First two pics (front and side) is on the East Coast road, just south of Barclays Park. The second two are at the edge of the hill between Bathsheba and Tent Bay (in front of the community centre.)
How long have you been away? There's been plenty of changes in the last 15 years.
Just remembered - there's a guy selling a USDM 2004 G35 in today's paper. He's asking $115,000 Barbados dollars. That works out to US$57,500.
Just thought I'd give you guys a kick
taxes on cars here will kill you.

The G35 was sold in the Japanese market as the Nissan Skyline (V35), replacing the R34 Skyline in 2001. It came in different models - 250GT, 300GT, 350GT. The 250GT has a VQ25DE, the 300 a VQ30DE and the 350 a "normal" VQ35DE. The 350GT also can be had with an 8-speed auto.
There is also a vq30dd used in the 300gt v35 skyline (g35). Depending on the model, it made 230-240hp and in the m35 equivalent it made 260hp. This engine also used direct injection and variable valve timing.

Good to see a few other 250GT drivers around here - mine is the 250GTm, which is the absolute base spec, cloth interior, no power seats... But it was cheap and has enough go for me (traded up from a R33 GTS25).

I traded up from a R32 GTS-t. Great car, 3rd gear wheelspin, sideways at any time, and sounded awesome to boot. The V35 is a little staid and old-man-ish by comparison, but I suppose at 46 it was time to grow up 
Pic of the front and engine bay after I did the headlight polish... you can barely see the twin battery covers.
