you are a dream crusher hahah.


you can always sneak a r32 or r33 in U.S from canada and register it as a s13 or s14 but youre gonna be in a big risk losing both your money and the car if you get caught

r34 and s15 thats probably a never for you

Check the for sale threads...there are a couple in ga. There is an automatic r32 for 18k...thats the lowest you will find. Plus if your going to go through all the work you might as well go for awd gtr otherwise you might aswell have an s14. an s15 will be 10x harder to get than a gtr

I have two friends that have R33's. They got them for 18,000 CASH. If you have the money for that plus insurance is going to rape you, go ahead.

Is that how much people pay for them over there

over here R33 are the most common import, like 'my first import' or a car that people who arent really into cars will buy.
Can pick a R33 Gtst up for about 5k, GTR for less than 20. where as say a decent condition stock s14 kouki will be about 10k

cant belive people pay so much for a boat over there just because its a bit rare

A bit rare? Yeah, they aren't even legal anymore. I don't think they are worth the price tag either, but I guess people just really want a Skyline.

32 and 33 shells go cheap. Americas hat has a good bit of em hanging out.

If you want a complete skyline, that's a totally different story.

I found a roller for $2200 yesterday in the states. That's my plan after i screw my shit up enough making mistakes on the down lo dori......... It's hard not to like a 32.



Just gotta know where to look.

its funny on forums like this when people in the US go crazy over skylines but us canadians know how overhyped they are because they are so common up here.

Skylines aren't as good as everything thinks, maybe R34's but goddamn R32's aren't very good, you are better off getting an S14 with an SR.

GTR's ARE as good as everyone thinks.. iv driven a 32 gtr and a 33 gtr and both of those cars have been absolutely insane.. i cant really talk on prices and what not up in canada or in the states, but in Australia, a stockish 32 gtr can be had for sub $15 g's, and a stockish 33 gtr can be had for sub $20g's.. evo's on the other hand, are usually around 25 if not much higher..

i personally would much rather grab a 32 gtr and pump 10 grand into it, as opposed to getting a stock evo.. but thats just me..

so yeah, i rate skylines pretty highly.. (as long as we're talking about gtr's, if we're talking about gts-t's, then yeah, just get a sil of some sort and whack a 25 in there..)

yeah but this kid is in the states, where a gtr is illegal and over priced

whereas evos are like what, 12k-15k?

its a no brainer. evos are newer, faster, way easier to get parts for.

but whaaa, its not a super jdm rare unicorn!

Two things skylines aren't illegal, they can be registered legally in some states if you follow the guidelines and do what they ask of you.

I wouldn't consider the EVO to be faster than a skyline. They are faster than the gt or gt-m models and depending on which ones ur specifically talking about maybe faster than a gts-t. But they're not faster than a GTR. Besides the gtst and GTR models are a platform to achieve more power they have the tried and true RB motor which has more potential than the 4g63 (6 cyllinder bigger displacement) not to mention its always been my opinion that fwd based awd is complete fail.

Also take in mind that some ppl prefer Nissan to dsm. Personally I have never been a fan of Mitsubishit or any of their variants with the exception of the EVO VIII MR. But even then I would most likely opt for an STI if I was going the 4dr awd route

Skylines are overpriced I'll give you that and if it were me I would dump the budget I would've spent on the skyline on an S13 and build it up to be something truly magnificent

U can pickup a kool die cast r34 off eBay for like $30. On a side note, this thread is pointless.

all this legal talk.
what about if you claim its home made? and don't license it as JDM or Nissan or whatever!

kind of like a rat-rod,or the guy from south Florida that made Veyron.
