holy Sh!t!!! - Page 2

btw, in case you are curious, the first one is a twin turbo...the second, a single turbo

hardtops were also no longer made in TT version after 1995.  not sure if that holds true over seas but here the only hardtops after 95 were NA in there origanal form

and if I looked close enough I could have noticed the second is RHD

Please explain to me what the difference is in the USDM and the JDM ones? The price difference is massive

oops, sorry, neither of these were the twins, here are the listings

import tariff and the "we make it suck" package

Other way round.. the USDM are the more expensive

uh huh cause you have to pay an import tariff and the added expense of making it suck

Wrong, in the US market.. the USDM ones still sell for more when compared to an imported JDM Supra. Aparently there is a difference in the build quality. But Mike never went into detail

oh, you mean like a GM, Ford, etc? Union wages.
 
The difference in build quality is BS. everybody knows US workers are lazy, low-quality making couch monkeys.

Your missing me again. The USDM ones are built BETTER. lol

you mean like American made toyotas and other american made japanese models?
have you ever driven one made in japan?
 
I'll take japanese construction..but the quality of the steel they use is poorer.

I dont know why exactly

well i hate lexus but badass!

Sebba there are alot of differences.  The turbos on the JDM suck.  The motor is not as good.  They are quite a bit slower.   For once we got the better car over the JDM market where it was built

now if only we could get the better skyline. or any at all for that matter..
arent they supposed to start importing them in the next couple years tho?

The turbos run less boost and are smaller and run less efficeint.  the motor itself is built a little differently if im not mistaken

what's wrong with the motors?

the skyline comes to america in 08 3.8L V6 tt awd supposed to have like 450hp and cost like 80k

yay! its cheaper then the lexus
