future prices

hey dudes long time no see(computer downage). anyway.... i was lookin at a r33 this mornin and it was in japan for 22000 usd. im 14 and i was wonderin how much do u dudes think it will cost in 2010? and no i have not seen 2fast2gay or fast and gay. i saw the car in grand truismo and loved it. always loved it and not because of the stupid gay movies

If anything, they'll probably be going up by then. The R32s are already starting to appreciate in value.

That Sucks.
I Want One So Bad. My Mom Said They Should Drop 2 9000usd

out of curiosity, why r u waiting til 2010?

im waitin till im 18 so i can afford the bloody beuty

still wont be able to buy it. 89 r32's finally become eligable for importation in 2014. your going to have to wait another 4 or so years before r33's become available.

dang cant i buy one and have it sent to RB Motoring or something like that? i want to fly over and hand pick a skyline. thats the mager issue.

just forget about it kid. Buy something else dont even waste your time trying to do what many do. Youll just fail at it. US laws are two strict no, and well motorex is to damn expensive, and i dont think they legalize cars anymore.

u know jmrev, ur wrong!!! this has been a dream of mine for too many years to give up. i have been on these fourms too much to give up and i have spent to much da*n time doing this. one day i shall prove all u wrong. i have over 200+ links to legalization and shipping of skylines. the day i get rid of all of them is the day i get my skyline. and the day i get my skyline i will change my name from "theenlightement" to some more suited for a skyline owner. ok. this is to much of a time eater and a dream to "just forget about it" ok. and to everyone else who says it will be impossible for me to get a skyline in the united states then u will see me in Canada or Japan.

your dream? i dont know if you have noticed all of the other noobs that ask about Skylines in the states... thats every 13 year olds dream...

ok u retard. one, im 14 not 13 (holy crap).two, im not a noob, i have been in skyline research for at least 2x's as long as people u call noobs. and three, .....ok i got it, i will be a person that u people called a NOOB that will accualy own a skyline.

Settle down "theenlightement", to get a skyline in the states you need to have big time money, and a skyline will take that much to more to go as fast as you think needs to be. Not to be a kill joy but aim for like a vr-4 or a 300zx tt, there fast and the states have them.

i dont give a dang how fast. it is the most beutiful car in the world to me. even prettier then lambos. if im luck i will have about 20000usd tops from my parents. 2000usd to buy a s14 to drive to skool and the rest in the bank collecting interset. ill keep my job now making 6.15 an hour 6 hours a day after skool and 10 hours during summer and weekend and i work as a machinic for my skools auto shop.

fine since your not 13 and you really are 14 then i guess its okay to get a skyline...

crazy kid....

You don't just need money to get a Skyline in the States. You'd need an outright miracle, such as the owner of a previously legalzed car giving theirs up.

No one is legalizing Skylines anymore. Motorex is pretty much history, and RB Motoring is waiting for approval to do work on the cars.

If you have done your homework you know you could have a Skyline state legal and save all that motorex cash for mods, but then again I can see this kid get a Skyline as a first car and not properly reg it at the federal level get in a wreck and have a huge write up in the paper about how illegal imported cars should all be crushed, which I really hope does not happen.

Anyways if you did your homework like I did there is another way too. You just have to look hard enough.

yo EXPcustom i really cant find another way for a legal skyline expet having RB getting it done or buy a skyline already legal but not a hand pick skyline like i want. i have spent over 1000+ hours on this damn computer and all i get is skylines in UK,AU,JP and i use google, yahoo, jeeves and some over crack shit search engines and i get jack. if u have a site or a idea on another way to get a skyline please dude please post it, if i was were ever u r i do pretty much anything 4 u man so please dude dont be a evil person and post any other ideas. i get fukin head aches tring to find stuff so please post ur omidy ideas.

im waitin till im 18 so i can afford the bloody beuty

18 in 2010? ow my brain hurts :confused:

yeah man the poimy of the forum is to SHARE information not hoard it. answer people's questions when you know the answer, one of the biggest running arguements is about legalizing skyline, so if you have some other way of doing it (which i really really really doubt) sharing it would be greatly appreciated by all, i am sure.

ok new question, if u buy a skyline from canada can u tow it down to the usa and put it in the garage and wait till u have the right amount of money to have it legal. or do have to get legal first.

hypothetically, if motorex was still legalizing skylines....no that would not be possible. the cars HAVE to be brought in by a registered importer. the car can ONLY be brought in by a registered importer. after the car reaches the RI, the car MUST be legalized before being released onto united states streets.

so what u r saying u cant tow down a skyline form canada and let it sit in the garage the after a year u go and get it legal?

no......its not legal. the cars still have to be brought in by an RI, but they cant be legalized. so then the car would sit at the RI for years and years and years (depending on the year of the car). 2014 is when we can get 1989 r32's free and clear, and personally...with that deadline quickly approaching, i dont see any RI's really stepping up to the plate to pick up motorex's slack.

