A lot of our clients might start speculating that they're "payin' dem folks too much munny" if they see me pull up in an Infiniti. Luckily, this same mentality is what will cause them to dismiss the car a little easier when they see a Nissan emblem from a distance.
I do think there is also something to be said for flying the Skyline banner. As was said, it's a name with heritage, just as Corvette is for the USA. For those who love the Skyline and what it represents, rebadging it to an Infiniti was blasphemous. While I understand the marketing move, I still don't have to call it Toby when we all can plainly see that it's still good 'ole Kunta Kinta.

I like how the Mt. Fuji logo doesn't have a word on it. Looks more mysterious and exotic than the Nissan logo does. 350GT looks more exotic than G35 too. A lot of people don't even know what Infiniti is (they don't know what the Mt. Fuji logo stands for)!

I haven't read through all of the threads but I always looked at it like this. From my understanding the skyline is to japan what the corvette would be to america. So if they started selling corvettes in another country under a different name, but the buyer understood the heritage that the corvette has in america, I really could not blame them for "rebadging," or whatever you guys consider it.
I've rebadged my G, and yes the emblems on the outside and inside have been switched. All I have left are the seats and the engine cover is on the way. I understand that it will never be RHD. Don't understand it? Dont care, I wouldn't expect most to. When people ask I am quick to admit that my car is not a skyline, it is an Infiniti that has been rebadged. Some respect it, some think its stupid. Either way my G stands out from the other ones out there.

Mt. Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan, and the nickname for the Infiniti logo.

Infiniti's logo originated as a stylized version of the scientific symbol for infinity (the sideways "8").
This is the company that designed the logo in 1989 and updated the look in 2004:

If you don't have a G35 and come to this forum and badmouth the people who do own one, please go buy yourself your own G35 or have mommy and daddy buy you one.
For those who say the G35 is too cheap....damn playa go buy yourself a 911 TURBO, BENTLEY, SL 55 and spend $50,000.00 - $100,000.00 + That's your preference!
keyword = "PREFERANCE"...!!! It means my personal taste.
I'm a fan of japanese imports and always have been. I know what my car is and what it can do and what it cannot do. It's not a GT-R the last one's made were in 1999. Our G35's is the next generation. The name SKYLINE is a NISSAN heritage!
This is my 2nd G35 / SKYLINE. First one was a sedan.
IF this "EVIDENCE" doesn't prove my point, feel free to call NISSAN MOTOR CORP.
This thread has been tiring and f'n annoying and dumbass people who hate on people like myself with the NISSAN SKYLINE 350GT and NISSAN emblem in the front and NISMO frame on my plate can KISS MY A**...!!! I don't clown on your ride and what you do with it do I...???
It's true, when people are behind the computer, they say what they want and only read what they want...!
Here's a lesson to be learned after all this is said and done:
I have confidence in myself as a person.
As an "adult", I choose to change the badges to NISSAN SKYLINE 350GT because it is my decision to do so...no one else's...!
If you roll up next to me or actually see me in person and go hey is that a real skyline...I'll just ignore you and drive off cause you're wasting my time...!
