I dont understand why certain people think that g35's who have the "skyline" emblem think that its rice because our cars are skylines. It's just that we have some changes because we're in the US so obviously we're not in japan. The ones who have the Nissan Emblem on their G35's probably think that they're only going jdm when at the same time they're downgrading their car. Just like others say, our cars are Infiniti's and yeah we're on the luxury side of nissan. Then again everyone has their own opinions so i respect that. I wouldn't see a problem with having the Mt Fuji Emblem with Skyline 350gt because our cars are skylines.
Some would think that it's rice just having the Skyline on but think about it, it would only look rice if the person had body kits all around that didnt match with each other or having huge "ss spoilers with a completely stock car.

i feel you dude.... it's just that our cars are skylines already so i wouldn't see a problem with putting skyline 350gt with the Mt Fuji Emblem. just like how some lexus owners who change their emblems to toyota or how acura owners change emblems to honda. you know what i mean? it's just that we're in the US so we have some changes in names and regulations to follow so we deal with it and not all of us have the money to have it all changed in one time. Even just having all the exterior emblems changed out wouldnt be considered real deal jdm and it would still be rice unless you change all the things in the interior as well especially the whole RHD part.
It's cool to make the car look like the ones in japan though with all those emblems rebadged. if i had the money i would do the whole conversion as well like the RHD and engine bay battery, etc. that way it'l look like the real deal holyfield!!

YA same thoughts ^ either go all the way or dont do it at all ^ G35s/SKYLINES are born in the same place TOGICHI Japan. They do USDM to their cars over there.

Yes. This is stupid looking.

There's no such thing as an "Infiniti Skyline"

When you say going "all the way," remember that just because you change all the emblems around the car doesn't mean your going all the way unless your car is a right side driver...
Then again, there is no such thing as a Nissan skyline having a left side driver

oo everyone just STFU about RHD , there are freaking R34 LHD. On our Vin plates in our engines, it says made in TOGICHI JAPAN. All they did was slap different emblems on for marketing reason.

So there shouldn't be a problem with changing some emblems then? Just like I said everyone has different views... I don't know why some people are hating on people who change some emblems on their car. It's what you prefer.
Seriously, we paid for an INFINITI and not a NISSAN. At least leave some emblems on like the mt Fuji emblems. There's nothing wrong with changing it to skyline 350gt cus our cars are skylines. No matter what you change for the emblems, people will know that it's an Infiniti here in the US. It's not like all our parts are American, there's some Japanese parts too

how did you go about doing the clock? its one of the last things im going to do because its seems like it will be the most difficult. Also i stripped the torx bolts holding on the steering wheel airbag....how do you recommend i get the torx bolts off?

Not a problem at all... as long as you don't mind being made fun of.

Also.... "It's not like all our parts are American, there's some Japanese parts too"........... SRSLY??? Are you high? MOST of the parts are Japanese, the cars are built in Japan and come over on a boat, about the only American part is the radio and amp.

take off any piece on our G35's....if theres a stamp on the back of it i bet its a Nissan stamp.

take off your grill and look behind it....a Nissan stamp....same with most of the panels on the inside of the car.
