If you own any of the Skylines in the previous "R" series and it's not a GT-R you probably don't talk about it (you don't see people bragging about their R32 GXi Type-X with the 91hp CA18i do you?). It's a lot like having the base model Lancer and bragging about your p.o.s. like it's an Evo.

Likewise, we don't have one of the "good" Skylines regardless of what you want to tell yourself.
I agree whole heartedly... When I think of "Skyline" I think of the R series... the car you had to work at to win in a video game.. and then it beat everybody! A G35 is the car given to you next to the 350Z at the begining of the game.

Don't get me wrong, I love my car (or wouldn't have spent so much fckn money on it.) but regardless of what Japan decided to call it... it does not perform (out of the box) anywhere near the R series or GTR.

I wasn't sure at first but.... the forum members have decided and spoken on re-badging a G35 as a https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-cou...skyline-3.html

I would take the opinion of a fellow G35 owner over someone that doesn't know **** about our cars..

Did you know that the Acura RL in the U.S. is the Honda Legend in japan? Just like the Acura TL is the Honda Inspire in Japan. Why don't we call the RL Legends anymore? 1995 was the last year the U.S. called that a Legend and called it RL. The G's are the Skyline and that what's sitting at the dealers in Japan.
'nuff said.

Both of the test drivers said the Skyline was "TOO FAST"
I don't know why Nissan called our cars Skyline even though it's clear the G35 is not in the same category

Infiniti G35 = 11th gen Nissan Skyline, the 350GT

The "real Skyline" (in regard to the 10th gen and previous with turbos and inline 6 and such) has been essentially ported over to the GTR line in Japan and elsewhere.

Why is this hard?

Here, let me Google that for you.

Wow I had to have a look at the date of this thread I thought it was from 2003. Calling it a skyline is gay weather it is the same as the JDM version or not. Please go tell me what your title or registration says...... Infiniti g35 and it is hilarious that if you see pictures of a V35 in Japan( the cars chassis code in japan or USA) they try to be USDM and badge them as G35s

^LOL, Epic battle since 2003, I didn't even notice.

My car came from the factory badged an Infiniti G35, and that is what it will stay. At the same time I don't care what other want to do to their ride.

But reality we are Infiniti G35s, by the original window sticker, the bill of sale, the title, the registration, the stitching on the seats, the emblem on the steering wheel, the emblem on the clock and all other accounts it is an Infiniti G35. Even the web site G35Driver....not Skyline 350GT Driver, in North America we ALL own G35s

y is this even an issue?

the skyline that everyone likes is the GT-R version anyway.

just as the lancer that everyone likes is the evo, not the reular. The regular lancers look like cheap compact sedans.
