i wonder waht it takes to legalise a skyline in the US there is one here in MO that i have seen at NOPI a few times but have never talked to the girl who drives it.
You need to have it registerd under as a kit car or something and it needs to be sent in parts as a frame to the US then assembled here

I agree.... at laest i can say it 
honestly saying something about getting a skyline is just as bad as saying I gonna get an ENZO or I want an enzo since it is basically impossible not even at a money stand point just in rarity and leagality

you can make them leagal
The cost for us to legalize a car for you varies from $16,000 - $25,000 depending on the year of the vehicle. This does not include shipping , bonds ,tarriffs , custom brokerage fee , and associated shipping
as I was saying it needs to be assembld why do you think there are so few. I have seen one street driving ever the rest are not street car for a REASON

If you take a cheap R32... then yea thats easy done. They are only like $10,000

and total cost is like 25k all said and done and you have an ugly skyline that is older and slower. Supra is a screaming deal in this case

dont flame me but the R32 is my favorite skyline. that and the 69 datsun skyline GTR

Do you have any idea how simple it is to get a 550hp R32? My friend got one at an auction for only £3200... thats like $6000

look on Ebay and in the US there are a few for sale sometimes and they are like $20k plus
not to mention that is not shipped to US shores not brocken into peices for a rebuild on our side. add that into effect and it more than doubles what you just payed for the car

Conclusion: In the USA it is not worth buying a skyline lol

yup yup. it is just a ricer thing to do IMO. there are so many cars jsut as much potencial at a better cost and can still be rare to have.
MKIV supra only 7900 and some change ever shipped to US soil total from 93-98 not per year total most car are produced more than that in a year.
Or how bout the Alpine silver supra of 1995 with teh TT and hard top roof only 2 EVER shipped to the US

Well ya the TT is a joke. all High HP supras pull off the TT and go with one HUGE single turbo setup (which I would do)

^same with the 6g72tt. one of these days i will own a vr-4 with a single turbo upgrade

well that car is a different story. TT may be better for a V6 platform. plus it is harder to fit a big turbo in that bay (its done commonly but I see alot of EVO 16G\20G upgrades)

so how does the VR4 play into things?
davidmitsusrock
9/23/2006 12:02:00 AM
i was comparing it to the supra single turbo upgrade being commonly done....

yes it is a tight fit but with the whole Y pipe thing the single turbo upgrade just seems better. anyone know if Matt Monnett's stealth is running single or twin?
