You can get a real skyline realistically priced if you just look around, they are'nt all that expensive to begin with.

Hi,
I am new here :) this is a cool place. Ok on the skyline kit, I am working on making body panels to work with 89-93 240sx coupe body style. It will be much more affordable. I am not making it look exact. But it will be close. Keep my site in mind. Have a wonderful holiday and God bless.

If youre in the mood for a Skyline GTR there is a way to get a 'skyline r35' in the US. Perhaps youve seen these beauties driving around near you but not realized what they are.
The Infinity G35 is the american version of the Japanese Skyline.
To convert it all you'd need is a new 4wd G35 (Coupe or Sedan, youre choice but Id prefer the coupe) and some nissan badges (Myabe froma new or older Maxima. The Badges replace the Infinity ones in the interior, and the badge on the back. eBay may have the skyline badge for cheap.
The front grille will need replacement, you may be able to buy one from a nissan dealer from japan and get it shipped stateside.For the GTR look, be sure your G35 is 4wd (offered on 2004 models).
Slap some GTR badges on the car, put a rear diffuser bumper and rear wing on, and get a front spoiler lip and side sills. Im sure the ricer aftermarket will spawn some of these soon if they havent already.
For a real GTR (sorta) you may want to think about a TwinTurbo kit or an engine swap from the M45 or Q45. Depending on how far youd like to ge with it you could have a brand new skyline for less than 31000 dollars, or a V8 GTR for maybe 50k. Not that anyone here would really want to cannibalize a beautiful new Infinity G35 Coupe, right? Just a thought JTX |

let me clear something up. The Skyline chassis is not offered in any american car in production,execpt for the G35 sport coupe and 350z because the g35 is the skyline(not GTR, because it is supposed to come out in 2006)in japan. also, a maxima is nothing like a skyline and anyone who has ever seen one, should know that a maxima isnt even worthy enough to have the same tires on it. Plus, the maxima is front wheel drive, 4 door, and has no bodyparts that even resemble a skyline. Now, a Silvia/240sx is nothing like a Skyline either, because Silvia is kind of like a mini-me version of a Skyline.Also a Skyline has a RB26DETT (a 2.6L twin-turbo straight six), the maxima has a SR20DE (a 2.0 liter 4-banger) and a Silvia has a SR20DET (a 2.0 liter turbo-charged 4 cylinder) and a 240sx has a KA20DE (a 2.0 liter truck 4 cylinder).
Know if you dont know what your talking about, please dont speak, cause your making yourself sound stupid
P.S. the 200sx is a 2-door version of the weak maxima, and it sucks too.

Hmm. I guess that 'Know if you dont know what your talking about, please dont speak, cause your making yourself sound stupid' came in your post a little too late, eh? Maybe you missed the big banner and the site address, so I'll go ahead and help you out: the site is called "kitcars.com." Now, let me clear something up. The Skyline chassis IS - offered on an American-production car. You said that it wasn't, then that it was. There are some very nice Maximas out there, and you're being a snob. You say that the Sylvia isn't like a Skyline...except that is is like a Skyline...except that it's a weak 2-door Maxima...except that it's rear wheel drive...except that the Maxima is front wheel drive. Good lord, son. Make up your damned mind! I can appreciate your enthusiasm, but it's pretty clear that you don't own a Skyline, you don't understand what the topic here is about, and you're not taking your meds. But hey, welcome to the party. Your pal,
Meat.

Meat,
200sx and 240sx are two different cars, my guess is that you were speed reading and mistook one for the other in DemonSkylines post.
The Skyline chassis is sold in the US as the G35 under the Infinity badge, but that has been established already. Im not sure how nissan is going to sell the GTR in the US, wether under the Infinity moniker or as a Nissan. My guess is that it will be sold as a "Infinity GTR35" or something to that effect.JTX |

I don't think America will ever get a skyline  atleast mass produced. All the changes the car would have to go through it will be like newer 200sx or 240sx which ever is supposed to be the silvia which is a bad a** car over seas but sh*ty here. I called a customs agent bout importing a skyline he laughed at me so i hung up and pretty much demed my options over. As for ebay you guys ar crazy 40-50 thousand i'll pass u can get one in the states for like 15,000 just converting it and knowing what has to be. So in general face it guys half the time the U.S. gets f*cked in the butt when it comes to cars. If we get the nice ones everything is changed around look at bmws even for chirst sake.

