I never claimed to be a nissan expert or have a complete knowledge of their
line up but what is a skyline 370 GT. I assume they are not for sale in the US.

I enjoyed it when a few r34's and r33's showed up at import alliance and a dude in a G drove by. I started hollering when seeing his skyline badge, "hey buddy these are the real Skylines!"

Why is that lame? It's the same as people who put fairlady on the back of the z.

Yup, its like how some people like to rebadge their Acura RSX into Honda Integra, VW Jetta's into Bora's , 300ZX/350/370's into Fairlady's.

Now if they had GT-R badges on the back of their G's then it would be a different story...

A Z IS a Fairlady. The only reason they don't call it "Fairlady" in the states is because they didn't feel it would sell as well with such a feminine name.

A G is a G. Nothing to do with a Skyline.

I think that was his point. A skyline is the same as the 370 GT so it's not really lame.

I get that a G is a "rebadged" Skyline... got it. But rebadged is rebadged and it actually has very little to do with the Skylines of old.

A Z is still very much a "Fairlady" so putting that on the back of your Z makes a hell of a lot more sense to me than putting "Skyline" on the back of a G.

Ok... I gotta go take a shiit now.

In Japan the Skyline 370 GT is the same as a Infiniti G37 here. The same as the 370z is a Fairlady Z in Japan. The guy was saying rebadging was lame. Your point is that the Fairlady and 370 are the same so it's not lame to rebadge. So its not lame to rebadge an infiniti g37 to Skyline 370 GT
