this has been in a lot of posts, and the census is,
just buy a real onea kit would be very easily spoted, due to LHD not RHD, and a real one isnt that expensive, i say buy a R33 GTsT(250hp) and just put a GT-R body kit on it, although u can buy 'skyline GT-R' styles body kits for pretty much any tuner car from accords to integras, not a kit but still an option www.turbovisions.com is a good alternative to other *cough* higher priced skyline providers (motoRx) a R34 will cost u anywhere between 20-75,000 depending on what model you want, of cours the $50,000-$75,000 being a Twin turbo, AWD GT-R i like the body style of a R33, still low, agressive, but not over done. (a good example of a R33 GT-R skyline is the first silver skyline u see on the home page of turbo visions, a R-34 is like the blue and silver one in 2F2F, and a R-35 is the same body style as a Infinity G-35 coupe) and turbo visions will still help u try and get it legalized here in the states, seeing as the owner of the company and several moderators of the (turbovisions)forums all own and drive skylines here in the states. they have a very nice white R-33 Gts-T Type M for sale for only $17,000, id personally buy that and tune it then buy a kit and not have the performance

250hp with alot of rool to grow if i hadnt just quit my job and started back at school, id buy it so i know i say this alot but, just buy the real deal,you will be way happier, iv never done business with this company but iv talked to the owner Ben through emails and talked to a lot of the ppl on the forums a very enthusiastic group!

Why bother? The Point of the Skyline GTR is not just the 300 HP under the hood. One, you get ATTESTA, which is one of the best four-wheel-drive systems ever. It's one of the reasons why it handles so well. With a GTS-T, you would just get rear-wheel-drive heavy car w/250 HP. True, it could handle well, but not GTR well. Also, the RB25DET that's under the hood is a single turbo 2.5-liter motor that isn't as capable as the RB26DETT, the twin-turbo GTR motor. You would need more work on the RB25DET to get the same numbers. Just get a GTR. The R33 and R34 have slightly better lines, in my opinion, but the R32 does handle slightly better.

yea if i had the money to spend, with out a doubt id go get a R34 GT-R, but unfortunantly money is a factor, no a GTsT wont have the AWD or RB26DETT, but if i can get a R33 GTsT for one third of what it would cost me to get a R34 GT-R then i think thats a no brainer, you can always do a engine swap anyway, still wont have the AWD but damn close for the money! just as a R33 GTsT wont be as good as a R34 GTR, a R34 GT-R wont be as good as a R34 GT-R V-spec II, but then they are all in different price rangesMatt '96 Jaguar XJ6(burgundy)

ok this is what i would do if i was you is buy a 95 to a 98 s14 or a s15 i would go for the s15 you can probley pick 1 up for around $9,000 to $12,000 or less for a good 1 then swap the engine to a rb26 DeTT engine out of a r33 or r34 for abot $3,400 and yes they do make rhd and a ALL wheel drive kit for the s14 and s15 and they make a lot of r33 and r34 body kits and if its done right you cant even tell its a s15 or s14 i seen it done before just last week a guy was selling a RHDs15 for 12,000 on e bay and theres about 5 to 6 skylines there aswell
yep yep every 1 owns a skyline right to bad theres only about 20 in the U.S. to get a skyline from japan is really hard to pass U.S. customs and you cant own a car in japan that has over 30,000 miles on it

Ok here's my plan, go to http://www.wickedbodies.net/ buy a skyline body kit for an Acura Legend, and do a Toyota TT swap and tune in up from there, they can easily push 1000 hp if you do it right

Where is your info comming from and how did you come up with it? 20 skylines in the US? I could have one at my front door in a week if I chose to . Also this whole 30k mile on a car deal where is that coming from ? go to www.turbovisions.com as mentioned above and by the real deal. Oh and seeing there are only 20 in the US currently today is your lucky day. they have at least 4 of the 20 ready to be in your garage....lol

Yeah im sure you have one. You spell like a 4th grader. And You got ripped. I can get a 96 R33 GTST-M for 18k http://www.turbovisions.com/catalog/item/1862037/1291844.htm . You show me the Law From a Japanese transportation site that says you cant own a car with more then 30k on it and I will beleive you. Once again 20 in the USA...lol Your a joke. Im sure you dont have the slightest clue on what it takes to get a Skyline ready for the road in the USA. ***The Nissan Skyline was not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable FMVSS. Such a vehicle that is less than 25 years old can only be lawfully imported into the U.S. if (1) it is determined eligible for importation by NHTSA and (2) it is imported by an RI or by a person who has a contract with an RI to bring the vehicle into compliance with all applicable FMVSS within 120 days of entry.*** And since you have no clue you can read up on it here. http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/FAQ%20Site/pages/page10.html#Anchor-I.%20Impor-16426 Shipping by Cargo ship will run 1000-1500 USD .

