oh man another one of these kids who just played GT and now wants a skyline.

you know between 91 to 96 there was the R32 and the R33 skyline.do u want a GTr or GTS,do u even know what these are to start off with

[vectorspecialist]

u know u shouldnt say that, i've known about the skyline since like 95, way b4 the gt games and forza's. maybe he's just heard about it thru a t.v. show or maybe he did find it in a game. who cares. he wants the car. let him find out about.
rbmotors is good, just google that name and it should come up. go to the site find the phone number and call. tell him ur looking for any skyline in decent shape(salvage type would b too expensive to get parts for)91-96. those two era's were imported.
wen motorex shut down they let em finish the cars that were already here, and that was it. right now it is still leagle to import the r33 i dont know y tho.
i did hear that nissan brought a few of each generation here for mags to test b4 the r35 comes. u can try contacting nissan directly, but i doubt they'd let u have it, unless for mucho dollars

i have found out y the r33 is still allowed in, motorex was shut down for many reasons, but the biggest, nhts found out that the different gen skylines(r32-34) would crash test differently. motorex only ever used the r33 for crash testing. and because it passes, as long as some is a r.i.(registered importer) of the nissan skyline gt-r33 u can go out and buy one.
granted it would still b damn near 50g.
go out and get a 240sx, and mod it to look like a gtr, buy the rhd conversion, and try and squeez a rb26dett into the engine bay, it would end up being much cheaper

[jwacho]

so would it be easier to buy a 240sx or buy one here(already legal)

[vectorspecialist]

um yea, that's like saying the sun is hot, it's kinda obvious

[jwacho]

does it matter what year the 240sx is or doesnt it matter?
and where can i get a bodykit to fit on a 240sx to make it look like a gtr?

[vectorspecialist]

um my guess 95-98 240sx would give u the closest look basically, lights in the front are the clostest, and the roofline is closest. as for where can u find a bodykit ha, almost newhere, try googleing skyline bodykit for 240sx

listen, we were all 15 once in our life time, we all played racing games, shit hey we ever saw initial d. if your in the states YOUR NOT GOING TO FIND A SKYLINE. if you do your very lucky and wealthy, so just stick to a 240

[vectorspecialist]

on that wealthy part, 70% of millionaires never attended college, only 6% have graduated college. yea stick with the 240, if u cant fit the rb26dett in, shove a sr20det in

Ok i got it, but which motor is better thesr20det or the rb26dett?

[vectorspecialist]

if ur looking for an easy conversion with an engine that can handle ample amounts of power te sr20det.
if ur looking for some work but and engine that can handle loads upon loads of power the rb26dett

[jwacho]

does anyone know if they make a auto transmission for either the sr20det or rb26dett?

[vectorspecialist]

i would assume they make on for the sr20, but i doubt it for the rb26.
if ur gonna get a 240sx and do the engine conversion, just keep the trans that's with the engine.
if u dont know manual learn, u never know when it'll come in handy, that, and almost all fun cars that can b driven r manuals, and if htey're not they r paddle shift clutchless cars(ferrari, lambo, some porsches, and others)

you can fit the rb series motors in a 240sx but you either have to do the AWD conversion or get the rb20 or rb25 trans to convert the rb26 into a RWD. the rb20 motor swap is only about 1k plus shipping, also just take a look around. the swap is not really cheap and you may find a good deal on a real skyline. the sr20 is a good motor also but is really common so i tend to stray away. the red top sr20 and a s13 240sx would be your best bet. they are very easy and a dime a dozen.
