They are different chassis codes, regardless of interchangability of parts. Your logic for swapping suspension parts if flawed, because you can swap parts between a Q45 (G50) and a 300Z (Z32) and there's no way you're goign to convince anyone those are the same cars .l31nismo wrote:Are you just rambling magazine facts. The Altima and Maxima Sub-frames are identical. You can swap suspension components between the 2. I know this because I work on these cars all day long. Unless you've dropped the front cradle on any of these cars your opinions are not valid to me. Maybe to someone else but I know the fact, and that fact is despite the chassis codes these cars are similar but in fact NOT the same which is the point I was trying to make in the first place so instead of trying to critique my writing why don't you analyze the entire point of my senseless rambling. The G35 is not a Skyline.......

Don't you mean a QR25DE? The VQ code is limited to the V6. The QR25DE is the motor that comes in the Spec-V Sentra and S model Altima's as well as Base model Frontier's and X-Terra's. I'm not arguing with the Base Skyline having a 4 cyl because I honestly don't know but the only motor available in the G35 is the VQ35DE which is a V6. As far as I'm aware Infiniti no longer offers 4 cyl motors. V6 And V8's only.sean8564 wrote:OH snap Mr JDM has to Jump in with my 2 cents Ok look the JDM skyline is exacitlly identical to the G35 in fact we got the best version of it here in the states you know the base models run a VQ25DE and the best models the GT350 have a VQ35DE and I agree with neal the KPCG10 out dose any BNR34 chassis car and the resail is apporx for a true one 7 Million Yen while a BNR34 I sold the last on for 4.165 Million and you can pick up a ER34 coupe 5 spd which is a RB20E for 300,000 Yen and that was a grade 4
Man that is badass. I never even heard of that. Thanks for educating me. Man That's kind of cool. I guess that's the Smallest V6 Nissan Makes in a Skyline? I always thought the VQ prefix never had anything smaller than a 3.0L. I was wrong. Thanks again.sean8564 wrote:It is a VQ25DD A 2.5 V6 Google the motor up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_VQ_engine
Being in the Military doesn't make it any eaiser to get it back stateside. I had a friend when I was stationed down Yokosuka way that was trying to get an R32 GTS4 turbo back to the states. He tried for three years and gave up. Aparently, the Skyline is still sitting on base, he is still the registered owner, but it's been impoundedl31nismo wrote:Is it true that there are Skylines all over Canada? If it is I would think it would be a little easier to get them here. I've heard that if you Yank the Engine, Trans and harness from the car. Ship those parts separatley then ship the car. They don't list it as shipping a car but shipping Parts. Is this true? Plus my wife is in the Air Force and we are trying to get stationed in Japan. If we get it, is it easier for me to get a Skyline back. I've heard the Government will let you but you have to sign some sort of contract saying you won't sell the car or some ****. Is this also true? If not is there still an easier way for me since I'm in a military family to get that Beautifull sexxxy beast in my Garage?
