This is not a photoshop, this is the actual car. Looks very similar to the G35 eh?

Russ is this tawooo? Or is this one of your shananaginagain?

 

That looks to me to be ientical to the G35 with a Nissan grill

 

Look ALOT like the g35.. maybe it is the jap version of the G35... Although the rear window section reminds me of a british car.. cant think of what kind though...

New York plates...

 

That's a photo of the Nissan Skyline. I saw this pic about a month ago on another site. The Japanese Skyline is the same as our G35 but RWD only. The new Maxima will be a 2004 model release late 2003 and will be based off of the Altima chassis meaning it will be FWD and/or possibly AWD. My personal opinion is the two will look very similiar. As far as I know, there are no pics for this car yet. I say some sketches but who knows how accurate they are.

 

interesting, old new york plates too not the new kind, it sure looks like a skyline, don't you think it looks kinda small for a maxima?

 

Hey Russ were did yo get the info, because it does seem like a Japenese market version of the G35?

 

Those are not NY plates. I think thats the skyline in JAPaN(yes skyline) Japan doesnt have the INFINITI cars so thats the new 4 door skyline.

 

Yeah it's a Japan plate.

 

That looks identical to a G35.. hell it is.

 

Those are not NY plates.

 

Wat is tawooo? Who is shanana? I'll take karaoke for $200.....

 

Plates in China Town NY are not different from Regular NY plates..

so what happened Russ.. you sounded so confident

 

Maybe Nissan is going to same route they always have.

i30 = max
i35 = max
g35 = max

Change a symbol etc and rebrand it. A total possiblity and most likely the case.

 

I seen that same pic in the Super Street mag. They say it's the Skyline coming to the US. But who knows

 

thats definitly NOT the 2003 maxima. I saw that car in Car and Driver, its the US version of the Skyline; NASTY!

 

My firm contact has told me for the last 2 years that the next gen Maxima will be RWD or AWD not FWD. Sorry but a bigger car than the Maxima in FWD will not work well. I believe my contact because he has yet to be wrong.

Expect to see the new maxima in late 2002 as a 2003 model.

 

It says NEW YORK on it. I am looking at the picture.

 

How in the hell do you see New York? All I see is a bunch of grainy japanese symbols

 

well i dont see anything that looks like american OR japanese symbols, maybe someone can clear that up with photoshop? and i have never been to new york, but aren't the plates usually made up of 6 characters(combo of numbers and letters)? all i see on the plates is 41 62.
IMO, it is a G35, japanese version.

 

i just received mail from nissan saying the g35 is rwd w/ 260hp.
is that what the skyline is also?

 

that's a Jap. plate.... no way that's a NY plate

 

That's definitely a Japanese plate. Been to Japan many a time and that's what their plates look like. The NY plates have the Statue of Liberty on it in red.

But in repsonce to the quote post, maybe Nissan is going to do the cross platform thing like that of Toyota with the Camry and Lexus with the ES300. Just that it doesn't make any sense though when the I30/35 platform is already based upon the max.

 

ok this is the car it is a g35 it looks sick with a kit check this out http://www.geocities.com/gacerveza/G...?1012733982176

 

For the last time, it's a Japanese plate! Geez since when have you seen 40-61 or whatever on a NY plate. Look here. Look familar? Damn Russ who suckered you man?? http://servo.oit.gatech.edu/~mk5/world/AS_JAPA.html

Here's another

a retarded alien just telepathically informed me the 2003 Maxima will use nitromethane and have a 15 speed gearbox like a big rig! and that plate is no where near being from NY!!

 

the plates resemble japanese licence plates

 

Your right about that. That is the new Nissan Skyline 300GT (as it's called in Japan) with it being called the Infiniti G35 here in the states. The cars plate is from the city of Tama, an area outside of Tokyo. I used to live in Japan now but live in much warmer climes over in Hawaii but I travel to Japan almost every month. Last month when I went, I stopped over at the Nissan showroom and I took a pic of the the Nissan Skyline. Check out my sig pic. I think Nissan is all wrong for going to this model and calling it a Skyline. What on earth were they thinking? But to make things better, they also came out with another sporty version of the Skyline, the R34 M Spec. One hell of a machine! Anyone want to see some pics and I would gladly post them. But no, that it is not the new Maxima-far from it. Aloha!

No, the license plates are not made up of six characters. Yes, you do see two numbers but the two different Japanese characters that you see is the city in which the car was registered. In this case, the city of Tama, a city outside of Tokyo. The plates are only a few characters long, depending on where the car was registered, with two different sets of numbers. Hope this helps.

I sure hope that's not the new maxima.

 

How do you know they didn't use QuarkXPress or Illustrator? Maybe it wasn't Photoshop! I don't get what you fellas are talking about as far as Chinatown or NY plates go.

 

That is not the new Maxima. The new Maxima is going to have a V8, according to what all the dealerships around here are being told.

V8 and RWD... Nissan Mustang
I hope the new Altima performs as well as it looks. I will be looking for Altima.org!!

 

you bunch of dumb asses thats the Nissan skyline produced for Japan get a f#cking clue.

 

It would be the ONLY way I would buy a Maxima again.

 

hmmm guess russ is wrong again...stay away v-dub boy!

 

that skyline is yukkie........

 

G20 = Sentra
G35 <> Maxima

 

OK. I'll be the 5th person to say it. Those are not NY plates, new or old. Nada, niet, non.

maybe if you look closely at the windshield wipers you'll see that its right hand drive. Maybe im just seeing things.