The Skyline R35 will be the same chassis as the infiniti G35 (for US peeps) The engine will be a twin turbo varient of the VQ35DE, thats in the G35,350Z,04-Altima,and 04-Maxima. It will officially be called the VQ33DETT, The compression will be brought down to a more turbo friendly one, so the engine discplacement will go down slightly. 3.3L instead of 3.5L. The stock power is looking to be around 400hp. All aluminum engine, super lightweight, its a short engine too, it will be more of a front midship than a front engine, because the engine or most of it is placed behind the front axle. Cheers,
BB

I totally agree about USA never getting the skyline, although there have been rumors floating on certain nissan boards that hint it. But until i see one i wont believe it.The S15 silvia (is ****ing bonus. 250hp 2.0L turbo 4cyl) called 200sx in Aus, and Nz im not sure where else, 240sx in america. I think they called it 240sx because when the silvia first came out america it didnt get the standard 2.0L (Sr20det), like you said be go ****erd, instead we got the Ka24de a 2.4L heavy ass NA engine with less power. and even when USA imported the NA varient of the Sr20det, the sr20de, they stuck with the name 240sx, even though it related to an earlier engine model. On another note:
I dont mean to slam american car companies, but it took them over 10 years to realize the benefits of a 4cyl. turbo. ie new Dodge neon Srt-4. 2.4L turbo 4cyl ~235hp~245tq?? i think.
10 yrs ago Mitsu had one, Toyota had one, Nissan had one, Honda didnt but they had the typeR integra with 1.8L=194hp(low torque though). What do you think held them back until today?
What is there emphasis on Big boned V8s?

Im not sure, but fiber glass sounds right to me. Either way, plastic or Fiber glass the point is that US makes all these rules that "their" own cars dont abide by.
You know, i read somewhere that the place that imports skylines and "converts" them to US standards (DOT&EPA)had to crash 5-10 brand new skylines before they were allowed to import them and convert the exhaust and emissions stuff. If you look at the brand new sticker price of a new skyline in Japan, like $40,000 USD. Thats basically throwing away 200K-400K just to be Allowed to import. Not to mention the costs for storage and workshop and labor to change over the emissions equipment. No wonder they charge around 40-50 thousand for a used R33 skyline. They prolly are still overcoming their costs on the crash testing.
As long as emissions are at the apprpriate level, i think the crash testing shi* should be left to the owner. If the car crumples, its your problem. Why does the govt. care about crash testing and make all kinds of restrictions and laws against it, when drinking and driving in some states only warrants a ticket!!??

Reeeally. Huh. Gosh. 10 years, eh? Let's see... The Dodge Daytona Turbo Z began production in 1984 (that's 19 years ago).
The Shadow/Lancer Turbo was in production in 1988 (that's 15 years ago).
The Dodge/Shelby cars were being produced in 1987 (that's 16 years ago).
The Chevy Monza Spyder went into production in 1962, and was the first production turbocharged automobile offered for sale (that's 41 years ago).
The Ford Mustang SVO was in production in 1984, as was the Mustang GT Turbo (that's 19 years ago).
And the Ford Probe was offered in GT trim with a turbo 4 starting in 1989 - while it was a Mazda/Ford joint, it was in production 14 years ago. ...and that's just off the top of my head (I didn't bother to include the Buick Grand National - which went into production in 1984, and was the fastest production car (boasting more HP than the Corvette) in 1986 - because it had six cylinders, rather than four). Slam American cars all you want to, but here's a hint for the future: KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. Otherwise you end up sounding like a jackass, and your tuff-guy "slams" end up as nothing more than the blitherings of the village idiot...and your "slams" end up as being completley ineffectual. Y'know, like they did here. Your pal,
Meat.

