Pics of my 2002/3 Skyline 250GT

Taken on Barbados' East coast this afternoon. The grille was an Ebay find, bumper came with the car. I need to get the whole thing repainted now, you can see some differences in colour (we're ex-British so we spell "colour" right ). Front plate is blacked out in the picture - we have plates on both ends

Need some wheels, now!

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.

Bear in mind that everything here would class as city driving, given the size of this rock but I usually get about 450kms per tank if I run it to the light, or roughly 280 miles per tank. Not very good. Plus the VQ25DE is a high compression direct injection engine and really needs premium, whereas we get something between premium and regular here.

The only way I'd do that is to go air ride, since as it is now the bottom scrapes on the top of my driveway if I have a single passenger on board.

This may sound ignorant but if the roads are like any other Caribbean islands I've been to, I would not lower it. In fact I'd consider raising it
