Hey everybody!

I stumbled across this forum while trying to find info on tuning potential for the Stinger (practically nothing out there).
I'm mainly a Nissan guy, but in my search for a replacement for my Skyline i came across the Stinger and can't argue with it's features/potential. Test drove one the other weekend and the wife likes it too, so i'm betting there is a blue Stinger in my future.

Anyway, Looking forward to chatting with everybody, and getting my hands on a Stinger!

Welcome aboard, @Chappy! Thank you for signing up. As a Skyline owner - you MUST be a car enthusiast! Would you mind sharing some pictures of your car? That's a rare sight here in America.

Sure. Here are some pics from just after I imported it from Tokyo.

Skylines are not that rare in Australia because they are fairly easy to import, given Japan drives on the same side of the road as we do.

Ahh! That's our Infiniti G35 here in the states. I've always loved that car. Not so much the previous generation - but the one you have here really caught my eye. It's a great performer and has a nice blend of luxury. I think this is what Hyundai was going for with the Genesis Coupe - but fell short...

I think the V35 Skyline was the Infiniti G35 and i think this one was the Infiniti G37. At least that was the badging on the Infiniti branded option at the auctions when I was shopping for this one back in 2013.

There are plenty of R32 33 34 Skylines in Australia as well, but they are getting a bit old for my liking.

You're probably right - I have trouble telling them apart. They're very similar. I almost bought one a few years back but the deal fell through. The new ones always catch my eyes...
