RE: Getting started
 

i read an article a while back..to buy a GTR34, the skyline in my AV, on ebay, it would run you roughly 80,000+, fully tuned, so on...and to make the car 50 state legal, there is a company that i believe it in new jersey that specializes in making them legal, will cost about an extra 15 thousand...and from what i understand that includes making the car emission legal, registering it, and the like, all without lowering the power output...but like i said, that was something i read online...i believe the legalization process includes emissions and safety measures...if you notice, sometimes skylines on ebay willm specifically say "50 state legal", or "JDM car, not Us legal" so to have a Real, 50 state legal high end tuned skyline, youd pay upwards of 90 grand...ive seen R33s on ebay, 50 state legal for as low as 45g...it was in virginia, and was registered..so on...and had something like 505 dyno'd hp....it was very nice

Well, they are nice and fast cars, but not worth that much. One can get a Cobra for half that price, and have a better performance car to boot.

RE: Getting started
 

but the cobra is only rwd...i would have to think that in certain performance applications, and in economy, the skyline would have an advantage...the way i look at it, they are liek cuban cigars...once castro dies, and the embargo is lifted, cuban cigars wont carry the outrageous prices...the same goes for the skyline once nissan introducs it full scale to the us, prices will be greatly reduced...

however, i have seen ALOT of fake skylines..i have seen a 2 door acura legend, a mazda 626, and a 2 door prelude turned into a skyline..they were very realistic looking, but in 2wd, and transverse engines...:eek:

RE: Getting started
 

and so were the original skyline rear wheel drive. There is absolutely not anything wrong with rear wheel drive for go fast applications. Hell, even the Nascars are rear wheel driven.

RE: Getting started
 

oh..im not arguing with you there..my drag car is RWD...but i feel that in a road course application, or any non-drag application, i woudl rather have a high-revving AWD car..

RE: Getting started
 

True.....I see your point.

RE: Getting started
 

and while i have seen some sick nissans on the 1/4, i did see a fox body with a 351 blown with DOTs run 7.99 in an NSCRA event...sick.
