Once again you need to check up on what your talking about before you open your mouth
not the same car, the G35 is like a 350GT w/a specific package, including LHD and Infiniti G35 branding. is a 5AT the same as 6MT or a Nismo the same as a non? nope, it is what Nissan made it, an Infiniti G35

think of it this way, in japan they have a Spec V R35, in the US we have a Black Edition, similar but not the same, but you don't see US GTR owners rocking Spec V badges

no it is what they branded it for the areas they sell it in like the acura NSX in America was a Honda Nsx in Japan, still the same exact car with diff badging, like the Toyota Altezza in Japan what was it here? oh thats right the Lexus IS300 nonce again same exact car different names. the Skyline was never allowed here till the newest version that came out a couple years ago but the V35 skyline Platform was the first one brought to the U.S in the form of G35, left hand drive has nothing to do with it except that's what you get in japan

nope, the R35 is no longer a Skyline it's a stand alone platform. don't bother trying to explain the history of Skylines to me, i lived in Japan and had an R33. it's a matter of accepting what you have. you're in the US, you drive a G35. if the where EXACTLY the same, they'd be Skyline 350GT's but they're not, they're G35's.

yeah, i was busy laughing at you thinking the R35 was a skyline. buy the time i finished my post, you had already learned your lesson. i understand people like JDM stuff, i'm all for it. yes, the G35 has a skyline heritage, but here in the US it's a G35. do you read comic books? it's like Superman and Bizzaro, although similar, Bizzaro is Bizzaro and NOT Superman.

But when the only difference is the name, doesn't change it, it's still what it is, which is the same exact car other then being left hand and right hand drive differences
