Pictues of current skyline and older skylines I took in Japan...

Hello all,

I just got back from my trip to Japan and I've managed to take some pictures of the current skyline as well as the older models (also a M as well). I spent 5 days in Japan in a smaller city as well as a bigger city Osaka. What surprises me is I was only able to find one g35 skyline sedan and manage to see a g35 coupe on the highway. The older skylines are all over the place. I also saw a M35/45 (not sure which) as a taxi. Other things I noticed are, acuras wear honda badges, lexus wear toyota badges, etc. Ok enough about my trip already, below are some pictures I took.

P.S. One last thing. Everytime we stopped by tourist/sight seeings areas, I would look for skylines by the parking lot (my wife thinks I am nuts)

The reason I took this picture from such a distance
https://g35driver.com/forums/attachm...7&d=1135123260

was my wife was actually posing for a picture. Then I noticed the g35 sedan in back of me from a distance. Guess what? I turned around zoomed in and shot it first and then turn around and took the picture for my wife afterward.

we should have gotten the skylines here as replacements for the maximas....
notice how slightly similar 5.5 gen maximas are to the late 4door skylines...
they are pretty much rounded skylines.

Nice pics. Where are the clear corners on this car? I guess someone modded to USDM.

How was Osaka? My ex-gf is in Osaka working for Panasonic, any chance you were there to do business with them? I hear Matsu****a is a big deal in that city.
