Thumbs up 08 Nissan Skyline 350GT VP36

Hey guys/gals... Rob from New Zealand here, just purchased a "new to me" Skyline 350GT Premium Edition with 45,000 on the clock

Has

Nismo Complete Suspension

Cusco Strut Braces

Nismo ECU

Plans:

GTM TT Kit Stge1 / Supporting Mods

Possibly Rs-R Coilovers, but the Nismo Suspension is absolutely delicious

Few Pics

Love it, definately better than the USDM models! Drove an IPL G37 Coupe in the states and this handles better and has more power.

The iPL is a sad disappointment of a performance line only offering an exhaust upgrade and fancy seats.

Your car looks great!

Uhh..how so specifically? I hardly believe that a company like Infiniti (who hasn't been doing well for years) would put extra performance R&D into a model strictly to make it "better" for a non US market. The only difficulty the US market sees is for safety. And yes, I understand its a safety/power ratio, but I doubt the G has a lower ratio than a corvette, so I'm thinkin this is the same exact car as a US model.

US market comes with less HP/Torque with the same engine, it weighs more, has a softened suspension.

I'm not partial to either, maybe i enjoy the skyline more because of the factory performance parts on it.

Not here to start a fight, some cars just drive sharper and more enjoyable to drive. The infiniti's just felt very heavy and sluggish to me compared to my Nissan, but then again i drove a 250GT Skyline the other day and it was a pig

I'm not saying you're starting a fight, I just don't find it logical for Nissan to do that. If they do, they do, but I don't see why they would that's all. Other than the heavier part cuz here its a "luxury" car, so its gonna have more useless junk in it.
