i wouldn't knock it until you drove it.... you'd be surprised, the only problem is the right hand drive with left hand shifting

I was wondering what you would pay for a car like that in the states. It doesn't have to be a new one.

Q.

man you can get so many cars up to 1000hp

a stock engine you can get 600 hp (i think its from ford)

then add a pro charger, nitrous, racing cam shaft, etc. etc.

Yeah, I could do with out the INDUSTRIAL wing, but other than that, it's a sweet car, I'd still pick it over a Porsche, but if you're willing to give me a choice between the two, I'd jack you for both.

a rice-boy lamer wannabe's dream car....

**payrollpete** · 05-22-2002, 10:54 PM

LOL

skylines aren't even fun in the usa, you have to make them street legal, thats the setback..

From a 2.6litre straight six? The standard engine in the Skyline is actually DETUNED to allow it to meet strict Japanse laws regarding power output (max 276bhp - the Skyline is about 320bhp in reality but Nissan says it's 276

).

BTW, $100k for a second hand had better be seriously quick - brand new R34's retail for about $75k in England, which is notorious for having inflated car prices.

street legal - been done - my friends had to crash test 3 of them for the DOT and they are fully legal for USA cruising..

**payrollpete** · 05-22-2002, 10:57 PM

yeah but then you are left with a overpriced honda

**payrollpete** · 05-22-2002, 10:58 PM

and yes i know honda does not make skyline

**volante** · 05-22-2002, 10:58 PM

And anyway, they'd be wasted in the hands of a US driver - they're designed to corner and handle well

**DPlayMax** · 05-22-2002, 11:16 PM

any serious buyers - we could meet for a test run in LA area some weekend - then you can see for yourselves..

Industrial wings are awesome. You guys are too old too appreciate the import scene.

The Skyline is the most wicked car ever built in the less than $100,000 category.

DPlay, you got mail.

The GTR is a ball tearing car.
They used to dominate the touring car racing here in AU. It got to the stage where they governed the turbo boost pressure to give the other cars a chance. They were still winning every race so they weighed them down with lead. They were still kicking ass so they banned them all together.

Dont knock the car until you have been in one.
