I think why we like the cobalt so much the back end of the lights they kinda look like skyline lights (kinda) im a big fan of the (skyline) and the cobalt make me think of the skyline of the back end of the lights. during the summer when my dad and i went to look at nissan's i ask the saleman about the skyline and he said they be here in america about 2007 or 2010 but thats to long for a car well any hoo i like the cobalt ss skyline

 

The skyline is here, its called an Infinity G35

 

ding ding ding.....we have a winner!

 

actually its vette inspired lights, the vette has had those styiling lights for ever skyline was introduced in 89-90 while the vettes had them in the what 70's- 80's 80's for sure cuz of the C4 vette

 

Since 1961 actually..

Not a good picture of the lights but you can tell that they are four circles.

 

On a side note.. I'm guessing only the outside lights light up, the insides just being reverse/reflectors correct?

 

They all light up... There is a post on here somewhere, where JonelZ went to a dealership and took pictures of the lights at night all lit up..!

If I find the post again.. I post the link here.

Thanks! I thought that was just the reflectors reflecting the flash back... I hope you're right though!

 

Actually, isnt the G35 based off the Nissan 350Z, not the Skyline? Or am i thinking of a different car?

 

those tail lights are so chevy....not just the vettes but 70-73 camaro....ss impala.....if anything the skyline ripped off chevy

 

The infinity G35 IS called the Nissan Skyline in Japan (Japan not having the infiniti line). They are making a new skyline supercar in 2007 or so, lots of power i hear too. As for the G35 or Japanese Skyline now, I don't consider them worthy of the name, underpowered and under-aspirated for such. The last real skyline died in 2001, hopefully they are making a new R35

 

Exactly. And when the R35 Skyline comes here in a few years, it will be called a Nissan Skyline, but still look almost the same as the G35

 

g35 is the skyline while the 250z is the fairlady

 

From what have have read and pictures i have seen, the G35 is to a 350z as a cav is to a sunfire.

So.... what you guys are saying is that over seas they call the G35 a skyline, so am i correct in saying that a G35 is a cousin to the 350z?

Yeah the G35 is the sister car to the 350z like the camaro/firebird, cavy/sunfire, etc etc deal.

In japan the G35 is the Skyline Coupe I believe and when they do get the Skyline here I think it's basically going to be a Turbocharged G35 with some suspension components upgraded...





400 hp GTO is a better deal.

 

My C4 Vette .. My Corvette

 

the vette has had those round style tail lights since 1961, all other years before that were the banana style lights, all though it may be possible that a 1960 vette could have the round lights dur to an early model year change over......but ive never heard of that.....kinda like the 1999 silverado some had the 1993-1998 look while others had the 1999-2002

 

last i read the 2007 g35 is going to have the skyline as an option. its going to be badged as the nissan g35 skyline. it will look almost the same as a regular g35 the front air dam is the only diff defference. they are thinking about redoing the rear end to look like a skyline(the lights) the g35 skyline will aslo include nissans AWD components found in r32 sand r34s

 

cool thanks i don't think the ifinity looks like the skyline to me

 

from what i remember this is what it's supposed to look like. i had all kinds of pics cause i was researchin the skyline on the Japan website. and i lost the pics. but they say it might not be here till 2008

 

abought three mounths ago i was on ga 400 when i came up on what i thougt was a g35 but when i got up to it it said skyline on the back i had to look twice but that is what it said the tail lights looked a little difrent than the g35 i road behind him for a while when i got next to it there was a older man driving it i dident know thay werent out yet untill i read this thread thats why i dident think to much of it and for those of you that will say b.s my wife saw it to so i know i am not crazy

 

i know people who change the lights and emblems to resemble different cars. i have a friend who had a stock integra. and worked on it and worked on it. and eventually he made it into a type-R all the same parts and specs as the ones from japan. except left hand drive. and he put all the same type-R emblems and honda instead of acura and even the same seats that come in a type-R. and i've seen someone put a skyline emblem on a G35 but never made it to spec as a real G35. just people messing around. check the steering wheel next time. most people hardly change the steering wheel. and sometimes the dash. but usually the dash/gauges are the first to go. i've seen a car with the altezza emblems on the car which is a is300 and yet when i checked the inside the steering had the lexus symbol on it. so it wasn't a real altezza. just people change the looks of the cars to resemble the original name they began with.

 

USA JAPAN
350Z = Fairlady Z
G35 = Skyline

The G35 and 350Z are rebadges of the same car, they use the same drivetrain, frame etc..much like the Camaro and Firebird, or Cavalier and Sunfire.

 

Unfortunately, you sir are wrong. The inner lights w/ the reverses in them are only that, reverse lights and the red is a reflector. It lights up like that as a reaction to the flash. there is a thread here about someone modding it to light up w/ all four tho.
