Ohio Emissions in an SR20DET

[too-cool-2]

skylines weren't imported due to a lack of a market for them (didnt think it would be competitive against mustang, camaro, vette, etc.) and when the japan power wars were going on (300zx, skyline, & supra) the US just wasnt into it. anyway if you want one, infinity G35 = r35 skyline (right off the http://www.nissan.co.jp/SKYLINE/V35/...EUP/index.html official nissan website)

That's crazy that you mention Turbofour, because today I was driving to Panera's Bread in Mentor, and I saw a Black S13 with the words "TURBOFOUR" written at the top of the windshield.
What do they sell? Do they do the 5-speed swap, because I need to get that done. I didn't purchase my car, as it is automatic, it only had 19k miles when I got it. I plan to do a 5-speed swap soon. Looking for a place... Anyway original question: Does turbofour do the 5-speed swap?

lack of a market for them?? The US never gets the best cars outa Japan. This "japan power wars" you mentioned was between the manufactures, US is not japan so its irrelevant. And the Skyline not being competitive against the mustang camaro?!!!? The RB it self is in a league of its own, not to mention the Skyline is a technical marvel, the skyline is a super computer on wheels. And yes the G35 is labeled as the Skyline in japan, but we are talking about the real Skyline, not sure about you but do you feel the heart and soul of a Skyline in a G35... But then again we didnt get the Skyline back in the day because we already had the 300zx and the SE-R powered cars back then. No point in bringing the skyline over IMG

i've never been to turbofour, that's why i really wanted to check it out. but i think its just a parts store, they dont do sr swaps. there is a place downtown i believe that does an sr swap in 1 day.... yes, one day. im not sure how much it costs tho..........

what car do you have flywsi? honda si? i occasionally am around rocky river and stuff to drive around but thats it. i just came across a jetta with a huge tach, gauges, etc. but im not sure its that fast because i was keeping up with him through the streets. he took some wicked turns going about 30 down the sidestreets tho, my car's tires just skid and i wipe out, lol. maybe it'll be better when i install new struts and coilovers next week.

turbo four can get great parts, but they don't do installs.

the shop i mentioned, www.slickmotorsports.com in North Olmstead can do the swap, and is in the process (of doing one as we speak)

i've got a yellow 89 prelude si.

more details later if you'd like.

not sure on a jetta like that, i've never seen one...

my friends jetta is on bbs rims and super sleeper...

i'm always around and driving, and my car is easy to spot... yellow, gun metal wheels with a polished lip... i can't hide...





in regards to there not being a market for skylines...
not the case.
the problem was more in the emissions and what it would cost to legalize the cars (crash testing as well)
at a time when the US was not that interested in foreign (JDM) sports cars...
witness the demise of the 300zx, the supra, the rx7, the 3000gt...

the rb26 was dropped b/c it was such a bear to keep emissions legal in japan, imagine what that means for US emissions.

nissan was also challenged monetarily for a while, which is why the car didn't come here...

and please don't tell us the g35 is the skyline, b/c we all know that.

the g35 is the v35 skyline, but not the r35 (gt-r)

gt-r will most likely come over as it's own car... not an iteration of the g35.

also, mynismo...

i was just looking at your pics of your car...

our cars look eerily similar... both have flip ups, long hoods, short decks, gun metal wheels with polished rims...

damn...

scary... except mine's a honda...
but hey... nobody is perfect...
