Skyline 350 GT

skylineGTR_guy · Nov 14, 2004

Very nice rear end on this 350GT/G35, flare the fenders a little and add rome round lights and its perfect

But I cant find who makes it. I googled it to death and nothing

It is nice. I'm not too fond of the spoiler or the wheels, but other than that, it looks good.

Try checking the SEMA website?

I think thats the stock spoiler.

Victor Vance · Nov 14, 2004

The plate says 'By Design Automotive Group'

Anyway, is that a JDM Skyline, or (my preference) a full USDM to JDM mechanical conversion?

skylineGTR_guy · Nov 14, 2004

Yeah I google by design automotive group and all I found was an exotic car dealership.

I know, but I don't really like it.

I'm not too crazy about it. It's not ugly, but it's nothing to write home about.

first of all that is the next skyline made by nissan ,and it is the next skyline not concept skyline you will see those in america in 2006 or 2007 cant remember wich
one,and victor vance what do you meen usdm and jdm? nissan never shiped the skyline to america, all skylines are jdm. cause as far as i know they were only sold in japan. and the only way to get a skyline in america is to ether import it your self or go to motoRex in california and have them import it for you

240Z · Nov 14, 2004

You, sir, are confused. The Skyline GTR was never shipped here. The Infiniti G35 is known as a Skyline, not to be confused with a GTR. That is an Infiniti G35 (or Skyline, not "Skyline GTR") with a body kit.

I think I've explained it.

You sir are an idiot trying to be smart.

That's a G35. With stuff on it.

Are you suggesting the V35 Skyline is a sedan only? I hope not. It comes in GH-V35 2.5L sedan, GH-HV35 3.0L sedan, UA-PV35 3.5L sedan and UA-CPV35 3.5L coupe (without going into detail

).

Victor Vance · Nov 14, 2004

Uhm, no. There's the Coupe, the Sedan, and the awd Sedan. The only engine choice is the VQ series 3.5 engine. I just checked Infiniti's site to verify that.

Did I say "Infiniti"?

Victor Vance · Nov 14, 2004

It's the same car, isn't it? Why would they offer 2 weaker engine choices?

That is the factory-appointed name.

Not everyone can offord the car with a 3.5 or even the gas mileage

Because the Japanese market has ALWAYS had a huge choice of engines/drivelines to choose from with their own manufacturers... just like you US peeps would have with what, Ford etc. Believe it or not, the Skyline isn't just a sports orientated car either. I remember back in the mid-1980's in Australia they had the 4-door R31 Skyline with a 3.0L engine that wasn't offered in Japan (stroked RB20E to 2998cc) yet the marketing for that car had nothing to do with the Group A touring cars at the time. My point being, offering lesser engines to broaden market share and saturation has been a part of Nissan marketing of the Skyline since it's inception. The Skyline isn't a niche model as Infiniti would have you believe.

The Skyline has lost it's mean appearance. R32's, 33's and 34's all shared a menacing presence on the road. Now the new Skyline sort of looks like a cross breed between a 350Z and the new Maxima. I guess I'll always prefer the RB turbo models.