hey dude,
save yourself the money and aggravation.get yourself a subaru wrx sti or build a kit lambo and sell it to upgrade if you want the skyline. coming from a former nissan owner i sunk over 30grand into my 300zxtt and those gd wrx still gave me trouble. i never even got close to what i put into it when i sold it.in my opinion the wrx is the new supercar.plus if you dont have the green to buy one you defiantly wont be able to afford the upkeep.take it from someone who's nissan put him in the red.luckly i smarten up and started building diablos.
good luck

you are such a bad ass.i almost fell off my chair laughing at your response.i get that from all the little fast and the furious want a be's.when i had my nissan i got all the bad info one could ever ask for from these guys.i have always been a fan of cool cars,but the mentality of these kind of guys turned me off, form owning one of the so called tuner cars.i would get stuff like somebodies cousin had a civic that had a v-spec or what ever the hell they put into those things that had over 800hp.not that its not possible but why would you dump that kind of cash into a economy car.at least get a supra or a wrx,or if your budget is light get a 300zxtt.im so happy to be forever out of that circle and on to building diablos.
thanks for the kicks

Skylines are simply overated in my opinon, i have seen 3 of them in my life time and they arent nothing great. I wouldnt pay that kind of money for a car that can't out perform cars like the acura NSX or the Toyota Supra let alone a Corvette or Viper. I understand that its exotic and rare but at that price of 50k for a R33 or nearly 100k for the R34 id rather buy a Viper GTS because i know thats fast straight out of the box and it doesnt cost that much, it looks better. The Skyline you would have to spend more money on performance parts in order to go fast.why are repilcas so expensive?! |

Overrated...hmmm . Im not sure about that. I have been in one and it was fast...I would even say faster then a NSX by far.Not that the NSX is anything to brag about. The one I was in hade a few mods but nothing very major. Once again. WOuld I buy one..No. But I do like the car 1995 Taurus SHO Supercharged...418HP at the front wheels.

yea a viper is fast out of the box, but from what iv heard it doesnt handle all that great, and iv seen probly 20 vipers on the roads around here in my life time (greensboro, NC) as well as probly 20 *******s, 5 lamborghinis, NSX's, 911's, maseratis out the ass and every other car is a mercedes or a BMW, but have i ever seen a skyline? never...even in highschool kids drove Vettes, BMW M's and saleen mustangs its worth the money in my opinion, id like to buy one one day but i dont know if i could ever justiy it. it can easily reach 350-400hp with just BPU, not even getting into bigger turbos, and with the AWD ur gonan get a way better launch then say a vette or a viper. and thats only in a straight line. take it to a track and no RWD american car (in the same price range$35k-$100k) will have a chance. regardless it is a car you have to have respect for...
as for looks, no i dont think its the greatest looking sports car in the world, but it deff is different, but if u want all the goodies on a better body go get one of the Tommy Kaira cars Matt '96 Jaguar XJ6(burgundy)

whats faster a super modded supra or a super modded skyline? they are both great cars to own. can both of them beat vettes, sti,evos and even vipers? i wonder what would the kids think if you pulled up in a modded skyline next to their sti? will they race you? or back down? but anyways i always wanted a supra or skyline as well. they are very nice cars to have.

kitcarguy,
all of the car you mentioned are somewhat similar excect for the viper with the v-10,raw horsepower and the amount of cash you have sunk in them is the answer.the nissan i built beat many cars including old mens stock viper.granted they probably didnt know how to drive,but on the other hand i had a turbocharged car with 520hps to play with.ive also been smoked by nasty 5.0s and one hell worked wrx.its all in the amount of cash under the hood.before i owned my nissan i had a 71 corvette that i bought off of my buisness partner this was the fastest car i have ever driven off the line it was set up for brut power it had a 1990 ls-1 with a massive holly carb and a stroker cam with other mods.but that car was a totally differant feel than the nissan that would of caught it in the higher gears.i would love to get intouch with the dude who built that vette engine and drop that into my diablo project.as for if the kids would race you like i said in my earlier message they belive because they seen it in a movie that there suzuki sidekick can beat a mclaren with a exhaust and a cold air intake.they will race anyone.

