lol for exhaust all you really need is to keep the db's low and if u live in a carb state have a cat... thats all =p there aren't many laws in the US regarding tuning atleast that i know of... well... considering that i live in cali... we dont' have much of a choice... we only buy carb legal products... and that keeps us from cop harrasment... since all we need to do is show them the sticker... and they'll be off my case for about a month...

The next GT-R will not be an R35. Unfortunately the R chassis is dead. :(

btw, there are more difference between VG and VQ(as one was designed to replace another). VG were cast iron block while VQ are all aluminum. VQ are all oversquare engine, as in they have larger bore than stroke, aiding the engine response characteristic, VQ also were all throttle by wire. Also a key dimentional and design difference is that VG is 90 degree V angle, while VQ is 60, the main reason for the narrower angle is to allow the easy application of mounting it both transversely for FWD application(a la Altima, Maxima...etc), and mount it longitudinally(a la Inifiniti G35, 350Z...etc). VQ are available(including JDM spec) in VQ20, VQ25, VQ30, VQ35, in DE(35 and older 20 and 30), DD(the direct injection, in 25 and 30) and DET(in 30) form. While currently in JGTC, the Nissan Z GTR in the GT500 class in 2004, and the last Skyline GTR GT500 in 2003 were powered by a VQ30DETT race motor....

Well at least with the V chasis you can buy new Skylines or Fairlady Z's with warranty and everything out the door, plus I never liked the R's anyway, except the R30 and R31. I think the V35 looks nicer and more 'grown up' than the R34. And if you want ATESSA AWD, you can get it on the automatic sedan. Better than nothing. But the Skyline has moved up a notch on the luxury ladder anyways, the Z is the way to go. Same chasis, more powerful engine, lighter, and cheaper.
BTW chances are the next GT-R will be the V36... and unfortunately, since our Skyline's an Infiniti, we probably won't get it :(

Wow you are the first person I've met that hasn't liked the R34. I saw my first one in person a couple weeks ago, it was a thing of beauty. Gun metal grey and absolutely mean looking.
