stock trans... doesn't want AWD, he likes the RWD. His 3000GT is AWD... thats enough for him. The 240 is going to be strickly a summer car. No driving it the winters. Thats what the mitsu is for, lol along with my alero, but thats used mostly for the dogger

 

is there a mounting issue, or does it use the stock mounts, or perhaps someone offers a kit?

 

McKinney motorsports has a mount kit (must get kit to make motor fit right) It comes with two new mounts and a new driveshaft for $1100. After the mounts are in, the motor goes in nice and easy.

 

awesome....when is the intended date of completion?

 

Thats one badass car, personally I like the r34 as a car better than just the motor, its got an on board computer that shows everything... how cool is that, also the gyro scops on the wheels... thats an awd setup for you mother!!!!

 

has anyone here seen the 07 skyline set for U.S. sales? its supposed to be 400+HP AWD AWS 3.5 or 3.8l V6 TT but the pricetag is looking at $70k

 

i think that they are making a mistake pricing it like that, your "import scene people" typically arent going to be able to afford it. for instance, look at the popular tuner cars? with the exception of the evo, and the STi, what do your popular tuner cars have in common? a price tag under 30k...so theyre going to make an elitist tuner car??

also, i look forward to the engine, because they dont have a 3.8L V6 that i know of right now, and for a 3.5, woudl they be using the VQ35DE, but adding forced induction? that engine makes a crank output of 255/246, so running 12psi they could conceivably get their 400hp...

or are they going with a whole new drivetrain? the special that i watched on the tokyo auto show mentioned that they may even use a VK series engine, and boost that..but it is all speculation at this point.

 

I was told the Skyline was already here in the US just under the Infinity name...

 

wel, technically, yes it is...the infinti coupe (g35 i think) is the skyline in japan

 

the infiniti g35 here is the skyline gt350 over in japan
