V35

The 11th generation (V35) Nissan Skyline, introduced in June 2001, is based on Nissan's FM platform, which is shared with the 350Z. The Nissan Skyline uses a front-midship engine (VQ35DE), rear-wheel drive layout (all-wheel drive is available for the sedan) to achieve a 52%/48% weight distribution. The V35 also marks the first generation of Skyline made for export to the United States. There it is sold under the company's luxury brand, Infiniti, as the Infiniti G35.

The V35 marks a major turning point for the Skyline. There is no straight 6, no turbo variant, and to date no GT-R variant. Nissan put a slightly more powerful VQ35DE in the 350Z, and although the Skyline & the 350Z share the same platform, the 350Z has additional bracing, underbody aero parts, and weighs 100 kg less.[9] Keiichi Tsuchiya said of the V35 "This is a Cefiro!". Most Japanese tuners have studiously ignored the V35 Skyline, the 2006 Tsukuba Super Lap Battle had not a single V35 entrant.[10] Tuners such as Mines, Amuse, Hosaka, Garage Defend, M Speed, Nagisa, MCR, HKS, & Top Secret continue developing R32-R34 GT-Rs. Top Secret did tune a V35, but they replaced the VQ35DE with a VK45DE V8 Twin Turbo.[11] Signal USA entered a V35 in Formula D, replacing the VQ35DE with an SR20DET.[12] In contrast, US shops such as VRT have had success with forced induction VQ35DEs as seen in their track footage. Sites such as 6mt.net, G35Frenzy.com, and G35Driver.com have increased the popularity of tuned V35s.

V36

The 12th generation Skyline appeared on 20 November 2006.[13]

At this stage it is only available in Japan as a 4-door saloon. It is equipped with either a VQ25DE 2.5l V6 producing 165Kw or an VQ35DE 3.5l V6 with 232Kw. The 2.5l is available as a 4-wheel drive variant as well. At this stage it is only available with an Automatic transmission.

Models:

* 250GT - 2.5 L VQ25HR V6, 220 hp (165 kW, 263Nm)
* 250GT FOUR - 2.5 L VQ25HR V6, 220 hp (165 kW, 263Nm)
* 350GT - 3.5 L VQ35HR V6, 310 hp (232 kW, 358Nm)

Ya, the V version isn't the one that people want compare to a R version. And it is more expensive too. hehe. but having a "fairlady platform" in a "skyline", a 2 in 1? ahahaha...
