ok, if you want to play that game.. The chassis code for the G35 6 speed Coupe is "V35"... and yes, you are right, it is BADGED as a skyline in Asia...
But Around ANYONE Who has been following Nissan does NOT conider the Car a Skyline in ANY constraints.
V35 Vs R34
VQ35DE Vs RB25DET/RB26DET/RB26DETT
FR VS FR/AWD
etc etc.. it dosent add up to the R32 even..
and im sorry, you are 100% right, it is a front midship, i skimmed through and missed the Front infront of Midship..

But it IS the Skyline GT. If you "follow Nissan" or not, that's what kind of car it is, a Nissan Skyline GT.

I just can't beleive the G35 is the new skyline... I mean damn, it's just not skyline worthy in my humble opinion.

no, its a rebadged G35.. it carrys nothing of the skyline name.. engine/interror/handeling/drive system/no AWD..
the ONLY thing it has that the Skylines have.. are the Brembo's..

Skylines Carry the R series Chassis's... The G35 has a V series chassis.

you know... randomly violent people are also often accused of having small cocks.

at no point in reality should a heavily modified civic be as fast as an equally modified RX7, supra etc...
(case in point... i beat NFSu2 from start to finish with a focus)
speaking of that, a drifting competition should be entirely impossible to win with a front wheel drive car.
the nitro blur crap-effect you speak of is simply fast and the furious nonsense.
so far GT4 hass the only pleasing application of N20 i've seen in a game (although i hate that Gt4 has giggle gas at all... but i digress) nitrous just gives your car a bit more horsepower... it does not turn a 2.0L 4cyl into an afterburning jet engine.
the bare bones of its suckyness boils down to this: the game is cheesey, entirely removed from reality, repetitive and alltogether just plain bad.
its one of those games i decided to beat just out of spite, and I felt like giving it a fair shake... rather than make a harsh judgement about it being pure trash after only playing the first level.
Sorry I disagree completely.
A: a civic does not compare to a Skyline in terms of performance with the same performance mods on the car. I know this for a fact because I actualy played the game and in no fucking circumstance will anyone ever beat me in a civic if I don't have an accident and neither does the other guy, no matter how good he is, the skyline is just faster, along with pretty much every other car.
B: it is possible to mod even a normal civic or other car to pretty high HP capabilities. I've seen a modded Tiburon 4 cylinder beta engine with 400hp. (beta is the name of their 4 cylinder engines not that it's a beta...)
So the idea that it's impossible is wrong, you can get good HP out of a 4 banger and the reason they made it that way is for playability too. In case of drifts yeah, I somewhat agree but I'll also say that it's WAY easier to win a drift race in a RWD car than a FWD car and I can get higher scores with a RWD car so again the physics are there.
As for repetetive.... I mean cmon it's a fucking racing game exactly what part of a racing game isn't repetetive?
i played with the focus, rx7, and 350z and in circuit testing, they were all running within 1-2 seconds of eachother... basically every car is pretty much the same.
and yes, there is a difference between the handling of FWD, RWD, and AWD... but drivetrain asside... its pretty hard to tell the difference between any of the cars.
the cars have the individual personality of a 70 yr old history teacher.

You don't think 1-2 seconds a lap is big?

Also I have to say that yea obviously they aren't all realisitic in terms of performance but hell it's not even meant to be a realistic racing game. It's obviously arcadish and in order to apeal to the game fans you want them to be able to take the car THEY want and use it if they want to, why not? It's not like the game is realistic in any way, ever hit head on at 300km/h and keep going?
I think you're judging this game on things it was never meant to be. It's not trying to be a sim like GT4.

not considering the cars in question.
and the fact that my testing was run by a human... and i didn't do thousands of laps to normalize the data. 1-2 seconds can be pretty much considered irrelevant.
and there is a difference between being an "arcade racing game" and having bland retarded car performance.
even in Cruisin' USA the cars act different, and some are obviously faster than others. and that game is definately the most arcadeish racing game i can think of off the top of my head.
i never went into the game expecting high quality, considering its targeted to 16 yr old rice boys who want to put stickers and a roof scoop on a yellow and snot green honda... but christ, if they're going to put more than 3 cars in the game they should pretend that they each have some sort of individual characteristics.
i guess they figure that the parts you buy modify the cars so heavily that they are all the exact same car with just different vynal bits stuck to them.
but hey, at least you can put beats in the trunk. :icon14:

i cant wait, But i think that they are going to remove the RB and power the skyline with the VQ... the ATTESSA and hicas system will still remain in tact.. But this is going to hurt..
Hopyfully Canada will finally get some SR lovin in the S chassis.. 240/200/silvia alike.
