Maybe but when he bought it it had the skyline emblem on the back, same as for the 1 other ive seen.
From my understandings the japan version came stock with mega HP somewhere around 600HP or so, but the US version is the same car but with less HP which is 280 stock. The only car i've ever seen with an analog clock, nothing digital for time in that car.

You should have beat him. Those cars are not faster than 99+ gt's. You need to get traction next time. I have no idea how well you drive a manual but if your new to this like i was then you need to keep practicing your launches. Get a short throw shifter if you don't have one yet. I got my pullies and timing adjuster on ebay. I couldn't find them anywhere for cheaper.

G35's are twins to a 350z, Great HP but cruddy torque. It's a drivers race, but if you can drive good enough you should have beat him by a length or so. STOCK that is...
But you have the mods to equal or exceed his crank HP, plus you have a major torque advantage. You need to learn how to drive that puppy

Infinity G35 Drift Review
Every so often at the Drift Session, we get our hands on a vehicle for testing purposes. Luckily, we've had the chance to sample many of Japan's "supercars" over the past few years, like the Toyota Supra, Acura NSX, and 300ZX, but this month a brand new Infinity G35 Coupe was dropped off at the track for some testing...
For those of you that don't know about the G35, it's Infinity's comeback car in the US market. These things are selling like hotcakes all across America, and even in Hawaii where they only seem to bring in G35's in 2 different shades of silver / gray. In Japan, where the "Infinity" brand name does not exist the G35 is marketed as the newest model in the Nissan Skyline family, boasting both coupe and sedan models.
At the heart of the G35 is a front-midship mounted 3.5 liter naturally aspirated V6, producing 280 horsepower and 270 foot pounds of torque. The front-midship engine placement gives the G35 an amazing 53 / 47 weight distribution, allowing for increased handling and aggressive driving. The G35's power is then put through a 6 speed manual transmission before hitting the ground through the 18 inch rear wheels.
While the engine of the G35 is identical to the Nissan 350Z, the G35's styling is refined and more luxurious than the comparably priced 350Z. Between the two vehicles, it's easy to tell that the G35 was designed as a more elegant vehicle compared to the 350Z's outright sports car design.
