Guest KONFLIKT Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 THE NESSAN R34 GTR SKYLINE IS IN ALL THE INPORT MAGS. BUT I CANT FIND A PLACE TO BUY THEM. I LOOKED AROUND THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE THE MOST POPULAR SPORTS CAR IN JAPAN BUT IT DOSN'T SAY WHERE I CAN BUY THEM. DOES ANYONE KNOW? http://pacific.photoisland.com/sessions/43036482301/10148479md.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.T Boy Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 maybe in japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 They probably just havent been introduced in the US yet. Maybe never at all. Many times they have cars in Japan that never make it out here in the states. The only way to get it is to ship it over or wait and see if they release it out here.

REGULATOR Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 if you want one that bad go to japan and buy one, then pay the 10,000 dollars shipping fee to have it sent back to the U.S.....skylines are about as comman as ford escorts in japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 The import scene is pretty big in the bay isn't it? Ask around maybe someone can give you some insider info on whether it will be built and released in the US. The Nissan Skyline the Montana Paint of Cars.

When Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Originally posted by T.T Boy man we dont even get mitsubishi eclipses here. eclipses are bitch cars anyways what the hell you want a skyline for anyways? its not gonna be worth the effort in the end im guessing, and for the money your spending on it you could build something much faster... fucking ricky racer kids are all over my damn town, they make me sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suet one Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 skyline i heard they not going to make them in us cause they come with too much horse power stock... . not sure tho.. . i dont even have a car :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seppuku Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 heh, jeez.... even if you had the money to buy the car and get it shipped from japan, it wouldn't pass america's emission requirements, therefore you couldnt drive it. motorex ( http://www.skylinegtr.com/ ) can take care of that for you. they have been the sole importer of gt-r's for a few years now.. but if you're really gonna get the car, be prepared to shell out 50k+.

fr8oholic Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 thank you sepppuka. they're not in production over here. end of story. i also read that they're being discontinued soon so you're poop out of luck money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shameless self promotion Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 too bad i came the closest you guys will be to the new gtr...hehe... it was unveiled at the detroit auto show, i was there, and yes, it is a bad ass... This car will be sold in the united states in the future... Like everyone else said...your not going to be able to afford the car you speak of, if you could even get on a waitin list to get one... Just wait a year, and buy yourself a the new nissan z car.....its a killer. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VANDALISTIKO Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 the car will not be made available in the united states because the power is too much and emissions is too high, you would have to convert the entire car, motor, drive train, etc..to meet requirement here in the u.s....the average cost of that on a nissan skyline is well above 80 thousand dollars, also the conversion would reduce the power that the motor gives thus fucking the whole reason of the car up, if you would want just the body of the skyline take a high powered car and have a fiberglass body made in the shape of the skyline, or go do some hits for the yakuza.........But you aint never gonna even touch that type of car kid.

Ferris Bueller Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 as much as i'd like an r34, it would still suck to have to learn how to drive a right hand drive vehicle and shift with your left hand...weird. i think there is a reason why you cant get em left hand drive it because of the turbos sit where the steering column for a left-hand drive would be or some shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 i forgot too, if you got the money and live in florida, go ahead and fucking buy a skyline, florida no longer does emissions... i can understand why it'd be a problem for those in cali though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCEBERG Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 short and simple... you can't, closest thing you can get is a 112 hp Lancer, haha on you! might as well by a mirage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnes 37 Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 man if you really want nissan power go for a nissan sentra swapped with a sr20 det or convert a 240sx into a silvia those are the closest you can get to a skyline in america with far less money even if they do bring it to america its gonna be butt ugly and pussified like the lancer...fuck america a country as wide as us cant have the cars that gets from point a to b on a small island as small as japan like i said fuck america and ill say it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 fuck an sr20det! get a fuckin rb26dett.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Claus Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 is this a joke? chill out dude...itll be a long time and a lotta money before you can get a true skyline here. besides all the emissions problems, for it to be legal, there will have to be crash tests involved, which means more than one car shipped over just for the tests. some guy 'round my parts did it with a Audi S3. now THATS a fucking beautiful car...goddamn.

seppuku Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Originally posted by Ferris Bueller fuck an sr20det! get a fuckin sr26dett.... i think you mean rb26dett. and the sr20det is a much more powerful engine than it's american ka24de counterpart.

Fugazi Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 There is only one company licensed to import Skylines. Base models (early 90's) start at $50k+. The new skyline coming to america is nothing like the current one. Slower, different looking. The old ones are cool if you like driving on the wrong side of the road.

Top Secret (Japanese tuner) has a Supra powered by an RB26DETT and it's just a horribly fantastic car...I assume it has more potential than a 2JZ-GTE?

im elephant. Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 they don't sell skylines here because the u.s. government decided that no one needs that much horse power for just an everyday street car. there is a company that is actually in the process of modifying the skyline r33.. or r32.. i forget which one.. so that it complies with u.s. standards. of course.. the cost of the modification plus shipping plus the cost of the actual car.. good luck buddy..... im guessing you also dont know how much she actually costs either. in american currency she is an easy 100grand. your lemonade stand wont work for this one.

inkjunkie34 Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 like someone else said be prepared to shell out at least 50k...those cars arent even that cool anyway...theyre too big for my taste...if you have that kind of money to spend on a car...i would get a nissan 180sx imported, or buy a new wrx and put the extra 25k you would save into the car, oh yeah....the new skyline is actually an infiniti....infiniti and nissan are owned by the same company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