Supras are some of the best tunner cars that money can buy but there is kind of a problem and that is if you want that car to go faster that what it is well you better have more money that what you paid for the car. Supras that can beat stock lambos and *******s arent cheap and they will easly hit the 100k mark. I have seen Supras beat everything from stock real lambos to ******* 360s to Z06 Corvettes but the only car that i have seen a modifed Supra get smoked by was modifed Vipers, moded Corvettes and moded Fbodys. I do believe in the performance of Supras and what they can do as with a Skyline well i have only seen it beat a stock lambo where the driver didnt know who to drive the car thus he lost and plus the Skyline was modifed. Otherwise I have seen Skylines lose to Supras, there videos of an R32 getting smoked by a Camaro. There is a Video where a Skyline R34 get walked badly by a Viper at a dragstip in Japan. I think Skylines are all show and no go because i have yet to see them do anything remarkable like the Supras have. I have only heard ruomrs about them making 550bhp off light mods but i have yet to see that. why are repilcas so expensive?! |

The problem is that the Skyline is a very expensive car already as is and by the time you get the BPU and all the other upgrades you could have already had the money the to buy a used Diablo VT! thats just toooo much money for a car wearing a Nissian badge. The car is overpriced because its about 80k and its got less than 300hp so pretty much any ZR1 or C5 would smoke a Skyline at the track or at the strip, the only way the Skyline would win thats if the driver in the vette doesnt know how to drive it. I have only heard rumors about Skylines and when they are upgraded i have never seen there True performance like i have with Supras and Vipers on the highway.

i agree 100%, i think the cheaper GT-Rs are worth the money id never pay $50k+! like u said for what ud pay for a new skyline and to tune it you could get a used Diablo, or a 456, maserati, used aston martin or maybe a 550, there is even a F360 challenge race car for $86,000 on ebay... but then again u could actually DRIVE the nissan every day.. u couldnt a lambo or fur-rar-i, all are great cars with good points and bad points... but i kind of think of the skyline like a impreza STI... i thinkt he STI is wa over priced.. id never buy a new one.... but if i could pick up a used one for 1/2 the price im there....as for the super.. also a very great car.. and ur right abouth those getting expensive too... go to suprastore.com and look at the cars they have for sale... 800-1000HP supras go for at or above $100,000, and thats for a 10 year old toyota? but people will pay that...

Not seeing a car doesn't mean it's a great car. I've only seen one Fiat X 1/9 over here... not great cars. I've only seen one 80's Audi Quattro, ok, cool car, but not great. So, would I rather be known as "The one guy in the Skyline" or "The one out of 10 360 owners in the area"... the ******* wins. Besides, if you really want a fun Nissan, get a Z32. I had a 300ZXTT, and that was plenty of car. And plenty of insurance money. Thumbs up for the SHO. Had a 95 - amazing sleeper cars. But for the money, the Skyline (Especially R33's and R34's) is not worth importing, no matter how rare or fast they are. Not to mention they are near impossible to legalize. eBay always has a few skylines for sale, cheap. You may want to check out that options. Oh, and 30,000 miles is a lie. Japan has outrageous taxes on used/older cars to keep car turnover high to support their economy.

Over 2000usd a month for car insurance? Lmfao. What a joke. And also If you had a skyline your parents purchased for you....Im sure there would be at least one digital camera in your house. I know if I had a skylne I would have pictures with it everywhere. Just so people like me wouldnt call bull **** on you. Also I wouldnt add to the fire by showing everyone a cheap photoshop image. As far as the Taurus SHO goes you dont have a clue. Judging by your comment you have no clue as to what kind of car it is, Or what can be done with it. But anyway. Im sure you are a punk ass kid who dreams one day you will have a fast and furious Civic. Its ok though. You have to start somewhere. Everyone does. And now you are looking for a image of a skyline on the Net and hoping nobody has seen it yet. I think your parents need to uunplug your computer for the summer.Good luck with photoshop
Also I would like to see a pic of your Nismo..When you take it would you do us all a favor and take a pic of the radio....tune it to 99.1 Fm and below the radio get a piece of paper and write www.kitcars.com on it. lets use blue ink. Hell even put a smiley face on it for good measure. ...And I did the math real quick. according to you ....your yearly insurance payment is $28,414.32. For about $2000 more you could just buy the 2003 EVO 8 on www.turbovisions.com

Just exterior shots.It is apart due to a blown Cam.( I hope thats all)And I should say 418 would be a estimate. It has not been on a dyno. On my 9psi Kit they claim 400Hp at the flywheel 355-365 WHP on a stock motor. But I have several other mods such as BB butterflies, 80mm MAF, SHO Shop Ypipe, And so on. So I will change my Sig as it could be off. If you dont know A SHO is one of those cars that has a temper and usually runs on its own terms. Well Mine anyway. Also Im hoping to have it at New England Dragway in a few weeks. It would be the First Track runs it has had. If you are in the Area drop me a Message and Take a look at it in person. 1995 Taurus SHO Supercharged...418HP at the front wheels.
