JDM or USDM

Read numerous on if one should rebadge their Infiniti G37 to its counterpart Nissan V36 370GT and got blasted for it. A real 370GT is RHD and got side markers in the fenders etc. yet in Japan. Folks admiring the infiniti and doing conversions to such! Take a look at this: http://www.stancenation.com/2014/11/...n-skyline-v36/

Clean! Can even tell the difference at first glance. To each their own.

But.

Do what u want to your build. After all. It's YOUR build.

45kg spring rates up front and 14kg in the rear help give this Skyline the incredible fitment you see in front of you.
45 kg spring rate

I am generally on the fence about stanced out rides but this guy deserves credit for his attention to detail. The paint looks pristine and the rest of the body of the car looks great!

USDM and JDM.... but there's also UKDM. The UK-spec Infiniti G37s are RHD and look like rebadged JDM models.

The camber looks like the car is full of sumo wrestlers!

Maybe I'm on the wrong forum...

Yeah I'm not with the camber lifestyle. I value tire to road too much. But it still clean though.

USDM Style! // Hiro?s Clean Nissan Skyline V36. | StanceNation? // Form > Function

^It definitely does not look like a luxury car anymore with that style, more like something out of the Fast & the Furious.

Honestly I'm waiting on a nissan badge for my g37x. I personally don't care what some people think. I know it's nothing crazy. Like a mr2 with ferrari badges. We use to put acura emblems upside down on honda civic years ago. .

Let me guess? Social media? Don't pay any attention to that. Most of the times comes from old or immature heads that lack the information.
The car is real and it exists. It is not a Nissan Skyline GT-R which is what everyone thinks ALL THE TIME.
Nissan divorced their skyline trim once they came out with the GT-R. Many people are still in the 90s stuck on this.

To each it's own

I like that this got bumped in 2020. They are literally the exact same car. The steering wheel is on different sides depending on market, that's it.
