V35 Skyline

The Twilight of the Skylines...

When production ended in 2002 Nissan dropped the sedan / coupe 'look' that had been developing in the R31 thru to the R34 and changed the design and emphasis radically.
The engine shifted from an Straight 6 to a V6 and the bodywork became much uglier and box-like.
Known as the Nissan 350Z or V35 it's a shadow compared to the previous incarnations yet sometimes called the 'skyline' by enthusiastic dealers but the reality is it isn't considered one by most owners or tuners.

Japanese tuners practically ignore the V35 'Skyline', and instead concentrate on the R33 and R34 models.
