    Default Have you seen this guy????

    Yeah i was going back to the shop on Atlanta road the other day and when i hit the exit, i noticed a black infinity g35 coupe in front of me. After closer examination, i noticed that he had debadged his car and replaced it with SKYLINE badges. His liscense plate said SKYL1NE. I felt like puking my guts out. He had tinted windows so i didnt get a good look at his dumb ass.

    Anyone else seen this loser around town???

    That's true. Back when the G35C's first came out, there was a dude with a white one that did the same thing. That was all he had, and all he planned on doing, not even window tint. Oh well.

    Thats a bit different, slapping a COBRA badge on a V6 is gay as fuck, I agree, But the G35 is the same here and in Japan.... Just there its a Nissan, here its infiniti..... Thats like people putting on badges on thier integra's, etc... Same car but there its a Honda, here is an Acura.... Badging it a skyline is not making up shit because its basically the same car, But tossing badges on a car trying to pass a v6 as a V8, etc is gay, I agree......

    And yeah so you dont feel 297hp stock is good?

    I dont even think they look the same in japan... i dont really keep up with them that much but i just thought this dude was pretty funny. Most of the time people relate SKYLINE with turbos, speed, responsiveness, and a badass awd system. The g35 coupe has NONE of this.

    I guess 297 crank is good for a factory car. But i HATE it when people buy something like that and think/act like they have the fastest car in the damn world. Hell i dont even run around thinking that shit.... cuz i know there are a lot of cars out there that are faster than mine. (I just dont SEE too many of them )

    The only two cars that get my respect from the factory are the Z06 vette and the 2003+ yr Cobra.

    I hear ya, But they do have the 4 door even as a SKYLINE and then of course the coupe ( Both here are known to us as the G35 ) They are the same cars, The current SKYLINE is nothing like what we have known in the past, thats for sure.... Not by the standards they have made in the past. Someone had a pic posted once on here of the 4 door skyline, Its a exact of the 4 door G35 here

    Get over it people!!!!! The car IS A SKYLINE!!!!! Its is just called a G35 here in the US. Same as the civics being called a "Ferio" in Japan but a "civic" in the US. The G35 aka Skyline has no differences.

    Its no where near like putting a type-r sticker on a car thats not a type-r. for anyone who wants more info go here: http://www.jbskyline.net/ if you don't care to know about them, who cares. LOL

    Only reason I know is because my EX worked at Infiniti for quite a few years, and back when it was about to come out it WAS a skyline and then the changed it to G35.

    uhhh... Civics in Japan are civics.. Ferio are the 4 door , Wich were called Civic Ferio. I beleive they were called Civic Ferio up until like 96 or 97 and then changed the name to Honda Integra SJ and Then after that was called Honda Domani, I remember I wanted to do that conversion one time.. (domani)

    My point was that its the same thing, just different name. Civics are somewhat different because of styling and other odds and ends, but I was just trying to say its not like putting a GT sticker on a V6 Mustang or putting a Type-R sticker on a Altima (which I did see, lol)

    Cliff how am I being an E-thug??? LOL I was just replying. I was not trying to be a smart@ss. I was just trying to show people that a g35 is a skyline. Was it the exclamation marks and bold lettering. LOL

    i saw that guy at the dairy queen in duluth a few weeks ago.that car did look a little diffrent.it looked like he changed the brakes it had some huge calipers and monster drilled rotors.it also looked to be a little lower and the exaust looked larger,it also had some really nice rims and tires on it too. i think he may have done more than just slapped on a few badges,is there a upgrade you can get from the dealer to make your g35 a skyline?if so he must have done that. i thought it looked pretty good.
    yes i am....

    Did you just miss reading the posts above??? Also you can upgrade with ANY dealership. The G35's do have a huge aftermaket too. I know for a fact that Nalley Infiniti offer upgrades as well as Roswell Infinti (my friend is a master tech there).