This is alittle off topic but, can you get a skyline for race/show use and not have it be 25 years old, or legal?

so what u r saying u cant tow down a skyline form canada and let it sit in the garage the after a year u go and get it legal?

the major difference is the laws for importing cars into canada vs into the states. In canada it only has to be 15 years old right, so it hasnt been modified to the american DOT's specs. just because its was legal in canada doesnt negate this fact.

guys i was just watching Fourmula D on G4TV and saw a s14 that Dy was driveing. i think it was a kouki but whatever. im think about scraping all these damn ideas and just stick with a 240sx kouki or a real s14

I thought the skyline was your dream car kid. Don't give up on it, it may look impossible currently doesn't mean that It will still be impossible when you are able to drive. Sh*t Miracles can happen right? Anyways the S14 is a good car and converting a 240sx to a S14 or 15 is another good idea but until you know for sure that you can't get it, don't give up. Some of the people got it, just keep searching and something will come up. I am currently looking for ways to bring a skyline in the states and still no cigar, so I have nothing to share with you even if i wanted to. IF something comes up I will definitly let you know kid. I have heard other people thinking about starting a business importing skylines and such in the states, its a long shot, but hey as I said its not impossible.

[QUOTE=jmrev]your dream? i dont know if you have noticed all of the other noobs that ask about Skylines in the states... thats every 13 year olds dream...

I'm 23 and that's my dream car. In my opinion you need to just leave him alone. If that is want he wants to do then let him do it. I don't hear him asking you for the money to get it, just help with how to get it. Just to let you know kid if i find any helpful information for you i'll let you know

Just to let you know kid if i find any helpful information for you i'll let you know

I do believe that is the essence of the forum. those of us with the same interests discussing these sort of things and letting each other know the information we have. just my interpretation though...

I think I can help some peeps here, Im knew and all yea you got me there. But back in I think May? march Idk I went to HIN "Hot import Nights" for those who know. And im in Charlotte NC, well there were 2 Skylines. One a 2dr and another a 4dr, the owners "legalizers" are in Greenvilles or Greensboro?

impossible so stop the scam/spam.

No no its no scam they had the papers too with the Cefts. Yea im a newb on this form, but I accually sat in both the cars and read the papers.

skylines cannot be made street legal in the united states as of right now. two things might have happened....they have cars that are legalized by motorex, or you sat in cars that have been illegally brought into the country. dont believe everything you see, your eyes can be deceiving.

If they have a business, they can register their cars in the name of the business. They CAN'T do a car for you.

woe woe woe wait a minute there so are yo telling me (who ownes a small buisness)i can get a legal skyline for shows, track use, and street use? just because i have business? that doesn't sound right.... if it is true inform me up here buddy because if that was true then i am a major idiot (well according to my girlfriend - .... i already am one) because i could have had one of these things a LONG time ago if that was true.

someone correct this guy or say that he is right because this is REALLY makeing me anctious...(ah my wonderful load of spelling errors could i have ANy less phonics in elementary school?)

it IS possible to bring one in with a corporate sponsorship. but its not like any company can just do this. it requires time, money (lots), and the ability to convince NHSTA/USDOT/US customs as to why the car should be brought in for your company.

It is actually MUCH easier and cheaper than ANY other route. It just has to be a bonifide business.

So run me through this then - i do own a small business desgining video games as a third party developer with namco and sony - seeing that i do not really feel like revealing my true identiy i do not wish to give out the company name - just for future reference....

So run me through this how much money are we talking about and where would one start if they wanted to do this- and what kind of excuses could you all come up with for us to have the car for our company?

Also just to double check - we can drive it on the street as a normal daily car as well is that not correct (that is if i convicne the nhtsa and so forth and so on)?

So run me through this then -
Contact matada. He has done this and knows all the particulars....or fallenprnce.

sheesh, all this for a car...>.< I think im going to go crazy. Stupid Motorex if only they did their business correctly.

yeah and if were gonna wish we might as well wish that nissan just originally released the skyline in NA, i mean that would just make it even easier.

Contact matada. He has done this and knows all the particulars....or fallenprnce.

is matada a memeber of this site ???? or who is this guy?

how do i get a hold of him?
thanks!!! :icon16:

shut up, you aint gettin a sky so just chill out. and yes...matada is a member of AF, i dont see him post much anymore though.

but all you guys say its a mother fu**ing long shot and its almost damn impossible. i would love to own one but now.......... damn the usa sucks. if i can get a skyline it would be a damn merical. but today i was some sweet ass shit. Its called a "strawberry faced silvia." its like a 180sx with a s15 front end it was sweet as a strawberry lol

Its only a temporary import. You can bring it in for shows or displays and then you have to export it after a year. I have done it for several cars/ companies.

