infini is real, GT-R is nissan as far as i know, sounds like a badge on a infini (if its a real infini even)
forgot about the jdp gt-r and gt-x

The GT-R is a base model... the Infini is the top spec... it should be rather obvious whether it's an Infini or not...

1. Is it dark (dark, dark, dark) green?

2. Does it have the badging?

3. Does it have the interior?

4. Does it have the aluminum hood?

well...

Lift the Hood DO it with 1 hand. If it's really really light then it's aluminum. If it isn't then it's steel...

Also, If u hit it u can tell the different sounds between Steel and Aluminum.. well atleast I can.

If you are still confused. You can mail me your car and I will check and maybe send it back

Infini's are based of the GT-X platform not the GT-R platform.
im am surpized to heard about your 87 white Infini as there are not that many left floating around. can you post some pictures?

should be something like this.


this is a picture of 87 Infini Ver I thats white. most of them came with a low profile rear spoiler like this. its not the same spoiler came on the sport's version in the states.

and in the picture he changed the taillights to S5 lights.

The Infini I through III were available in white.

For Initial D buffs, the FC in Initial D is a Infini III

But Infini models would not normally be designated GT-R or GT-X. I would suspect that either the previous owner tried to make a Infini or had a Infini and didn't understand the difference and put on the GT-R stickers.

the only difference with that spoiler compared to the sport one is it doesn't have a cutout for the 3rd brake light.

thats like saying the only difference between vert bbs wheels and infini bbs wheels are the infinis are 16".......... that would make them deffinently different in my book

all he said was that the wings were different than any other fc...... and he is correct..... it may be a minor thing, but none the less, its different

you can tell aluminium bonnetts from the steel by looking at the catch on the bonnett,steel bonnetts have the catch welded to the bonnett,aluminium have the catch rivited due to all catches being steel and you cant weld ali to steel
