350 GT-R?

[tehgeckoman]

Anyone seen this guy driving around? he came up next to me when it was pouring and reved up his engine then zoomed past me...has a half veilside body kit and half GT-R look alike with a GT-R badge where his Nissan emblem was.

So it's a 350 pretending to be a GTR? What color was it? I think I know who you're talking about.

[clubtgc]

He could saved himself the humiliation and slapped a Nismo sticker on instead

i think in japan, the 350 is actually called a gt-r or something

[jmoreau10]

I thought it was called a Fairlady Z in japan

z's are fairladys. the g35 is the skyline if im correct.

[tehgeckoman]

Skyline = GT-R (r34) and below

[tehgeckoman]

it was a classic Grey looking color

it turned into the neighborhood right across from the elementary school on bay area near 528...not sure if he lived there or not.

iono something like that lol

But after the r34 and they came out with the infiniti g35, they made it the nissan skyline. Just it wasn't awd and it was practically the same as a 350 lol

you're thinking of the new one the R35 right?
the 350z and g35 are the same engines just different names and G35 has more "luxury" items and a back seat (sedan too).
but saying 350z and GT-R are same just one has AWD and other doesn't is like saying a Evo is a lancer with AWD

[indolent]

did the car look kinda like this?

yeah most of ur info in correct. in japan the 350z is the failady...the odd part is that in japan the g35 is the skyline but it wears a Nissan badge. I'm not sure but i think the normal engine in the jdm "skyline" could be the vq38vhr, rather than the 35 and that would be the differentiation, and of course the seats. I assume the 1 u saw looks worse than this cuz to me thats a pretty sexy looking aero package for the 350...

[lilgoob5043]

^yea I was like. The g35 was the skyline but they only did that so that the name wouldn't die off. The R35 is NOT a skyline. It's just GTR. Skyline name is still with the G in japan lol So it is still only in japan.

well they named it thew skyline in japan mainly because thats what it is..(no sarcasm intended). the "skyline" has actually been running non-stop since 1956 or so. the gtr wasn't introduced until later in the life of the skyline, and even in the more recent models r32-234, they were available in rear drive only twin turbo, and single turbo in japan.

[tehgeckoman]

I'm not sure what the front looked like but I saw the "GT-R" badge where the nissan badge should of been...and yeah It may look nice but...it's imitating something that's pretty much impossible to copy.
