Great to see Carlos getting some notice. Good review, even and fair, yet still complimentary.

I find a ton of errors and omissions in this article. Its badly researched. The author should have posted an inquiry on this forum and we would've emailed/mailed him/her the model history.

Errors:

240sx and J30 share very little.

J30 was not replaced by the g35 or I30/I35. G20 was replaced by the G35, The I sedans where a response to the Lexus ES and Acura TL. If anything replaced the J30 it was the New M sedans.

Omissions:

Never mentioned the 1993-1994 J30 "t" models with HICAS.

For a Canadian article(I'm ashamed) never mentioned the Canuck gold j30t models sold in '93&'94, with special paint, upgraded wood trim (darker wood) gold emblems and wire wheels.

Hmm, so your saying that the rear drive 3 liter v6 was replaced by the m with 4.5 v8??

Then you say that the 2 liter front drive car was replaced by a 3.5 v6 rear drive??

Its obvious the G35 is the J30s successor.

J30 is to 300zx NA as G35 is to 350z i would have to agree with dominickJ30
