Yes, it is. The US Infiniti G35 (coupe and sedan) ARE the skylines in japan, no ifs and or buts about it. They are only a few cosmetic differences and thats it(from what i know)So you can say we do have skylines...but just not under the name skylines lol

That is still a little iffy, Ive heard that the US version is ganna have a N/A V8 but still put out some real nice numbers. Just rumours...we will have to wait till 2007-08 when the GTR actually gets here..

That V8 would be crazy, that would be awesome haha. The skyline 350gt is only the skyline coupe. So its basically the G35 coupe here. As i said above, from what i know the only differences are some cosmetic.

acualy i like the veilslide front lip and sides skirts better, but thats a nice wing for the g35... and yeah the motor that the USDM GT-R is going to get is still speculation.. and its going to be around the mark of 80k which is stupid because none of the fan boys will be able to afford it... but the price is still speculation too, too bad nissan-us isnt really able to market stuff like they do in nissan-j... buhh ohh well


OT: Tegg do you know that side skirts and rear valance that is in the picture in your sig ?

80k stupid? Not to Nissan it isn't. This is where we blame the people who paid $60k or so to Motorex for a USED Skyline.

Nissan-Japan: "Hmm... they're paying $60k+ for used Skylines."

So what's another $20k for a NEW one?

BTW in this one magazine I have, the only differences I see between the U.S. G35 and Japan Skyline GT350 is emblems. And change everything that says "Infiniti" to "Nissan". And dump the wood crap
