6G Celicas Forums

Hi guys!
I know this is probably a bit of topic but I just wanted to share some of my emotions with you. I'm visiting Hong Kong this week and have made friends with several guys in the tuning business.
I had a chance to see and ride in the new Skyline GTR. All I can say is this car is a real monster. It's still in it's break in and only has 1500 km on the dial so the owner doesn't push it yet. But it is a real beast even at 3K RPM. The handling is amazing! It feels like a tram on tracks going into corners.

And a few fotos of this great car and me





I still love my gt-four, but wouldn't mind to have a GTR as a second car

haha is that a purse? x)

lol thats a seriously awesome car.. my friends dad is now gonna get this instead of the corvette he was wanting before.
You are so lucky to have been able to ride in it, I envy you

This is definatley off-topic. I think he's holding the purse for the camera person. Well, atleast I hope thats what he's doing.

Does the new GTR come with a manual transmission, or does all of them come with the 7 speed peddle shifter?

its automatic??!?..i would hope they come aviable with a 6 speed...or a 5 speed at the very least?

nope no 6speed.

1. its not an auto , its a dual clutch trans.
2. its gtr, not skyline
3. nice purse, you worry me(JK)


nice car yo...have fun in hong kong

It's a SKYLINE GTR

:read: don't argue

But, all of us car enthusiast know that its a skyline. Just like the new lexus FX what ever. Thats the Supra.

lol@purse thats awesome

pictures do this car no justice at all. you really have to see it in person. its incredible.

skyline gtr.

that's an infiniti g39 gtr. wtf is the difference skyline or not. big deal. still awesome.

it is NO LONGER A SKYLINE nissan has already made that clear its now called the nissan r35 gtr if you get turbo mag like i do then they did a full write up on it and it was on the cover obviously as far as the transmission goes here is what it says word for word.....the layout and feeling of the full sequential manual control and steering wheel mounted paddel shifters feels really good. the transmission setup on the gtr has a dual clutch design that changes the gears in less than a second and decreeses the work for the driver...thats all they really get into about it

I've seen it in person at a car show last week. That thing is amazing. I was shocked when I saw that is was a right hand drive. So are they actually producing these in the US?

no Nissan isn't releasing it in the us....they just like to write on their website
"coming soon to the U.S.A" for shvits and giggles

can you not read?

not a skyline, try READING nissans website....dang people dense

you have no idea...lol

stop lieing. its an infinity gt380!

i thought it was supra gtr?

agree w/ everyone else here. its not called a skyline. simply a nissan gtr.

haha cant wait to drive the US version this summer

my uncle is buying one!!!!!
