Neat. I'm looking forward to seeing this car. Just sad it won't come with a clutch pedal - but it is of no concern to me as I don't see myself ever owning one. I may end up back in the UK and will hunt down an R32 GTR if that happens. The R33 is my fav looks-wise, but I think the money savings of a R32 would make it more fun - and I love the boxy shape.

True I have never driven one, but I have owned 4x 300ZXs (2 turbo) and a few other Nissans over the years - I like their spirit. If a Z31 Turbo can be as much fun as it is - I cannot imagine an R32 GTR being a letdown! I can imagine though that it's one of those cars you need to dig your heels into in order to see it's true colors... I wants it.

I had a dream that I owned a charcoal grey R34, the VSPEC II model... I was so disappointed when I woke up (when my annoying *** alarm work me up! )

*sigh* For once, I kinda wish I lived in Canada for the sole purpose of owning an R34... What am I saying?! CANADA? I'd have to sell all of my guns and cut off my handhood? F' that, no car is worth that...

But seriously, I really long for an R34... I've seen 2 of them in the bay area, a blue one with stock anthricite wheels, and a white one with aftermarket gold wheels (couldn't tell what they were since they were driving when I saw it, but were probably Volks, had a similar pattern to the TE-37s)... Too bad I'll never own one.

Oh, and I agree with someone said, the R32 is pretty disappointing... I road in a modified one like 5 years ago (didn't drive it, just road in it) and this one was modded to have way more HP than stock, the owner claimed it had about 350 wheel HP, but who knows if he was telling the accurate truth. The car felt very "cheap" and outdated inside, and the power wasn't really that great... it was kind of "notchy" to describe it best, but that could have been his clutch (had some weird clutch on it). Anyway, yeah, I expected way more... When I road in an R33 that modified I was in love with that car... simply awesome! I can't imagine what the R34 is like when heavily modded... ******

The white one looks like SHEEET! Ug, why does it remind me of a new-age mustang? Also, does it look high to anyone else? Something just seems off on the white one that you can't really see with the other colors.

Maybe if you lowered it and added better wheels/tires it would look much better... Anyone with me on this, or am I the only one that sees how awkward it looks?

The back profile does kinda remind me of a new stang, but the front reminds me of the newer Ecpise Ralliart concept...

Holy crap! I've never seen that car before, and holy hell does it look like a skyline! If they woul have made it anymore similar it would have been patened crime for stealing a design! (That rhymed)!

And that Eclipse is from back in 2005 (SEMA). Why Nissan would steal the design of one of Mitsu's ugliest cars of all time when the previous Skyline concepts looked so much better is beyond me.

all this pics in this thread (the car companies) copied Audi/VW's blacked out pignose/blacked out train grill whatever you want to call it.

I was happy with them making a g35 or even a 350Z into the new skyline.
