I really don't see why some of you guys are flaming him for having Skyline badges on his G35, as it was sold in the JDM market as a Skyline so I don't see a problem... Just IMO though.

Also I can't believe how many R34's are floating around Sydney at the moment

G35 sedan & coupe are called Skylines in Japan from day one when they're introduced a few years ago. They are totally different from the Skyline GT-R, & some are still confused about the two.

The new GT-R that will be launched in a couple years time will NOT be called the Skyline GT-R but just the GT-R.

The Nissan Skyline has roots dating back to the late 1950's. Of course, back then it wasn't Nissan building the car, it was a company called Prince which later became Nissan motor company. The GT-R designation dates back to 1968.

If anyone would like to learn more about the history of the car - check out the following page:

Ahhhhhhh...who cares? Live and let live. My friend who just bought a JDM Nissan Skyline 350GT (or G35 Coupe or whatever you may like to call it) here in Indonesia, has bought all infiniti badges, complete with the G35 badges to convert his car to an "Infiniti". Do I think he's an idiot? Yes. Does it make him wrong? Not at all. It's his car.
