"I found this while hunting for some Formula Drift Thailand pictures on Jeremy Soh’s Facebook account. A huge hat tip to him! Not quite sure who’s car this is and would love any more information/tips if you can provide them in our comment section but it looks like his e-brake handle has been designed into a samurai sword which is the best e-brake setup I have seen on a drift car to date."

GT-R badge on a 350Z??
*facepalm*

I remember there was some douchebag at humber with one done up like that. I dont care how many GT-R parts you got under the hood....spend the $$$ on the real thing or STFU and GTFO. poser, through & through. Every bit as tasteless as putting an S600 badge onto an S430, or putting on a MazdaSpeed3 badge onto your regular 3 (or brembo stickers onto your corolla calipers)

In response to the original post....I guess its kinda cool....unique, at the very least. I certainly wouldnt rock it in a daily driver, but for a dedicated drift car its kinda neat. A lot of the drift guys put really unique touches into their cars, and I always enjoying spotting the little details like this one. $0.02

Ummm... its a G35 not a 350Z, and in Japan was sold as the Skyline (and hence GT-R models badge). So its actually really no different than people who badge Axela on their 3's. Which is common, and generally not frowned upon. Research before *facepalm*

and here is Mike with his R35

shit you're right it totally is a G35. Nissan really sold G35s branded as skyline gt-r in Japan? Woah, thats even more disturbing than the original illicit re-badging....thats like taking a big dirty shit on the hood of any *real* skyline gt-r :\

And in the context of a North American conversion, I still think its wrong. Where I'm from, GT-R stands for something *far* more impressive than what you're likely to finagle from even the most expensive G35. Anyways, thats just my opinion....we live in a country where you can pretty much do and say as you choose - it looks like this guy has done just that. All the more power to him, I suppose.

Im not sure the G35 version (as we know it) was ever a GT-R though. I know they were Skylines though.

Also, That Samurai E-Brake is cool.

[STeeLy]

G35 is a Skyline, but they were never sold as GT-Rs as far as I know.

Nissa decided to split the GT-R off into their own separate line. The R35 isn't a Skyline GT-R, it's a GT-R.

well, at least this Mike Tran guy owns a *real* GT-R, and a very nice one at that :D
