Unofficial 2006 G35C Photos
#31
Hey skyline (phonetically spelled)
I just got back from Taiwan last night (military/business trip) and actually got to see the boats unloading the new 2006 G35's on my way to the airport. They look a lot like your modified 2003/4 G, especially the photos you showed of the killer projectors.
Good work with the breaking news! I too will be posting photos soon, just give me a second. I sent in my $189.54 for my annual fees for your rag. When will it show up in the mail? Can I pay more money for back ordered issues? Can I call you skyline-O?

Oh boy, what have I started.........
1) Taiwanese vs Chinese - Taiwanese is a 'nationality' and Chinese is an 'ethnicity.' I think most people fight over the wrong things when someone stands up and say "I am Taiwanese." I am Taiwanese by nationality, and Chinese by ethnicity. I speak both Mandarin and Taiwanese (which is actually modified Fujianese w/ Japanese infusion). Green party vs blue party is irrelevant to me since the bigger picture is democracy vs communism. I am not arrogant enough as to say one is better than the other, but the point has to be made that Taiwan is an independent country from China, regardless of what the Communist government insists on the world.
ANYWAYZZZZZZ...... back to the G35C.
I am in Taiwan, and I've been snooping around for G35C news since the plane landed. I've got some video and sound clips of the 06 coupe, but I don't have a server to post them. I spent a good 2 hours chatting with the owner of the black G35C, (which apparently is the same one pictured in earlier posts) and then spend another hour in the parking lot. Here are some additional info:
Headlights:
1) As stated above, the 'clearance strip' is now a part of the headlight housing with three folds running down the side. There are no optics in the raffles, but simply painted plastic like the rest of the housing. The owner of the vehicle told me the new strip works very well in the day time, but at night it's invisible. There are no easy way to put clearance strip back into the 06, unless someone takes apart the headlight, dremel out the strip, glue a custom optic strip there, and then rewire the 5w bulb to the space........ It'd be easier to do a projector retrofit on a 03-05 headlight and clear out the orange turn signal lense.
2) At night, the headlights look very different from our coupes. Only the projector HID and the 5watt bulb in the fog light housing lights up. The turn signal no longer illuminates as our cars, and obviously there is no more clearance light. At night, I cannot identify the vehicle as a G35C because I am used to seeing the clearance strip from the side and orange turn signal from the front.
3) 03 G35 Coupe better than 04, 05 & 06? I don't know about that. 04 has a better center console, 05 has 298 hp, 19" forged wheels and a new interior, now 06 has projector headlight and more interior amenity. I think 03 coupes win more shows because it's been around the longest, so the show cars have the most stuff on there. All I can say is Caribbean Blue & Brembos. I think with the exception of Brembos, 06 > 05 > 04 > 03, which is a good thing for Infiniti. I am glad Infiniti listens to customer complains and address the issues promptly.
4) I still don't know what the heck happened to the exhaust. When I asked the owner to rev his engine for me, all I heard was the engine whine. I didn't hear a hint of the the familiar exhaust note even when he started the car. I know it's not my ears because I heard 6 FX35's drove by with the signature howling. The 06 exhaust I heard sounded more quiet than a G35 sedan. The owner also told me he was dissapointed in the 06 exhaust. (that and not having the clearance strip or Caribbean Blue as a choice of color) The strange thing is that a Taiwanese video review of the G35C had the familiar exhaust sound. ??? Really confused here. I really hope the US spec 2006 G35C will retain the 03-05 exhaust note.
5) Hey Neff, you should have PM'ed me so I could take you out to some boba shop in Taiwan. hahahaha

look at the way chinese people thinks and you will see why communist country should not be allowed. they been taught nothing else but only what thier goverment wants them to know.
what's freedom i guess chinese people will never know

The thing bugs me the most is nationalism. America won her freedom after fighting for it. Our founding fathers and the inhibitants are willing to raise arm to fight for the freedom. Majority of people in Taiwan especially those in power who promotes independence send their kids out of country to dodge draft and avoid joining the military. No one wants to join the army there everyone think of ways to get their kids out. So we got bunch of pussies who promotes independence but dont want to fight for it. That to me is just bunch of baloney.

not to get off-topic again, but i feel impelled to comment on the analogy about americans and the british and state that it's an incorrect analogy. if you know american history, you would realize that at the time of the thirteen colonies, the states were made up of a lot of british citizens. however, as time progressed, immigrants poured into the country and made this country what it is today....a giant melting pot consisting of italians, greeks, spanish, asians, indians...the list can go on and on. therefore, americans CANNOT be considered british since MOST are NOT descendants of english blood. however, many taiwanese citizens are directly from china but fled to taiwan because of communist rule.
but back to the topic...WHEN ARE THE '06 PICS COMING THAT SHOW THE NEW CHANGES (front lip, sideskirts, and new spoiler)?

only if we can be like south korean, otherwise i think taiwan well never stand a chance against china.
anyhow back to the topic, can someone in taiwan ask how much does the 06 headlight cost ? so we can get an idea for people who wants to retrofit to the projector
