Sorry for going a bit OT, but I’ve posted this before, so once again, here’s my full list of how to make your G37 a JDM Skyline:
• Change all exterior badges, including front grill and trunk markings, to Nissan/Skyline badges
• Replace kick plates with the skyline version
• Replace steering wheel
• Replace OEM rims
• Replace analog clock
• Replace passenger compartment and trunk carpeting
• Replace seat backs
• Replace IK fob
• Replace engine cover
• Replace documentation packet case and all its contents (or you can just cross out the word Infiniti everywhere on manuals and write in “Skyline” with a magic marker)
• Change navigation panel buttons to those written in Japanese
• Replace instrument panel to right hand drive version (estimated cost $12,000)
• Remember, now that drivers will be sitting on the right, front passengers now get the lumbar support switch that is not part of the new driver’s side. Also, left turns may now be a bit more tricky in U.S. traffic. But U.S. mail delivery vehicles do it, so it certainly is possible.
Of course, the one thing that cannot be changed is the VIN from G37 coding to Skyline coding, but perhaps few observers would notice this particular subtlety.
So, for whatever motive that most car enthusiasts do not understand, a G37 owner can now have bragging rights to a legitimate Skyline. Whether such owners can now get warranty service at Nissan dealerships is problematical.

amazing how many other people mentioned their mods as did i and all you can say is "wrong thread" brilliant!
ya know, when you go to new post, and look at this thread, it says "How many G37 owners on this site, have their CARS stock" so even though it is in the coup section, the OP didnt ask about coups, he/she asked about cars.

I agree with the comment about what car you came from. I had a '05 scion xB before this. Needless to say, the G is much more fun to drive. And I think it's a very nice car to begin with.
That said, I got it tinted and I'm putting a gen 3 intake in. But then I'm calling it quits (hopefully). There are some really nice modded rides on here though. And the forced induction monsters had me tempted as well.