"Im not sure, but fiber glass sounds right to me." - bowserbub. You lost your argument with your very first sentence, and called into question everything else you wrote in your post. For the record, the Viper is made of resin-transfer-molded plastic. Also - just so you know better in the future - fiberglass in automotive usage isn't fiberglass; it's FRP, which stands for "fiberglass reinforced plastic." Which also invalidates your "Either way, plastic or Fiber glass" comment; automotive "fiberglass" is plastic. Further, your "point" that you were attempting to make is completely incorrect; the governing bodies that make the requirements for the U.S. are there for ALL production cars. If you want to sell lots of cars in the United States, you must meet those requirements. Further, converting cars does NOT require crash-testing of ANY cars; the cars being converted must meet separate guidelines regarding safety and emissions. There are many imported cars in the U.S. None of them were crash tested. As I said before, KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. Clearly, you do not. Again. Your pal,
Meat.

Oh my Lord. "I'm glad sombody realizes sometimes i think the u.s. officals are jealous." - 4.3L That's just plain stupid. Surely you cannot possibly be so ignorant that you would actually believe that. Then again, reading your post is an exercise in why we need more and better teachers in public schools, so maybe you actually believe that government workers go out of their way to create legislation and enforce code because they're ... "jealous." In either case - whether you actually believe that or not - you're so completely wrong, it's virtually impossible to respond to your post without pointing and laughing at you. But respond I must, because there may actually be someone out there who is dumb enough to believe you. Although I sincerely doubt it. The United States government is not jealous of anyone. We are the strongest and most productive country in the world. Our government does not make laws or enforce quotas or engage in something as petty as not allowing cars into the country because they may be faster than the cars we produce. The job of the government is to protect the health and welfare of its citizens. The laws the government makes regarding importation of automobiles from other countries or even the production of automobiles in this country are there to protect the citizens of the United States of America. If you are going to import or build more than a certain number of cars - or if you are going to build cars that will be hired for livery - then they have to meet very strict guidelines. The guidelines are there because somewhere along the line it became necessary to tell someone that a non-collapsible steering wheel could kill someone; because it became necessary to let manufacturers know that a car without crumple zones could kill someone; because it became necessary to tell manufacturers that the survivability of a driver in a car with airbags was better than in a car without them; and the list goes on... In conclusion, your world view is stunted. You have no real-world experience. You know nothing about the way the government operates, or anything about automobiles. You should stay away from kit cars until you know something...anything. Your pal,
Meat.

All i'm tying to say is i dont see how the U.S. will allow someone in a viper which is more fragile then a skyline yet they say the skyline is to fragile. As for me knowing bout kit cars i have little knowledge i admit that is why i came here. As for cars look at the 5th ranked worlds fastest quarter mile stock car i was part of that thank you.

No, 4.3L, all you're saying is that you don't know what you're talking about. WHO said the Skyline is "too fragile?" Show me one sanctioning government body that said that. Show me somewhere where it says that a Viper is more "fragile" than a Skyline. If you cannot do so - which you can't - then you don't know what you're talking about. As for 5th ranked worlds fastest quarter mile stock car...who cares? Someone else did it; not you. Get an education. Your pal,

No. Incorrect. You are not entitled to an opinion. There isn't anything anywhere that says that you are entitled to an opinion. What you have done is built up in your mind an absolutely absurd and totally malformed aberration, which you then labeled as an "opion." What you see as "somthing isn't right" isn't based at all on reality, in any way, shape or form. You have not done the research, you do not know what you're talking about, and your ... "opion" ... is completely incompetent. And you're completely wrong; I don't know alot about cars. But I do know a hell of a lot more about them than you do. And it would seem that I know a hell of a lot more about how and why the cars on the road are able to be on the road in the United States of America, too. So just drop it. There is nothing you can say at this point that is going to give you any credence. Just walk away. Your pal,
Meat.

