No reason to complain, I'm well aware of the heratige of the Infiniti brand.
They may call it a Skyline in Japan, but as far as I am concerned the GTR should be a Nissan.
Can you handle that?

If you're talking about the GT-R...that's a different story. The Infiniti G35 is the Nissan Skyline in Japan...not the Nissan Skyline GT-R. They're two different things.

For the last time:
Skyline != GT-R
G35 == Skyline 350GT
I'm surprised by people who call themselves Nissan fans and know nothing about the history of the Skyline and the Skyline GT-R. Just like there is a WRX and a WRX STi there used to be a Skyline and Skyline GT-R. And stop misspelling Infiniti!

What a gay thread. This issue should've been laid to rest back in '03 when the car 1st came out.
There's nothing to debate here. Skyline = JDM G35. G35 = USDM Skyline. That's all there is to it.

First of all, It's not a matter of opinion or personal preference. Its a matter of FACTS.
The G35 is known as the Nissan Skyline 350GT in JAPAN.
So many ignorant people believe that in order for a vehicle to a be a Skyline, it has to be a GTR.
Second, anyone who posts such stupid threads should be banned, or atleast charged for the waste of memory space used.

The Infiniti G35 is a nissan, take apart anything on the interior and it will have a nissan skew and a nissan logo... Even the little covers on for the slider on your seat. Go pop it off and look, sorry to say it but its a nissan

All I gotta say is you have a right to put a Skyline badge on your Infiniti, and if you do just finish the job and put the Nissan badge on it as well. Might not get your brother's middle-aged wife ***** anymore, though.

A disgrace? Have you seen some of the Skylines that were sold before the V35?
Obviously not. The GT-R was a very special version meant to help sell the more pedestrian Skylines. It's called marketing. More of a BMW 6 series copy than anything else.
That being said, I don't think the R32/33 or 34 really looked like a sports car as they are big old sedans. The cache was that the car performed so well.
The V35 Skyline 350GT is a better looking design, albeit one that doesn't perform as well as the far more expensive R34 Skyline "GT-R"
Hell, I'll go so far as to say that the V35 Skyline is one of the few really nice looking from front tow hook to rear exhaust tip Nissans ever built. I'd go so far as to say it's one of the best looking Japanese designs in general.
At the end of the day, I don't understand why somebody would rebadge their car to match the JDM product.

LOL!!!
I saw a meet pic in Japan where there were about a dozen decked out V35's with Infiniti everything! Now that's IRONIC.

What's the worse disgrace - having to live with the fact that the stock G-Coupe available in Q3 of this year will be faster than the 350Z by leaps and bounds, or the fact that it's sold as a V37 SKYLINE in Japan?
Hell, even the V36 Skyline Sedan (aka 2007 G35 Sport Sedan 6 MT) throws down Z-like numbers stock, and that has 4 doors and a big-*** trunk.
Must be hard to be you, living in such a state of disgrace
LOL!
