not just the Z car...but also the skyline for 2003...rumored to be running a twin turbo version of the 3.5L engine which the Zcar and the 2002 max share....does that mean twin turbo motor that will fit in the 5th gen and newer maxes.....

Don't get too excited. Infiniti will be bringing over the Skyline sedan, not the Skyline GT-R which I think you're thinking of.

It'll be introduced in North America as the Infiniti G35. HP will probably be somewhere between 215 and 280 with a possible choice of two different engines. The Skyline sedans don't get the twin-turbo dream engine of the GT-R, so we won't be seeing that any year soon. It'll probably have true multilink suspension like the new Z car. It'll also go up against the Lexus IS300 and BMW 3-series.

While not a GT-R, the Skyline sedan is still a nice little luxury sports sedan.

damn....

that sucks....never have i had all my hopes of seeing nissans most proud car in japan comin to the US crushed all at once....well...i can still dream..heh...thanks for the clarification by the way...although it is quite disappointing that even though all the other companies are releasing a 2003 model sports car....all the companies are putting there best up to bat..yet nissan continues to put in their second best only. Even honda is puttin in their NSX which would run about 100k....
