JDM or Poser?

[Kaiser]

what if it has a skyline motor?

It does. The G35 had identical engines to it's Japanese counterpart, though in J-land it also had some smaller engine options because of local tax laws (2.5L VQ25DE sounds hot to me to be honest)

Its called custimization to me.....no posing.

Hell, you know what the car is/isn't, and hopefully car enthusiasts do too.

If you are TELLING people its a Skyline, thats ghey. If you are custimizing the car to reflect the big brother, its cool.

Like, people put Type R wings on their LS integra....so? If that same person says its a Type R, punch them in the face, lol.

I think your comparison misses a bit. The problem is that the Japanese Skyline V35 wasn't the "big brother" of the two, it typically came with smaller engines than the VQ35 since they were much less expensive to own, and most people didn't get the 350GT Coupe either. Even when they did, the 350GT Coupe didn't come with any features or functionality that the G35 didn't get. I know we're essentially agreeing on the fact that it's not "poser" in the sense that Tony meant it when he posted originally, not trying to argue with that, just the idea behind it so that maybe other people will see what we see.

Now, there used to be a phrase back in the late 90's early 00's called "J-spec" when getting parts from Japan was ridiculously expensive and thus real "JDM" parts sold over there had more meaning to it. Basically the same idea as the "E-code" parts for us Euros.
