No Really, this is a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spider and it's Powered by a Subaru Turbo Boxer!

Don't let the Nissan 350Z snout and the Infiniti G35 Coupe (JDM Nissan Skyline V35) rear end design fool you; the glitzy painted roadster model you're gawking at is in fact a JDM Mitsubishi Eclipse Spider - possibly a third generation model. But before you try to digest all that info let us quickly add that Paint Star's Tokyo Auto Salon project car also hides a Subaru-sourced 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four engine under its 350Z-shaped hood. See the rest of the photos in our image gallery after the break.

Access Evolution Dips the Nissan Skyline / Infiniti G37 in Charcoal

Jon Sibal, in what appears to be a wheel search for a new Challenger 'chop (can't wait) has some pics of this JDM Nissan Skyline V36, or as we know it here in the States, the Infiniti G37, done-to-to-the-bone by Access Evolution. Those spider webs inside the tires are Forgiatto GTRs, and they're not getting any love from anybody...except me. They look like they belong on a futuristic sports car, but certainly look nice on the Skyline.

The rest of the body kit comes from Access Evolution's Exclusive Sport collection: badgeless grille (￥68,750 / $805), carbon fiber front lip spoiler (￥99,750 / $1,168), carbon fiber trunk spoiler (￥52,500 / $615), fiber-reinforced plastic trunk spoiler (￥36,750 / $430), and two brake kits. The big kit features 355 mm discs / 4-piston calipers (￥268,000 / $3,139), and the smaller kit has 2-piston calipers and 320 mm discs (￥59,000 / $691).

For me, the whole matte black thing is way past done, resulting in the coolest detail of the whole car being those loud green calipers (very similar to the color highlighting the interior of Techart's Panamera Concept One). Definitely neat.

Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 with R35 Fascia: Stud or Dud?

Found over at our JDM-loving friends at 'Farm of Mind', is this cosmetically modified Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. As you can see in the pictures above and below, the owner of the Japanese sports coupe kitted out the R34 with the new GT-R R35's fascia.

Even though we don't have many photos to go by, at a first glance the conversion looks fairly decent from a technical point of view. However, we'll let you decide if it's a 'stud' or a 'dud'. Have your say in the comments section after the jump.

Nissan Skyline GT-R Replica Built on Acura Legend

We've yet to find a more irrational clone of the Nissan Skyline GT-R than this one that was based on a BMW 3-Series E36 Coupe, but we reckon today's eBay finding comes pretty close. Built upon a second-generation 1994 Acura Legend (most likely the coupe), the 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 replica is powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the Legend's V6 engine that produces in standard form 240-horsepower. The eBay seller guestimates that the modified V6 generates around 360-horsepower - don't take this figure for granted though. Hit the jump for more photos.
