i am new, and im wondering, where i can find performance parts for the skyline gt-t or gt-s, like turbo kits and such also can i do an engine swap, and put the gtr engine into a none gtr skyline ? how much would this hole swap cost?

Why the hell would you want to put a RB26DETT in a GTSt? You might as well buy a GTR.

Where do you live?

united states

And you have a GTSt? Or are you just hypotheticly speaking?

hypothetically
can u just help me out pleae

strange , goings on .
tony , is that avatar yer new one ?
you must have 5 now if so .

Hey Marty,

Actually I have 4:) How have you been, m8? Hows the R33s?


you can look at parts at www.takakaira.com

Swap would cost you more than what a r32GTR would cost from MotoRex.

i'm fine , how are you ?
sold the black one , looking for another .
thinking on R32 GTR .
Hows the v8 project coming on ?

Nite, you have a PM

ok buddy. Look, lets say you did get your hands on a GTS (which isnt too bad if you know people). For I'd say around 6500-8000 g's. Now keep in mind that includes customs compliance(most important), US VINS, and EPA compliance as well. If they cannot provide those factors, then be prepared to waste your money. Now lets say you want to drop in an RB26DETT (Racing Built 2598cc Dual cam ECCS {electronic concentrate control system) Twin Turbo). You would have to take out that RB20DE/T engine, trans, ecu, wiring. Then you would have to buy an R32 GTR clip, which you are talking around 5500 bucks. The car would have to be legalized before you swap, due to how much more expensive it is to legalize GTR, than GT-S. So you are talking another 7500 for legalization. Now realistically, do you really want to buy a car that will cost you 21 grand that still wont be running good due to the fact that your LSD cant take the new power, and the simple fact that the engine is not made for that car. Now also take to mind that a 4wd conversion is right next to impossible, but it can be done. So you would have a 300hp engine, in a car that was only supposed to be able to handle around 210. You would be burning your tires through 6th gear, and would stress your trans out in one run. Does that make one damn bit of sense??? :disappoin . Ok, so if you are really content on getting a GTR. We currently have one for sale for 15000, it isnt legal yet, but we can do that as well. If you would like details, E-Mail me at nismolmr@aol.com. The car is in Arizona. Peace

"We currently have one for sale for 15000, it isnt legal yet, but we can do that as well."

I find that strange? You can legalize it, or you know how to get around the system?

I'm guessing he means put it through motorex for the new ownr (but I could be wrong)

NO! Even if you figure out a way around legalization (for example: Put 240sx VINS on it, and say it is a 240sx) it still wont fly, you would get busted in a matter of weeks! And it is a federal offense. On another note, the company will be an official legalization company in a few months. Note: it takes so long because you must get "a company" (company name will remain unstated) to come out to your facilities and make sure you have all the tools needed to legalize. Then you must legalize three vehicles to US spec (For Example: a few that are allowed are Skyline, Aristo, RX-7, Accord) and then wreck them in front of the supervisers. If they pass, then you can start legalizing JDM vehicles. Now keep in mind that Aristo (GS300/400) RX-7 and Accord are already in the US, so legalization is very simple. So one of the company's that I work for (Night Szevyn Racing, night7racing.com) is soon to be an official legalization company. I work for two others as well. RB Motoring, (rbmotoring.com) which is almost as good as MotoRex. Seeming as the owner worked at MotoRex for years, he even built and raced the official MotoRex car "BIG BIRD" which was an R33 GTR that ran under 10's! And they use a 12000 foot facility to legalize, which is over twice the recommended size. Now the OTHER company (SPEED53) I wouldn't trust with anything... I dont even know why I sell for them. They will not release their RI (Register Importer), they will not talk about US VINS, Customs Compliance, or EPA Compliance... Those three things are needed to get a JDM car in the US, if not, you just got screwed! Their prices are outlandish as well. Anyways I hope that clears up all doubts in any minds. Peace

You must be joking, because your post is so full of BS! :loser:

Legalizing an Aristo, or a RHD RX-7 or accord is not simple as you claim. If you knew anything about legalization, you would know that you can not claim that a RHD vehicle is similar to the LHD vehicle unless the manufacturer states this. And even if a RI was able to legalize a skyline, it does not mean that they can legalize any car they want. Just ask Motorex if they can legalize an Evolution VII...

