always been about using as much technology as possible, and in this sense I think the R35 does well. It may not have the RB engine, but it has a Front Mid-ship V6, which actually is better for handling purposes because there is less weight over the front axle.

I think you would retract your statement after going for a rip in an R35 in R mode.

I would take an R34 over an R35 simply because the 34 is much harder to a quire in NA.

But sadly if somebody offered me an R35 for my 32 I'd for sure trade it haha... I mean if I regretted it I could just sell the R35 and buy 4 R32s

I totally agree with you on the R35's. But i don't agree with " our lowly R32's and 33"s " Now do you consider this statement as "Respect" to the Skylines?
