We got interal news from Nissan, they stopped to produce new GTR due to the high cost to meet new mission regulation.

What exactly is going on with Nissan??? I know that the new Skyline G35 or V35 whatever is a 3.5 V6 non-turbo version. Basically a larger size version of the 350Z. The last true Skyline is the R34 series. The 35 has moved away from that turbo range and now it's no longer in production? I can't say anymore but mention that my disappointment towards Nissan is mounting greatly!
So let's all hail the last of the true race cars the R34!

Firstly, it's emissions, and not mission.Partfromjapan said:
Secondly, I don't think anyone who works for a car company is aloud to share the news and information they are prone to get from inside communication - there is a law against this. Most major car companies (which would include Nissan, as they are major) have ways of checking if employees have been telling information, and the obvious consequence is that the competition can use this information and you can be sacked. It's easy to spot people doing this - I can sometimes tell on certain forums if my friend is posting a thread by looking at his or her name, the standard of English (although this doesn't matter in your case, as your from Japan), etc. Also, most people who are working on a supercar/sports car in a team surf the enthusiast community sites.
Thirdly, I don't think there is a high cost to meet the emissions regulations. Nissan went with the V6 engines for a lot of important reasons, and one reason, or just a bonus, was the low emissions it emitted.
The GT-R version of the V35 is meant to be turbo'd - this is an accepted fact of what we know of the next GT-R (the team has stated this in interviews).
You are referring to a canary trap, and it is quite easily bypassed if you know what you are doing, and use the information as ambiguously as possible. The VQ series of engines may well have a good emissions output, however the reason RB production was ceased was entirely down to emissions regs, principally I believe in America where Nissan knew it would have to crack the market to make any new sportscars viable.
To the best of my knowledge the only things the design team behind the new GTR have said is that it will have a nissan badge and be a worthy alternative to the likes of Porsche et al. The design, engine and most other parts are yet to be set in concrete. There have been strong hints that it will have a newer version of Attessa, and possible electrically assisted turbocharging as well as many other things, but as yet nothing "Offcial" has been declared as fact.

So will we see a public press release from Nissan?Partfromjapan said:
God I hate these emissions laws - they are just too strict in Japan and USA (USA definately), and kill of anything good (2JZ-GTE, RB26DETT, although there were probably a few other factors that killed of these engines).
Not forgetting that even Noble can make a TT V6 that can pass emissions (TT'd version of the Ford Mondeo engine/development project). But then I don't think this car is sold in Japan OR America.
If it would not pass emissions they would not have spent a lot of money designing a car around this engine they would simply use something else. After all the designers of these cars have to be some of the best in the world, they would not make mistakes like this.
When jaguar failed to meet emmisions with there XJ220 they simply opted for a smaller turbo engine. It is more likely that they have made a deliberate slip to drum up more support for the car, in the press etc or its just made up by somebody like Mycroft.

Interesting... the current issue of Holiday Car magazine in Japan appears to talk about the next GT-R being released at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2007. Didn't see anything indicating its being cancelled. More speculation without hard facts, I guess.