If you really want to learn about legalizing a vehicle, I suggest reading the last few posts from Sean Morris (tyndago) from the Fresh Alloy board:

http://forums.freshalloy.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB4&Number=67570562&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=all&vc=1

Just in case you didn't know, Sean is the guy at RB Motoring who used to work for Motorex.

If you really did work for RB Motoring, you would not be on here posting this garbage... nor would you be associated with Speed53 as they are a bunch of scammers who have not proven they can legalize a skyline...

http://forums.freshalloy.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB4&Number=67566261&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=all&vc=1

Yes I know who Sean Morris is, I've had a few personal conversations with him :p . That is how I learned of "BIG BIRD", and how it was one of the first Skylines in America, so hes been around these things for a long time. And yes I know that SPEED53 is a bunch of scammers who dont know shit about Skylines. They can not even give out their RI name. I once stated to them "ok, so thats got an RB25DET engine correct..." they replied "A what? Whats that??" So yea, They are real legit eh? haha. Now I know you cant legalize some vehicles that are offered in America as well, but those three I listed (Aristo, RX-7, and Accord) I was under the impression (an obviously mis-guided impression) Could be legalized. Now if you really have a problem with me, just IM me and well talk it out, lets save the forums for people who need help, and reserve the IM's for the real disputes. You also Mis-Quoted my original post, just thought I would point it out to you. My AOL Screen Name is NISMO LMR. So I guess i'll hear from you soon buddy, peace.

So, you hope to be able to legalise them. That is what I gathered out of what you wrote.

Also, If you would like to see some E-Mails from Chris King(owner of SPEED53) himself, just shoot me a line. Heres a quot from one,

"Whats up. Sorry, I cannot disclose any information regarding our RI or any of
it's processes.

CK
SPEED53.com"

Now thats funny seeming as NSR had no problem giving me that info. Also doesnt it seem funny to anyone else that Omega Skylines cannot provide this same info, I recently cornered Matt V and asked him, he simply said that Omega cannot legalize anything! Even though it is cleary stated on their sites

"We will be teamed up with 2 now made annonymous companies in the USA to legalize skylines. You will have DOT approved skylines that are 100% verified street legal through us at a substantially lower price than with Motorex who charges about $25,000.00 or more to legalize a skyline. To get an already legalized one from motorex it may cost you about $65,000.00 for a 1995 skyline and their prices may range up to about $100,000.00. We will be substantially lower. Estimated price may be less than half of Motorex's to legalize one through us. This price will be offered on skylines bought through me or my 2 companies that do legalizing only. If you have your own skyline already we can't cut you this deal-sorry. Our prices will be substantially less than motorex and you may be saving $30,000-$50,000.00 off of their prices."

Hmmmm... Does this seem sketch to anyone else? Just thought I would share the knowledge with the forum, peace

Well its not MY company, I am simply a salesmen for all of them. But NSR is in the works for becoming a official legalization company.

Now if you really have a problem with me, just IM me and well talk it out, lets save the forums for people who need help, and reserve the IM's for the real disputes. You also Mis-Quoted my original post, just thought I would point it out to you. My AOL Screen Name is NISMO LMR. So I guess i'll hear from you soon buddy, peace.

I don't have a problem with you, I just had a problem with the information you provided. The purpose of my post was to show you and the people on this forum that your information was incorrect.

Another thing, there is no such thing as Customs Compliance... the whole point of the crash testing is to comply with DOT requirements... Customs just won't let your car off the docks unless you have a contract with a RI to legalize the car or you have the proper paperwork showing the car is for track or show use only.

If you don't know what you're talking about, you shouldn't post the wrong information on the forum...

Ok... CUSTOMS COMPLIANCE is a piece of paper work that will allow you to register the vehicle after it is legalized. I am not posting to wrong information to my knowledge. If that is not customs compliance... THEN WHAT IS IT???? I know that Customs Compliance has not a damn thing to do with DOT standards. It has to do with getting the car in the country. Apperently you have a bit more knowledge on the subject than I do. Seeming as I am only 17, thats not bad. If I am wrong, I will drop it, and just leave it be. Talk to you guys later, peace.

