It may take some time to find all the right parts, but I think it's worth it. Here's some pics of my car incase your wondering what the logos might look like JDM style...
I agree i want to change everything. Was able to find the rear and frount emblems online. Were can i get the rest sill plates and the stearing weel cover. Is the stearing weel cover hard to convert. Thanks for the pics.

IMO its pointless and kind of ricey to put on some Skyline logos. Even if the car IS a Skyline in Japan, I see no reason to change the Infiniti ones for crappy Nissan ones. But yeah whatever you like.

OEM Nissan not ricey. I bought the car cause i love the power and style not becuase it is an INFINITI. In fact most of my frend think of a high-end car as that of a BMW/Infiniti/ Merc. I want to to show my personality by showing everyone what the car really is." NISSAN" ( you would be supprised the number of people that do not know ).

LOL Let's not hi-jack this thread to another one of those "It's a Skyline, it's a G35!" threads. There's plenty of those around here, and it's all a personal preference, so who cares what anybody else thinks. It's your car! Make it YOUR car! In my opinion, it adds a little flair or style going JDM with your car. It's called "modding"...remember! But then again, my opinion is bias.

But I digress, and the topic at hand is where to get all the Nissan Skyline 350GT parts. The trunk emblems (Skyline, Nissan, 350GT), and door sills can be found on EverythingG35.com. The Nissan front grill logo, can be found on Mynismo.com. As for the most important part...the airbag cover is hard to come by, but I found mine on Ebay. Everynow and then you'll find one being sold by RBmotoring.com. They specialize in Skyline parts. Once your able to get a hold of an airbag cover or steering wheel, check out the DIY section where I did a step by step. It's easier than you think!

Thanks for all your help. I guess there is not way around the seats which have the Infiniti log on them, In addition to the frount floor mats?.

I actually own a V35 (350GT), and can honestly say that there's really not that much difference from what i've seen of the US G35s. The front floor mats of mine say "Skyline" on them, as do the plates on the door sill. The only other difference i can think of mentioning is that the non-premium package for JDM does not come with rear deck speakers (though it does have the cutout for them, and all the non-bose speakers are 4ohm, whereas i believe the non-bose US specs are 2ohm (not a cosmetic difference, but something i noticed when installing). And, of course, the GPS and all the various voices are in Japanese - which would suck for me, but we can't use GPS in the Caribbean anyway :P

Also, the stock wheels are 17's and have a different design than the US wheels - i actually preferred the US stock rims, but i've since bought some new wheels and tires for mine.

Say JSYv35, you wouldn't happen to have an extra set of those floor mats, would you? I can't find them anywhere! Maybe sell yours to me

Just keep your stock components. I just got rid of my Lexus IS300 Sportcross (Altezza Gita in Japan) I had everything converted over. Was a pain to find a few things before turning the car in.

I just bought my SKYLINE and GT350 Badges. Not sure bout the grille. Thinking about the Gialla one.

You can find the rear trunk mat here: http://infinitipa.zoovy.com/product/H4904-AL500

Has anyone ever priced the JDM seat skins? An entire set may not be needed, if you could purchase just the back section... ...and if the interior colors match.

I had the SKYLINE and 350GT badge on the back of my car since my girlfriend at the time bought them for me. The only problem was that I couldn't find the wheel center caps, and I couldn't afford to get the steering wheel cover and the door sills. The car also got a lot of attention from ricers who always wanted to race.

A question though; what would you do about the clock and the seats? You could buy new seats, but that's expensive. But the clock? Take the whole dash apart or something?
