Newbie skyline questions..

[IMPREZA MANG]

Ok, thanks to the US army i will have some xtra spending money over the next 4 years, so i have some questions...

Where could i get a skyline leaglized? How much does it cost for a GT-T to get leaglized?

Skyline owners could u post a link or tell me where and how u went about gettign yur skylines, and the high preformenec parts for them. Could i get an estimate on som of yur guys insurance, will most cover skylines?

thanks

You can get your Skyline legalized at Motorex. Prices for legalization will vary, depending on what generation you have.

At first, Skylines could be insured as a "Special Edition Nissan 240SX," though I'm not sure if this is the case now.

thanks mang, is there any other place than motorex for legalization?

and i talked to my insurance agency and they said that they would accept it as a SE 240

u can get one from rbmotoring talk to Sean Morris. As far as insurance goes u can also have them do it as a stated value vehicle.

coool, thanks, i most likly will not get a skyline for at least 4 months, im only 17 and i just signed up for the army so i can get $$$$ for a car, and i originaly wanted to supe up my impreza RS but i've been finding massive skylins f/s in the UK and japan for cheap so i'd rathr have a skyline


unless i can get a GTR for 20k or lower, i'm lookin at the GTS, turbonetics T series turbo chargers make a 1200 whp turbo charger for skylines of all types, so im lookin into this for my power

20 g's is going to be diffcult but not impossible. Don't for get about tax and title that could blow your 20 grand away.

Unless your going to be drag racing everyday you dont need and won't have a place to use that much power. There's alot of thing that you have to change as soon as you hit 600hp. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=133829
check this out it'll give you an idea of what it takes.

Don't forget that if you're planning on upgrading the turbos, you'll need to upgrade a lot of other parts such as injectors, fuel pump, intercooler, intake, downpipe, exhaust, computer, clutch, etc...

These parts are expensive for the skylines...

1200whp turbo for a GTS? Hmmm...

[Real GTR]

Did u look at that link? You have no Idea what your getting into with trying to get that much power. Did you include labor to install everything and what about head work? You should get the car first and then worry about eveyrthing else after that.

I'm getting ready to repaint the whole thing I'll have it back together and down at Cavalcade of Customs in January. Here's some old pic when I just got it.

Out of an RB25? That's probably a bit too much. Ken Nomura, a D1 driver, is pushing just under 500hp(crank, iirc) out of his R34 sedan's RB25. That's probably as high as you should go on one of those motors, even with a buildup.

You'll need an RB26 is you want 600-700whp, and RB26 means buying GT-R, unless you're willing to do a swap.

[IMPREZA MANG]

damn, well how fast do u think 500whp r34 GT turbo would be in the Q/M?
