Hmmm...is this real? I know they were supposed to start labeling the G35 as it was in Japan (as the Skyline) but I didn't know they already had. Is this an actual find or not?

i guess it is a find, but there's a white one up by me, it's not really hard to just change the name plates from infiniti to skyline, and put 350gt on it. was it lhd or rhd.
rhd would my guess make it more like a real skyline but still no turbo's make that conversion seem like it would b easy(in comparison to other conversions)

It wasn't just the name plates though. It looked a bit different...had a different spoiler and the front end was completely different. It was lhd though. I dunno. It was cool whatever it was.

Badged Infinity G35 Coupe... People like that should go ahead and fucking die...

It wasn't badged. It looked completely different, front and back.

ok, so then to put it as bluntly as possible, as like many people and their honda's, this guy took nameplates off a different car plopped it on his, bought a bodykit for a skyline installed it on his g35, and bought a skyline v35 spoiler off ebay or at the local nissan dealer, and decided to make u think it was something that it wasnt.
lhd kinda gives it away that all it is is a modded g35, a person with a v35 wouldnt convert rhd to lhd

Amen, brother.

Looks can be deceiving...
If you really want to find out, should've stalked the guy 'till he came to a stop somewhere, and write down his VIN number, then run that number somewhere... :grinno:

that looks pretty similar to the g35 coupes we have up here...

yea i think the spoiler is an part of a performance package or something like that, i was at infiniti the other day(their net site) it said perf package, but didnt tell u wat it was, other than body enhancing items

you can buy them from ebay. i see alot of G35s with those. the skyline has different wing.

G35s are nice cars.... but They are just 350Z 2+2s, to me.

Exactly, and looking at the price tag on both, I'd still rather have the 350Z, than the G35... To me the Z looks better anyway.

ehh. i'd take a Z, kinda cuase it's more of a legend with the letter "Z"
oh and arent they uping the power on the Z too, or was that a rumor
to me a g35 is different than a "Z", it's the man who lives in Manhatten car, whereas the z is for people who know what it's like to have fun driving a car and hearing the road and the engine

They're upping the power on the "G35", too. It's no longer going to be the G35...it's going to be the G37. It's getting a 3.7L VQ with an estimated 330hp. Infiniti (or is it infinity...well...whatever...) sent me an email about the unveiling of that and their new MX concept (I think it was called) and they both looked great. Just wonder when the "350Z" will become the "370Z"...has a nice ring to it...and I wonder what power they'll give the Z with that engine...350hp? Maybe more? Hmmm...........

i read somewhere that they were going to bring the 350z power up to 350 and make awd an option. i'd take the power but prefer the rwd, i already have an awd car, i wanna enjoy donuts in the parking lot

it is not a badged G35, I saw a black one on TX, and a silver one on a NISSAN dealership also in TX.. how it got there? dont know..

well i was gonna go to NHTSA and check out if they were leagle imports, but that page is down for some reason. neway, doubt it is a real nissan skyline. it would seem stupid to bring that in for much more than it costs to go to an infiniti dealer and buy a g35, and kit it

Spending that much money is no more stupid than badging a G35 to be a poser. I know you all think it's just badged but I REALLY doubt it. I was driving down the freeway so I couldn't get a pic of the front of it, but it was COMPLETELY different. Not just a body kit, either...the whole front end was different.

I agree with you longlivetheZ, I saw two and they're way diff than the regular G35 Infiniti

importing thte skyline from japan wouldnt b as much as trying to import the r34, the skyline v35 and g35 are pretty much the same car, emissions are the only things that have to b changed.
however i did come across something of interest...if either canada or mexico the the nissan skyline, then someone can fly there, but the car, slap on the g35 badge, then when they get back to the USA put the skyline badge back on it.
i was also thinking, maybe nissan is bringing them over badged as a skyline instead of a g35 to make more wonder as to wat a skyline is, u know publicity, for maybe better sales on thte gtr in 08(cant fricken wait)

I'd been hearing talk of the G35 = Skyline in america for quite some time now. Been that way in Japan for a long time, I think. I dunno what they're doing, though.

the g35 is a skyline in japan, it equal to the v35 or something like that. that's y i dont get y the nissan gtr is going to b called the r35, but not b based on nething else in the nissan "stable".
neway i doubt that all of a sudden nissan agreed to bring the skyline in, and i doubt that people were all like," i want something fancy and different, i'll get a nissan skyline, yea that's it, something only half this country has heard of"

o and as for these car's looking different, well here's a possibility, does anyone know what the g37 looks like?
