@Wilson This is common for many older (50's -80's) Japanese cars. For safety reasons government regulations required rearview mirrors to be visible through the front windshield within the area that the windshield wipers swipe.
All old domestic Japanese cars had mirrors on the hood like that. I wish they were still like that, its easier to glance down at the hood than it is to turn all the way to the doors.
my favourite car ever.from r32 to r35.japanese cars for life.who cares about german cars???

Didn't mitsubishi also make us bomber engines for WW2 correct me if I am wrong
Probably a separate division under Mitsubishi. Or the company had another name back then.
Description: In those days it displaced 2.0-liters and produced 160 horsepower. That might not sound like much, especially compared to the current GT-R, but it was nearly double the power of the standard Skyline. ...

I drove an r32, one of the coollest things iv ever done, I asked the guy how he got it and he wouldnt give any details
Japs used to copy the shapes of euro and american cars! such as this one. they also copied an E type jag and etc. its a fact!
i think thats cause the GTR has more high tech computers and sensors in it than two xboxs can even come close too lol and they cant just "make" it handle well if they want to keep theyre phisics realistic. the xbox hardware cant keep up. try stiffening the rear. oversteer > understeer (sometimes)
lol fm i'm a gt5 guy got the peugeot race car on the n�rburgring 24 hours with my b-spec drivers
Every single performance part or copy other people's setups from various forums... If you know how to drive this thing, not a lot can keep up when the twisty stuff starts... If you MUST modify, shed weight / better tires IMO
The R35 is plenty quick and agile in FM4. You just need a decent steering wheel setup and know how to drive (in FM4) and at least a understanding of what a GTR is compared to traditional 4WD car. Give the stock setup a while before you "expertly" buy
Skylines are good enough in FM4, except maybe the GTR which is not as quick and as agile as in real life. The real problem is that AWD cars are over-rated because of their PI which is too high compared to their real performances.
idk what your talking about, maybe its ur tuning, i have a really quick r32 in a class and and sweet r35 in s class, my problem is there handling is horrible really gotta spend some time tuning the suspension
I don't think so I think the r34 and r35 are fine. I haven't driven the others much though
Speaking o Forza, they made all the GTRs, especially the new one, very slow

My personal fav. I got a chance to drive one in Kansas city years ago. A tuner shop imported it and was making it into their drag car. As a preferred customer I asked to drive it and that trip around the block was epic.
This is my favorite skyline also. This was also the canvas for the Nismo 400R, and everyone knows that thing sucked. Lol. (;
They didn't even give the R35 a manual transmission... That's just not right
Scott your exactly right, the new GT-R is NOT a skyline, not even the same blood line. The new one is driven by the EXTREMELY intrusive ecu...not the person behind the wheel.
@ will. Not to sound anal or anything but the new gtr is not a skyline so you can't be throwing the r35 badge around all willy nilly. Lol but yea it's a Nissan gtr and nothing else
Sweet looking thing ! Japanese cars from the middle 90's are still so sexy ! The R33 and the Supra are my favorites !
gtr awd stystem is basically rwd with on demand 4wd, when ur driving its rwd till its senses wheel slip or a need for better grip and transfers power as needed
mainly looks, the performance almost remained the same, changes included a little more hp and upgrades to the awd system. the awd system in the r33 was changed from the 32 and wasent as good so they started over from the r32 system and enginered the crap out of it and thats why the R34 awd system is so perfect, some even consider it still more superior to the current R35 system
QUESTION: what's the difference between R32, R33, & R34? (I don't know to much about the GT-R's history)
im with oscar, i hate the looks and the R32 and R34 hade better performance then the R33.. but in the end its still a gtr
I'm not a fan of the R33. it fell really short when compared to the R32 and R34. it was just not the same. but that's my opinion lol.
Love u baby it's that sexy blue OMG I just fell drop trip n fell in love again ...lol
Shut up Shane... If u think this is boxy, go look at any American car and reconsider that thought... And stop being so ignorant
I wouldn't say i get a bonner :p but my heart beats go crazy in about a millisecond when i see a sexy car. Just by the thought imagining myself driving a fast car my adrenaline goes mad. Which is similar in case of spotting a hotty :p
i dont get bonners but do flip shit like a kid on christmas that got everything they asked for, remember the first time i saw an R34, i pulled a u turn instantly cause i couldent believe my eyes, fallowed him to a wawa and asked him about the car, offered me a ride.... he went on the parkway, top moment of my life will never forget it, probally the reason why i preffer jap cars since that was my f...
(I love american cars) But I can hardly think of anything to come from the states during the R34's era that can top it. So if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna keep my boner out.
So much want right here. Don't care if I find a GT-R or not I just want a R34. Especially in this color
@bruce. in a straight line maybe but when it comes to the turns there awd system just cant compete with the gtrs awd system, simply the best there is and was at its best when they did the update for the R34. loved the r34 since i first saw it, my dream car rite there screw anyother car in the world this is first second and third pick. white, blue and black in that order
Gotta respect the car for what's its done, but it also attracted a lot of unwanted attention to the automotive world.
This is my ultimate dream car. I hate the U.S because they wouldn't import them over stupid issues with EPA and other BS. R34 is by far one of the most legendary cars of that era & still is today!
Bruce they'd go faster against an r34 but not r35 because of its ecu engineering
My favorite body style out of all the skylines id kill to get my hands on one
Ever since I was a little kid and first saw this car in 2 fast 2 furious, I've loved it ever s
QUESTION: if you gave the WRX Sti & the EVOLUTION the same hp & torque as Godzilla(the GT-R) would they be quicker & faster?
Nothing beats the r34 that came from asia. This car Was and is simply awesome.
I've only seen the last ones in silver, the ones before that, I've only seen red.
If I'm not mistaken, the Nismo Z-Tune skylines were the only ones that were painted all the same color.
Nah, they also came in Bay Side blue, silver, black and this right here.
the gtr above this one, R34 in blue is actually a nur spec gtr notice the vent on the hood
abraham is correct there would be a little vent in the hood if it was nur spec

