By that reasoning, the latest Skyline isn't a Skyline? The GT35 is the VQ engine. I have heard people also say that it has to be right hand drive to be a Skyline. I think the only thing that makes a Skyline a Skyline is Nissan actually calling it a Skyline. Power plant and drive side have little to do with the name the manufacturer places on the car. By the same way of thinking, if you put a RB engine in your car it does not become a Skyline, just a car with a RB engine. Do you agree?

Everything I have read from Nissan says that the new GTR is just that, the new GTR. No press releases have stated the new "Skyline GTR". They do say it is a call back to the Skyline GTR but they do not call it that. Just the GTR.

The magazines are the only ones calling it the new Skyline (probably because it gets y'all to buy the mag) but Nissan is not.