Hi guys,
I am not here to argue with anyone. But I think it is practicle to turn an s13 240sx(1989-1993) into a skyline R32. People put Skyline engine and tranny in s13 240sx all the time. Agian, I am not here to argue with anybody. Kit cars are for those who has less funds, but have every rights to fullfill his or her dreams. I hope to have the look like out in late 2004. That's all folks :)

The Buick Grand National, now thats a nice engine.pat kalsmith,
I have seen someone convert their 99-2002 honda accord coupe into a Skyline R34 look-a-like. I dont think it was going for measured exact, but more for the general look. That engine bay holds a 3.0 liter engine. So fitting in a Skyline engine into that car would be possible, then again many things are with enough work.

Yeah, that's so true. What with the going price of a nice Cobra replica starting at around $40K, or a Diablo that starts to look good after you're into it $30K, or any of the neoclassics - where the prices start at $25K - truly, this is a hobby for those who have "less" funds. Yeah. Sure. Right. Nothing like having a disposable income that starts at $30K to buy a toy you don't need, that you won't use all the time. Geez. Your pal,

I like that idea. :) A guy locally had a front end wrecked El Camino, and a rear damaged Grand National.... He combined the 2 and it came out very nice. El Grand National, lol.

Ok I don't know what you guys are whinging about. First the silvias, 240sx and the 200sx are all the same car, except for the pop up light version which is called the 180sx here!! Second the infinity G35 is the new skyline, just rebadged for the US market. No the skyline doesn't have the "stove top" tail lights anymore (although the GTR will when it is released in 2006). The GTR is not the only skyline, so go and look for the cheaper models and bodykit them!!!Hope this helps Your mate in OZ Dave

okay, it looks like yall almost got it, let me set yall strait. i aint come here to argue, just to get the nissan facts strait oky..
#1. the skyline has never shared a platform with ANY OTHER CAR since it came out in 1967, that includes four door and two door models(which came out in 70, or 71.) the nissan silvia came out in 75 i think, but the only info i know for sure is tha the USA got the S12, s13, rps13, and S14 silvia models (japan got s15 model) all se modles came with 4wheel disc brakes, i think ABS, not sure, and 5 lug (that means the things on the brake disks that go in the holes of the rim to bolt on the lug nuts that keeps the rims on. im sure yall knw that tho .
the s12 was called a 200sx in the us. came with a N/A 2.0 liter inline 4 (i think the engine was called the FJ20E)
The s13 models we got we called 240sx (due to the N/A 2.4 liter KA24DE-165 hp/155lb/ft for all models (in se models, Dfor dual overhead cam, and KA24E engines for non se)
japan got two s13's. the 1989-97 or '98 180 sx (240sx hatchback w/ flip-up headlights (CA18DET-180ish hp, SR20det in 1995+ typeX models) and 1989-94 S13 silvia models (Sr20det- 200hp for all models, exept s15spec R- 250hp). we know those as the 240sx coupe, but the had 180sx fronts here in US. commonly called 180-via in japan
the s14 silva is what we know as the 1995-1998 240sx with the KA24DE. the Zenki model is the 1995-96 model with the less aggresive headlights that look like 1995-98 R33 Skylines (which is what i think some of yall are trying to say the 240 and the maxima is the same thing as), and the Kouki model is the one from 1997-1998 with headligths that look a bit more r34ish. the only difference in the two s14 models is the headlights and hood and maybe the front fenders.
us models had 2.4 KA engines while japanese and europe got turbo 2.0 SR20det. only Japan got 1998-2000 S15 silvias as far as i know. all silvias had sr20det, all 240's had ka24(d)e and were RWD. in europe, Silvia was 200sx and RWD. after 88, 1990-1995 200sx only in america became sentra based SR20DE (not turbo)and FWDima redline inline 4's untill i flat-line Nissan 4 life |