Thats the reason why its never a good idea to swap the RB into anything but a GTR. It just ruins the weight and balance of a car

@Andrew yeah there is. If you set some of the race settings to certain points. It become rwd
Im in texas iv seen two in person an r34 and an r32 both inmpounded for racing and cant even leave the where house with out paperwork for crushing or exporting, and the 32 left last wednesday
Phillip they aren't too rare. I almost bought a gts-t with the RB26 for $7500 a few months ago. These are quite common depending on where you're at
Yeah so get an ultra rare car and then get an even rarer car and sawp there guts? No sorry iv driven a r32 nismo and if it were mine I wouldnt do anything to it
I think I've heard that there's a setting on the new R35's to make it RWD. Not sure though
because the single Turbo rb25det isn't quite as powerful as the rb26dett
Why build a RWD GTR when you could just save the extra dough and buy a GTS instead?

Im just screwin with them its a rebadge so I guess rebaging is only cool when it makes your car seem cooler then it is
Exactly, I just got a G35 Coupe and people don't believe me when I tell them it's actually a skyline.
Why photoshopped picture?! Carbuzz google skyline gtr and you will get enough real one lol
also in some countrys your required to have plates on your car regardless if its road legal or not
Strange every R/T I have seen didn't have TT, they must have been badge racers. I didn't realize the Stealth got all the good stuff, good for Dodge.
Turbo and it has AWD.
Phillip there are 3 engines types for the 3000GT and the Stealth... V6 SOHC, V6 DOHC, and V6 DOHC Twin Turbo, all the same engine. The only difference between the 3000GT and Stealth is purely cosmetic. I would know, I own a Dodge Stealth RT Twin
yea phillip look up the stealth R/t its just a 3000gt vr-4 with different badge
@Phillip, actually there is a version of the stealth that has the twin turbo engine.
Well they didn't include a pic of the V35 Skyline. Guess they didn't want to give away that it is just badged as an Infiniti here.
And the Infiniti G series was a Skyline, it just never got the good engines either.
The Stealth was sold as a Dodge and it was a dog because it never got the 3000GT's turbo engine. All it ever had was the NA 6. The 3000GT VR4 was AWD and had a 310 HP (if I recall correctly) TT 6.
@Cameron Stock for stock the GTO VR4 beat the Skyline GTR by a nose... Under powered huh? Have some respect. http://t.co/B0mIkoM
You couldn't get them here due to EPA, but if they did ship them here they would have been detuned like a lot imports where back then. Namely, the M3 which was shipped here with 240hp and in Europe it had around 330hp.
Most of the Skylines that are here, probably drove here from Canada. The Skylines where sold in Japan, Australia, New Zealand and after 1997, in the UK and Canada.
Yeah the NSX was a little out of most tuners price range when it arrived beautiful car none the less though
NSX isn't a tuner icon. It's just an icon
We all know the nsx type r was the best handling jap car just watch best motoring and let tsuchiya tell you. Nsx icon is needed next
It was also called the 3000gt in America. Wells I couldn't agree more! The R35 is crap compared to the skyline gtr in my opinion
Cameron Lmfao I was gonna type something like that. But I didn't want start something
@Mikey, hey thanks for reminding me!
@Aaron 3000gt is a dog. Labeled as a stealth r/t in America. It's a pig and under powered the GT-R is a legend and still proves to be to this day. If we talk Japanese cars GT-R is the only one we should talk about.
The skyline GT-R was a great car, an awesome car but the GT-R (in my opinion) is just a big computer that makes anybody a fast driver...what happened to needing skills??
They didn't make it because of the crash standards and ALOT more. Long, confusing story.
gotta do the evo or sti next i'm not a fan of imports but that's one car i can respect
Skyline is 1 of Japanese best track and road car all time !
Hey CarBuzz just a little reminder, today's the Corvette's Birthday!
@chris you would be correct
Omg now a skyline!? I love these tuner icons!!
About time carbuzz lol
Why wasn't it sold in the US? Let me guess, emissions standards?
I love this car.
Uhh ohh. Here comes all the GTR fanboys...
I was expecting the GTR to be on the list sooner
3rd Nissan tuner icon? Alright CarBuzz time for a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4! Great article on the GTR though.
