Infinity = Nissan.

G35 = Skyline.

And going by Nissan.co.jp, it looks like they're calling the four door G35 a 350gt...

Yeah, no ****. The guy still hasnt said whether he was talking about JDM or USDM . Here are some examples for you: we dont call a 240sx a Silvia, we dont call a Lexus an Altezza. So I guess the guy would be half right/half wrong. It would be called a Skyline in Japan, in America it's called a G35.

Make sense?

Good.

Re-read his first post and try again.

And we dont call a Lexus an Altezza because an Altezza is an IS300.

The g35coupe here in the U.S. IS the Skyline 350GT in Japan... Many g35's here (including my brother) have put the Skyline and the 350Gt eblem on.... the difference with the g35coupe here and the Skyline 350Gt is that the Skyline 350GT is AWD and it has a little bit more power and it is RHD.... so YES LittleDEVILbike you are correct

The post is open to interpretation as it does not specify either way. An Altezza is an IS200, in the JDM market. IS300 in ours.

No 2 door Skyline currently in production is available with AWD, not in the US, Japan, or any where else in the world. Only the sedan has an option for AWD and is offered only with the automatic transmission, in both the US and Japan. While the US only has one engine for the entire model lineup, the VQ35DE, Japan has 3 different engines, the VQ35DE, the VQ30DD, and the VQ25DD, with the latter 2 engine choices exclusive to the sedan. While the US gets AWD with the 3.5 liter engine, Japan only has AWD offered with the VQ25DD.

Good.

we don't call a 240SX a silvia because the 240 came with the 2.4 liter KA24DE. Now I sometimes call my 240 a Silvia because it has a little turbo 2.0 engine in it