skyline has a history too long for me too post. http://www.paulobecker.hpg.ig.com.br/skyline_gallery_01.html
theres and idea of what all the models from 1967-1984 were like
then came the r30's and r31's, then the r32, r33,and r34. the r32 was the first skyline since the mid 70's to have the GTR badge and sport a twin turbo inline 6(rb26dett) the r32-r34 GT-R Spec V II, Spec V, Spec M's had the same power limited 280 hp engine. around 330 when limiter overidden. all GT-R's and GT-S-4 have all wheel drive. GT-R's have Super Hicas all wheel stering (so did Super hicas 240sx and 300zx and Silvias K's i think). Regular skyline sedans(r32-r34) had rear wheel drive and RB20de inline six engines, as did the base coupes. the GT-S sedans and coupes had rear wheel drive and RB25det engines. the new infinity G35's ARE R35 skylines. go to www.nissan.co.jp if you dont belive me. gt-r comes out in 2005 or 6. i think 2005 in Japan, 2006 in America (finally).
and to the stang lovers, i wouldnt go playing with a GTR if i were you. 13.3 STOCK 1/4 mile times and .93g on the skidpad. that doesnt even count the special edition Nismo versions. im not even going to go on about how fast you can make these things.the bottom ends of the engines can hold up more than 800 hp, but the most ive seen out of a rb26 is 1200, and it was a daily driver . dont belive me, look it up. a simple twin turbo upgrade can get these things more than 400hp.
oh well, good look getting a Skyline, hope you find a good one. everybody have a good day/night. peace out.ima redline inline 4's untill i flat-line Nissan 4 life |

okay, it looks like yall almost got it, let me set yall strait. i aint come here to argue, just to get the nissan facts strait oky..
#1. the skyline has never shared a platform with ANY OTHER CAR since it came out in 1967, that includes four door and two door models(which came out in 70, or 71.) the nissan silvia came out in 75 i think, but the only info i know for sure is tha the USA got the S12, s13, rps13, and S14 silvia models (japan got s15 model) all se modles came with 4wheel disc brakes, i think ABS, not sure, and 5 lug (that means the things on the brake disks that go in the holes of the rim to bolt on the lug nuts that keeps the rims on. im sure yall knw that tho.
the s12 was called a 200sx in the us. came with a N/A 2.0 liter inline 4 (i think the engine was called the FJ20E)
The s13 models we got we called 240sx (due to the N/A 2.4 liter KA24DE-165 hp/155lb/ft for all models (in se models, Dfor dual overhead cam, and KA24E engines for non se)
japan got two s13's. the 1989-97 or '98 180 sx (240sx hatchback w/ flip-up headlights (CA18DET-180ish hp, SR20det in 1995+ typeX models) and 1989-94 S13 silvia models (Sr20det- 200hp for all models, exept s15spec R- 250hp). we know those as the 240sx coupe, but the had 180sx fronts here in US. commonly called 180-via in japan
the s14 silva is what we know as the 1995-1998 240sx with the KA24DE. the Zenki model is the 1995-96 model with the less aggresive headlights that look like 1995-98 R33 Skylines (which is what i think some of yall are trying to say the 240 and the maxima is the same thing as), and the Kouki model is the one from 1997-1998 with headligths that look a bit more r34ish. the only difference in the two s14 models is the headlights and hood and maybe the front fenders.
us models had 2.4 KA engines while japanese and europe got turbo 2.0 SR20det. only Japan got 1998-2000 S15 silvias as far as i know. all silvias had sr20det, all 240's had ka24(d)e and were RWD. in europe, Silvia was 200sx and RWD. after 88, 1990-1995 200sx only in america became sentra based SR20DE (not turbo)and FWD
