From pics I've seen of the Japanese version, that's actually a pouch or slim storage compartment.

There have been some things that are confusing me over this since a few magazine article's i've read are saying that the G35 is the new Skyline, yet this thing looks nothing like a skyline....
There is no R35 GT-R. "R34" was the deignation for the previous Skyline, and sequentially "R33" and "R32" came before it, so many prople are assuming the new one is an "R35." In fact, Nissan seems to be happy calling it "V35," but another point that lends to the confusion is the numeric "35" which seems to come as the next in line from the 32, 33, 34, but really it's being used as representative of the engine displacement (3.5L).

The GT-R nomenclature is currently suspended as well. Nissan Japan is still selling out the last of the R34 GT-Rs, but they have said that GT-R production will lapse for a few years. Perhaps there will be a triumphant return... () ...but we'll have to wait and see.

If you want more evidence that the G35 is the equivalent of the new Japanese Skyline, just take a peek at theirs:

Nice pics! That thing is going to sell like hotcakes!!!