A lot of it has to do with the way you present your information. And the fact, that you better know what you are talkin about, because there are a few guys that will correct you, if your not right.

o good point, I thought I was presenting it fairly well. But apperently its confusing some people? Anyways thanks for pointing it out to me, later Tony.

Hasn't NSR said that they were going to import legal skylines for over a year now? Still nothing has changed...let alone the fact that many people are pissed because he's taken their money with his shrewd motor importation practices...

I wouldn't trust him with any of my money...

if you search for their parts by cars why do they have a 180sx listed as "rps13"...only our s13 looked like a 180sx...theirs had a s13 silvia front...

My boss, who owns Night Szevyn Racing asked me to post this exact response:

-Common misconception: we have imported Skylines legally into the US, not street-legal Skylines. We now have the ability to import street legal Skylines and are awaiting someone who wishes to own one to come through. We still import non-street-legal Skylines into the US for people with lesser budgets as well.

Most people who are pissed are not customers of mine. All of my customers understand the situation at hand, although, not happy with it as I am, they are glad to see that the situation is starting its resolution with my first container in the US right now. Whether you would trust me or not with your money is besides the point...I have no obligations to you, I have obligations to my customers to follow through on my end of the deal. Lastly, I have no shrewd motor importation practices. The reason I had problems with getting engines was because I was going through an importer to get the engines for me. He would order...he would convey incorrect information to me of which I in turn relayed to my customers. Many of my items also got locked in customs due to his bringing illegal items into the US via his containers (headlights, tail lights, brakes etc...). While every other importer in the US still brings those items in, the Seattle port decided to shove a stick up their asses and screwed the flow of business for about 6 different importers at the same time. Since then, I have flown to Japan to meet personally with my new supplier and have arranged for a 20 foot container loaded with 3 RB25DET, and 5 SR20DET Front Clips. It arrived in Long Beach on the 11th of December and is expected to me before Christmas....Please talk to the horses mouth next time before posting what you think may have happened or what you think of me. I have not stolen any money...if I was an asshole like most of you people want me to be, I would have ran with it a long time ago and dropped off the face of the earth....yet, I'm here.

NIGHT


And what I have to say about that repsonse that you posted, trying to crack on my boss... F§CK YOU! Cams one of the coolest guys I know, and you dont crack on people you dont know personally. So dont talk shit about people man, you could be ruining someones business with a stupid ass little comment like that. to the rest of yall, peace :p

ya cam is pretty chill, and i have pretty much disregarded the whole skyline idea unless i can get one for about 15,000 lol

Exactly, listen to this man too, we both know Cam pretty good.

ya man of course i cant hate on cam, and if anyone knows where i can get a 15000 skyline email me lol BlueDragon871@hotmail.com :) lol hey its a long shot

ok guys...here goes...
i am a new member to this site however not to the import car scene... i live in ...be prepared for this..St.lucia..a tiny exotic island in the western hemisphere loated less than 3hrs from the bahamas via any caribbean island hopper. 99% fo the cars here are japanese imports and as you may already imagine the skyline gtr reigns supreme in the form of an R33'96..but here goes...as you all would know this car is indeed expensive and rumour has it that the owner of the lone 11sec. 1/4 mile beast deceived the masses in fact...it is rumoured that godzilla is a godzukee sent to the gymn and pumped on steroids...not to mention the plastic surgery. To those of you i have lost it is an R33gts25t 96 model wearing gtr skirts, badges etc...the owner usually secretive about "what's under the hood" made his mistake. absent was the tell tale twin turbos beefy2.6 and the other emblems present on the holy grail of jpn's street racing..it was a gts-25-t yeah running nos with the single turbo...dont get me wrong the car is a legend back home...but its no gtr...which brings me here i am lookinng for a gts25t r33 97 shell...no engine..(i have plans on creating the devil himself)where can i search and how much do you guys think i would have to put out in us currency.
thanx hope to hear from you people out there!

p.s where i live beilieve or not apart from the cost of the car and shipping one only pays an environmental levee to clear the car for entry paid when importing vehicles from japan and thats it...we drive on the left hand side of the road and all of our vehicles are leftees..the levee runs about 15k ec$ for a 8yr old engine...thats about $5617 usd

wow that was a great story and thanks for sharing, but i think you would have more like finding a shell in a different location on this forum im not tryin to be a dick head im just tryin to get u a faster response
