If you bought a Mine's Skyline, keep in mind that by default this car has broken Air Conditioner, since those guys from Mine's said that the engine is lighter and easier to install when there's no Freon inside the A/C system. And they won't bother to refill it after the engine has been installed, so you'll need an alternative.

But aside of the freon issue, this car is utterly, stunningly, jawdroppingly brilliant. And oh, i still prefer to call this car a Mine's Skyline. Mine's GT-R is not that good for a name in my opinion. Expect a quickride soon..

I think GT-R is a bad name in general. Skyline was much better.

Yeah. I wonder why they're retiring it.

Apparently the Infiniti G35 and 37 is sold as Nissan Skyline in Japan, somehow..

They're not retiring it.. the Q50 based HV37 Skyline is the first out of the Skyline's to be an Infiniti before it was a Skyline, the V35 and V36's were about before the G35 and G37's respectively (albeit made with the American market in mind from the beginning)

13 generations of Skylines and only 6 gens available as a GT-R

Therefore it iss more Skyline to not have a GT-R :P

I sure hope they don't put freon in it. They should probably but R134 in that R35,

This owner is getting ripped off. A reputable technician will have a scale under this refrigerant bottle to charge you for what you use not what he estimates was used.

Of course the owner of this GTR probably doesn't care about a pound of refrigerant.
