Car experts: SKYLINE GT vs. G35? Are they the same?

[b0rk]

Hi,

I was walking along St. George street to school and what I first thought was a very sexy black G35, turned out to be a SKYLINE Infiniti? The words were spelt out like: S K Y L I N E .. I haven't ever seen something like this before...is this sold in Canada?

The G35 is known as a skyline in Japan. It's probably some enthusiast that changed their badges.

Exactly...

just like:
NA-350z....JPN-Fairlady
NA-IS300...JPN-Altezza
NA:RSX....JPN-Integra

It's the same car .... one name for the Asian market ... one name for the North American market.

Yes, G35 is Skyline V35 350GT :)

why would someone want to change their badge...?? if its the same car and everything?

[Anessa]

They like to play the JDM card and attempt to look different and 'cooler.'

Maybe they are big fans of Skyline chili.

If by 'Skyline GT' you meant to say 'Skyline GT-R' then no, the G35 is NOT the Skyline GT-R.

But if you meant to ask if the G35 is the plain jane 'Skyline' then yes, the G35 is the 'Skyline'

Skyline GT-R and Skyline are two totally (pretty much) different cars.

thank you :)

back in the R34 days, i think the only thing that was the same was the body-style (for the most part).. for the current generation, they'll be splitting off completely... people got to understand there's a difference in skyline and skyline gt-r :)

[DJ_Peanuts22]

the rebadging looks cool and makes your car stand out, and not just simply a G35, even though it looks the same. same idea as the 350Z is known as the Fairlady Z in Japan

Everybody wants to be different, just like everybody else.

Skyline is a much more prestigious name than G35.

But still it lacks punch since it's nolonger the Skyline GT-R which is officially gone. We might get the Skyline GT, a completely different car in a year or two.
