Ahhhh, I just wanted to say I get a rash of emails from people asking me to get them a Skyline because I live in Japan. Yes, I have a Skyline, but over here in Japan, mine is legal just the way it is. Well, most of you can't afford one, so before you ask check out Motorex's pricing. I always have someone email me and say, "I only have $10,000.00 do you think you could get me a Skyline??" The answer is NO, not if you only have Ten Grand. Just cause you watched 2Fast2GAY to many times, doesn't mean you can get a Skyline. Here is a conversion list right off Motorex's website. http://www.motorex.net/_motorex/n_images/skyline/pricecon.jpg

You will see just Conversion alone is $16,000-25,000
and to get one already converted is $18,000-95,000...this is only on average.....I am not Motorex but as they can convert them, direct your questions to them..so before you watch 2Fast2GAY again and want to get a Skyline, look into the FACTS, Because dreams are just that..........DREAMS.

wow.. .. uhh thanks for that amazingly informative post regarding skyline ownage...
cooL!

finally someone put up real prices

Those prices are kind of public knowledge jmrev...

Most of those people saying "Im getting a Skyline" (In America at least) are kids who, like you have said, have watched 2Fast2Queer2Manytimes... People used to IM me... They used to go something like this:

RandomRicerDouche: Yo, herd u no bout skylines
Samhain: Yea... What do you want?
RandomRicerDouche: i gots lik 5gran can i get a skytline
Samhain: No
RandomRicerDouche: lol fuk u idit u no nothin bout skyline then i saw one on ebay for 5grnd lol n im buyin it! lol lol
Samhain: Go ahead...

Its fun to just LET someone screw themselves into the ground :D

Bottom line... Your average bear, CANT afford a Skyline.

I cant... 90% of the people on this forum cant... So why worry about it.

Someday I will have a Skyine... When the 25 year rule kicks in. But until then:

Love Live The Zed!

lol true alot of peple like the skyline only because of 2f2f.

and when this guy said there was 10k skylines on ebay ? because I saw some for 10k Gbp, and no one bidded of them

well I did :D

I like Skylines, but not enough to deal with rhd(I'm on the tollway a lot), maintenance issues(ex: waiting for parts), probably needing a second car because of that, having a car that is at least two years old(If I got an R34, but I'd prefer an R32), and not really having a warranty. But I really do like them. :) If I had the money to burn, I'd probably go for one.

Maybe when this thread gets updated you WILL be able to own and drive one legally:

It CAN be done...just not by everyone who wants one, but then....if everyone HAD one would it be as cool?

:lol: i would slap the **** out of the kid that said that he is going to buy one for 5g :lol: serious they have to stop watching 2f2f, and if everyone had a skyline, well then i guess they would be boring, at least thats my opinion.

"boring" is a little strong, but they would lose some novelty.

They CAN be had for much cheaper than many think. $5000.00 is a little low though.

Yeah, if you were in Japan (Like I am) you could get an R33 GTR for about $10,000.00-14,000.00 and then you have to add the $17,000.00 conversion to bring it to America. So you're looking at $27,000-$31,000 for the car. For a 1995 model car that is a little pricey(in my opinion). I know, I have an R33. I have been looking into every possible aspect to bring it back, but so far nothing but Motorex works. I really hope somebody comes up with a far easier way to get them to the states. That would be GREAT! :rofl: :iceslolan My biggest fear is that I'd bring one back, and it would get seized at the port. :eek7: :eek:

These are the times when I'm actually glad I live in New Zealand. Skylines are aboundant here, and outside of Japan we have the highest concintration of them.

R32 GTR's are going for between 9-13k USD and the GTS-t and GTS4's are under 4k USD!

I'm just biding my time before I make the shift back to the states. Once it becomes a classic or a viable legalizer opens shop I'll ship it back and move.

Yeah....but do you know what's funny......Half of the people that chat on these forums either don't know about Motorex or RB, think importing a car is as easy as buying it on EBAY or watched 2fast2gay and want a Skyline.........

the thing that gets me the most fired up is that Motorex charges 24k for a 94' GTS that is 0-60 like in eight seconds or even more....sure they have to do the conversion...but come on isnt that to much money for a dated 32?

Kinda off-topic here... and I'm sure someone else has thought of this already... but let's say I move to Canada for some time (where the 15 year import rule aplies) and buy an R32 there.... live there for about a year or two then move back to the US with the car. Is this legal? Or do you still have to get it up to EPA/DOT code? Just a thought...

sorry that still wont work, Its not legal for the US no matter where it comes from.......just pay Motorex.

Yes, dad... :screwy:

Can't blame me for trying....

didnt mean to upset you.

thats the upside about living in canada :grinyes:

as long as its 15 years old theres no modifying needed!

You bastard Canadianese people!

Haha :D

O well... Only 10 more years George, only 10 more years.

you guys lost me....
10 years before it's legal to Canada ?

I think he means the r34 gtr

10 more years and us, YANKS can own an R32 is what he meant....

Unfortunately, the way the prices have started going on good R32's, you won't be saving much money. Low mileage Vspec/VspecII's are selling for upwards of 35-40,000 USD in Japan.

As the car becomes more of a cult classic, the prices will continue to increase.

If the DOT stops importation of GTR's, expect the prices of the cars already in the country legally to increase stateside as well......

I've talked with a Nissan company guy, he said skylines are legal ( Canada ) just Twin Turbo is illegal because it take more fuel or something like that...

that is a lie i Know many that have GTRs in Canada...........my bad i meant r32 not r34 on my last post here.

yeah they have R32, but R34 is legal, just need to untune the twin turbo

really! untuning like what do you mean?

yeah they have R32, but R34 is legal, just need to untune the twin turbo


r34 aint legal in canada. 15 year importation rule. only cars that can be imported to canada period have to be 15 years old from the start of production date.

that's if you import it.
Nissan told me they can import it for me, I don't think they will sell something illegal.

but anyway, legal or not, i'm gonna get mine, if it'sillegal, i'll just keep it in my garage :D

dont believe everything you say. companies dont know your countrys legalization process. and the fact that you have to import skylines to canada in the first place means you HAVE to import it.

and its almost impossible getting one in illegally unless you manage to smuggle one in from the US (which you would then have a US legal skylines) because canadian customs wont release the car, no questions asked. they will ship it back or crush it. must be older than 15 years or else you aint gettin one. r32's you can get legally, and they are lighter than r34's. just go for one of those guys.

I'd be happy with a GTS or GTS-T R32... nothing fancy....

think about the price to get it here in the US, is that nice? i think not.
