Ugly G35's
#1382
There is nothing that ties the GTR to the G35, huh? So the 89-94 SKYLINE GTR R32, 95-98 SKYLINE GTR R33, and 99-02 SKYLINE GTR R34, all were basically special edition SKYLINES (G35), the R35 is the first that was not. But if you look closely, all the past Skylines (G35's) were straight 6's. But the 03 Skyline (G35) went to a V-6, HOLY SH*T BATMAN!!! So did the R35, if you knew anything about engines and how they work or are built, you would notice that R35 GTR Engine the VR38DETT has a lot in common with the vq35hr bottom end. It also has even more in common with the Nissan Fairlady 380 RS (Japan Only, 300 produced) where the VQ35HR was bored out to a 3.8 liter to produce 345 naturally aspirated hp.
The Nissan Skyline (スカイライン in Japanese) is a line of compact cars originally produced by the Japanese carmaker Prince Motor Company starting in 1957 and subsequently by Datsun after the two companies merged in 1966. It is currently available in either coupé, or sedan body styles, with the wagon form being dropped in 1989 with the introduction of the R32 platform.
Iterations R30 to R34 of the Skyline are still popular tuner cars for Japanese car enthusiasts from the 1980s to today, especially with available features such as straight-6 engines, turbochargers, and the high-performance GT-R trim.[1] While not distributed in the United States, the Skyline's prominence in video games, movies and magazines resulted in many such cars being imported there from 1999 to late 2005, after Motorex petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to allow 1990-1999 GT-Rs and GTSs to be imported, at the condition that they were modified to meet United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.[2][2] [3][4]
NISMO Type 380RS (2007)
Released as the road version for Japanese market of the Type 380RS-Competition race car , it includes the VQ35HR engine stroked and bored to 3.8-litre, rated 257 kW (350 PS/350 hp) @ 7200 rpm and 397 N·m (40.5 kgf·m/293 lbf·ft) @ 4800 rpm torque. Brembo disc brakes are fitted, as are Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R tires (245/40R18 in front, 275/35R19 in the rear) with RAYS wheels. Front and rear dampers come from Yamaha.
NISMO Type 380RS is priced 5.397 million (5.14 million+tax) yen ($38695 USD).[17] Only 300 cars were produced.[18]

body kit is different then emblems...idk
v6 with cobra badges is gay but v6 with cobra accessories i dont think is so bad, as long as you arent pretending to be a cobra
i mean is it ricey to put GT-R wheels on a g35? they are just wheels..although I would change the center caps

Yes and it the exact same as the gt or even 6 cyl except the part that says cobra, so why would you want that for aesthetics?

the new v6 stang is pretty sweet..lol
i once saw a new edge mustang (99-04) dressed up as a cobra, badges and all but they left the oem v6 muffler on it with the little tiny downward pointing tip and the other side was empty
sadly my friend traded his 05 3.5SE 5 speed altima for an 03 mustang which he thought was a mach 1, paid mach 1 money for it, then he called me and said he bought a mach 1 (which is the 300hp DOHC 32 valve 4.6 v8 that runs low 13s if you guys don't know) so I looked up the dealer's listing online and it was a GT with a mach 1 emblem and a hood scoop..lol, he paid like 18 grand for it too when it was worth maybe 12 or 13 at the time...we felt bad for him but that what you get for not being able to tell dohc valve covers from sohc valve covers..oh well...i was concerned when he said it felt slower then his altima..lol
this too

yeah if it makes you happy do it, just don't get mad when you end up in the ricer/ugly g35 thread
personally I wouldn't badge upgrade even if my car was the same or better as the model above it. I don't have any issue with Nissan Skyline 350GT badging because that isn't upgrading, thats just putting the the badges that would be on the car if it were sold in japan, its not like a GT-R or a Type R emblem where you a upgrading to something better with an emblem, its a downgrade if anything. A lot of people would disagree with me on that too

WOW, ppl here just do not much gray mass between the ears, no, I said they were related, cousins if you will.
There is nothing that ties the GTR to the G35, huh? So the 89-94 SKYLINE GTR R32, 95-98 SKYLINE GTR R33, and 99-02 SKYLINE GTR R34, all were basically special edition SKYLINES (G35), the R35 is the first that was not. But if you look closely, all the past Skylines (G35's) were straight 6's. But the 03 Skyline (G35) went to a V-6, HOLY SH*T BATMAN!!! So did the R35, if you knew anything about engines and how they work or are built, you would notice that R35 GTR Engine the VR38DETT has a lot in common with the vq35hr bottom end. It also has even more in common with the Nissan Fairlady 380 RS (Japan Only, 300 produced) where the VQ35HR was bored out to a 3.8 liter to produce 345 naturally aspirated hp.
The Nissan Skyline (スカイライン in Japanese) is a line of compact cars originally produced by the Japanese carmaker Prince Motor Company starting in 1957 and subsequently by Datsun after the two companies merged in 1966. It is currently available in either coupé, or sedan body styles, with the wagon form being dropped in 1989 with the introduction of the R32 platform.
Iterations R30 to R34 of the Skyline are still popular tuner cars for Japanese car enthusiasts from the 1980s to today, especially with available features such as straight-6 engines, turbochargers, and the high-performance GT-R trim.[1] While not distributed in the United States, the Skyline's prominence in video games, movies and magazines resulted in many such cars being imported there from 1999 to late 2005, after Motorex petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to allow 1990-1999 GT-Rs and GTSs to be imported, at the condition that they were modified to meet United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.[2][2] [3][4]
NISMO Type 380RS (2007)
Released as the road version for Japanese market of the Type 380RS-Competition race car , it includes the VQ35HR engine stroked and bored to 3.8-litre, rated 257 kW (350 PS/350 hp) @ 7200 rpm and 397 N·m (40.5 kgf·m/293 lbf·ft) @ 4800 rpm torque. Brembo disc brakes are fitted, as are Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R tires (245/40R18 in front, 275/35R19 in the rear) with RAYS wheels. Front and rear dampers come from Yamaha.

The G35 is a Skyline yes, congrats, but still not related to the GT-R in anyway. The G35 can be closer related to the FX or Murano, than it could a GT-R. Actually the EX is techincally the Skyline Crossover. They actually dropped the "Skyline" badge from the GT-R.
Are you going to say the EX35 SUV and GT-R are related now?

I really hope you were not serious about that second question. I hope you know it is not a real GT-R bumper. It is just a cheap fiberglass replica made to look like a GT-R. You can buy the same thing for 20 other cars, including the 350Z, Altima, Maxima.. even a Civic.
