Thumbs up So I found me this 8-speed Skyline in my garage today. Thought I'd take a few pics...

Should say firstly that I am in Sydney Australia!
Got this about a month ago, 2003 Skyline 350GT-8. Extremely pleased with it, definitely worth the wait.
CVT Gearbox, 8 speed manual mode. Yes it does have paddle shifters, no they aren't worth it, but they do look cool.

1/2 suede/leather seats. Umm... I guess everything else pretty much looks like your cars, only backwards of course


Been trawling G35Driver for a while now stocking up on knowledge,
Just thought I'd say hi!

Oh and just to pre-empt some people - yes the sunshields are going and yes I know I need nicer wheels...

Would you be kind enough to post another pic that shows off those window vents a bit more? I'd like to get a better view of them.

Thanks

Interesting. This means it would be relatively easy to source the pedal shifter housing and hook it up to the existing manual mode device in the center console and have paddle shifters for 03-06 5AT. It would be relatively simple.

Except that he said they aren't worth it... Why would you want 'em? I drove the '07 and wouldn’t necessarily care to have the paddle shifters. Just me I guess (and the guy that originally posted)...

I have two small picture request.

1. Under hood picture. Particularly looking straight down, right behind the radiator. On the US. model, there's an empty spot where something can be mounted. Wondering if it only apply to foreign market.

2. Rear Differential. I believe Australian model have a finned differential housing, where US. gets the plain one. Just wanted to confirm.

Thanks in advance.
BTW, welcome aboard and enjoy your stay.
