OMG you guys.... all these are old news
1) Thats the same 2006 Skyline (G35)
2) Japan doesn't have the crash safety set as high as North America, so the bumper (front and back) can be a bit different than the ones we have here. It was noticed on the 2003 and 2003.5 that the rear bumper in Japan for the sedans are not as HUGE as the ones in US.
3) Paddles Shifters are for the 350 GT-8 trim which is essentially a G35 with centroid CVT which they can (sort of) change gears (8 gears in total). The technology is a first for Nissan and it was introduced even before they introduce the G in 2003 to North Americans.
4) Most people are still confusing Regular Skyline and the Skyline GTR. The Skyline GTR is the highest performance trim with ATTESA-ETS(4wd), RB26TT engine, rear active steer (it was on the R32 but not sure about the others)
They now changed this model to be on its own and they will call it Nissan GTR from now on.
The Skyline (G35) we own right now is the real thing in Japan. Often people think we are pathetic for calling G35 as Skyline but they didn't get their facts straight. So I think all you owners should at least know this and not make a fool out of yourselves.
5) So far, don't see anything about the new 2008 model or any changes. It is the same old Skyline website. Nothing changed. I visit the website a lot so I don't see any news about a new model or leaking any information out.

Do a little research, son.
www.GTRclub.org
And I'll confirm from my "insider" knowledge that the 07 will simply have some consmetic updates and a few extra "goodies". Lookms like the 3.7 AND the full restyling is going to be intro'ed in 08.

I'd be pissed if I were the guy who bought an '07 with a 3.5 only for them to come out with the 3.7 in '08... interested in what these apparent "goodies" will be... Infiniti is going to need more than cosmetic updates and catch up goodies to face off against the likes of the IS350.

tODAY IT'S A 3.13- Man they can't make up their mind. They had better put a turbo on it to make up for the lack of displacement.