Normally you can not drive it on the road, although you can request permission to operate the vehicle on a highway.

Just check on the temporary import section on the nhtsa.dot.gov website.

Motorex.... hmm. Good question. I dont know what they are doing. Still trying to figure it out.

RB Motoring is an RI, but has never legalized a GT-R.

Well then Sean,
What cars can RB Motoring import? Don't worry.....I'm going to the website as we speak.

RB Motoring is an RI. They can import anything. The problem is legalizing cars.

Any RI can import any car, but actually getting them though the DOT and EPA regulations is the issue.

You could always do what I did....join the military. Then it's just a matter of getting stationed SOMEWHERE (ANYWHERE) overseas (UK, Italy, Germany, Spain, Japan, etc) and then you can buy a Skyline free and clear. Granted you won't be able to bring it back with you to the US. I thought this might be a problem, but then I decided I like it wayyyyyy too much being overseas to go back. So now as long as I stay overseas, I can have ANNNNNNYYYYY car that I want (well, within my price range at least). I'll be stationed in Japan in late 06, and I've got the cash saved up for a decent R34 GT-R (maybe not pristine, somewhere in the $35k US range).

If you are worried about getting killed in the military, just join the Air Force and do an office job, or aircraft maintenance or something. I'm deployed right now, have been for about 4 months, haven't heard a gunshot or mortar yet. :)

firefighter81- Welcome back a very long time Glad to see your ok. So do you have the car yet?

Nope....no Skyline yet, I still got a little bit before I'm in Japan, next April. Turns out I'm going to Kadena Air Base on Okinawa, I don't know what the tuner culture is like there, hopefully it won't be too hard sourcing a good condition R32 GT-R.

On another note, I just sold my Eclipse (92 GSX), I managed to get it up to 334whp, which isn't too bad considering how little money I actually spent on it.

I'm deployed right now, serving some time in Qatar, not all that dangerous here, just hot as hell and they work us to the bone. 14hr shifts, 6 days on, 1 day off. I'm making some decent extra cash though to put towards the Skyline once I get to Japan.

Also, think I found my favorite R32 that I've seen thus far.
http://www.toprpm.com/eng/features/feature_18.htm
I doubt I could achieve the 900+hp that this one has (not that I would even want to) but I think looks-wise this is the best one I've seen. All of the body mods compliment the shape of the 32, they don't change the car, I especially like the spoiler, and OH MY GOD the wheels on that thing are beautiful! Those are called Nismo LM's or something right? Now I know what to model my Skyline after if I pick up an R32 instead! :naughty:

Yes the dragger style wing looks very nice.

ooohhhhh man you're going to Kadena :lol: ohhhh you're just in time for the lockdown. What rank are you........nevermind, you're probably an
E-3 or below. Prepare to be restricted to base by midnight and there are rumors they may take away the junior ranks driving privilages. You can thank your retarded Airman buddies. The Airforce used to be able to do ANYTHING......seriously. But with alot of the very serious things that have happened they are starting to crack down. Now if you're wondering how I know.....I am in Oki now and for the last 4 years. Kadena also has a base order about modifying your car, their strictness in enforcing it fluctuates, but it basically states you can not modify your car in ANY way. NONE....not even rims. I've read it. So don't think you're coming to the land of drag racing or anything. I also hope you know the speed limit is 60kmh (34mph). Get caught speeding and see what happens. I know an air force guy who got caught burning his tires in his Skyline at a stop light and got NJP'd and lost his license. Burning his tires :grinno: that is an example of how retarded they are. Hey if you wanna know anything else you can PM me. Sorry to be the bearer of the TRUTH. :p

when its 2010 your going to look back at this and laugh, even with money chances are 1/999999 to get one... sorry but im not trying to be mean... again.

Well, I'm an E-4, and it's not positive that I'm going to Kadena yet. I didn't have much available on my equal listing, Kadena, Misawa, Honduras, and Lajes. So I just put all of those down. I'll probably end up in Honduras or Portugal for a year. As a follow-on Kadena will be my third choice, Yokota first, then Misawa, then Kadena, so we'll see what happens.

Also I'm old enough to know better about speeding, used to have a bad record, now I've had a clean record for the last 4 years. As far as the modding crackdown at Kadena goes, I've been reading about it on Zeroyon, looks like fun :banghead: ..... so hopefully Yokota and Misawa are a little different...but either way, I'll just be happy to be in Japan.

Thanks for the info!

ive heard the local teams surrounding oki/kadena area are a pretty rough crowd. feirce competition and such.
