your car, your opinion... who cares what people think...

 

Yah, and in Japan they don't have LHD.

I look at it like this: Nissan is the parent company, yes? And it had twins: the Skyline 350GT & Infiniti G35. They look the same for the most part, but have a few key differences. RHD/LHD, engine bay is a little different (battery is on the other side), some different options, etc.

Say you have "identical" twin kids. You're not going to interchange their names whenever you feel like it (or at least I hope not).

 

He said RHD...not RWD.

His post is fine as is. Our cars are not Right Hand Drive...

 

I agree completely, you paid for an infiniti, not a nissan, so rep infiniti...

 

i paid for a Nissan at infiniti price because us americans will pay extra for anything especially if luxury is added to the name. plus nissan doesnt have a sports 2 door car with 4 seats like the 240sx anymore or i would have got that instead. just about every where else in the world there is no infiniti, acura, or lexus....but americans will pay more for a honda, nissan, or toyota re-badged to luxury. i rebaged to nissan because i liked it personally and its different since not too many ppl do this. only things i havent done are the seats, clock, and steering wheel. do what you want its your car but do the whole outside at least if you do (ie. front and rear emblems plus tail lights.)

 

I think it looks waya cooler debadged than with skyline emblems. I shaved everything except the Fuji symbol off the back and it looks awesome.

 

i had that look for a while and i liked it too. just decided to go with the jdm theme and i like it too.

 

I agree, I was looking at a 350z but needed a back seat. Im just saying since us rich americans are willing to pay more, why not represent that we paid more... And ppl do that all the time, don't you see those fools riding around in their RSX with colored honda badges all over... Makes me hate honda more everytime I am forced to notice it!

 

+1 its rice

 

I say go for it. Back when I had my Lexus IS300, I switched all of my badges to Altezza (front grill, trunk badge, & wheel center caps). Most people thought I was crazy and would say "Why did you do that? It's such a nice car and plus it's a Lexus!". My reply was "I bought it because of the motor(2JZ-GE), not the name". Those that were really into cars and knew about it understood......and that's what mattered to me.

 

actaully what marcus said was right. RHD = Right Hand Drive which means thats the only way we can have an authentic 350GT over here in the states.

 

the Title and Registration say Infiniti... we own Infinitis

Some kid asked me if my car was a Skyline a few weeks ago... I told him no, its an Infiniti G35... why pretend to be a car you're not?

 

Its not pretending, my Gf is also doing the JDM to her Yaris = Vitz . just a fad i guess
i did it, all i have left to change is the engine cover, and the seats. as long as you go all the way and not half *** it, then dont do it.

I changed

Steering wheel,
Door Sills,
Wheel Emblems,
All Exterior Emblems,
clock
Floor mats i changed to rubber after market

 

are the japan guys putting infiniti emblems/parts on their cars? or is riding the jdm train jus a US thing?

 

What about getting a firewall with the steering column on the right side and the steering rack and all that....?
