Shoot, if you ever find an easy way to import a Skyline, let me know. I've been trying to do it for the past few years. Not doing so well.

you can get them used for $15K... brought over here will run about $15K too... by the time you are done you have a $30K used car.

There's lots for sale for 30K. But they are the R33. Some are legal, some are not. R34's are the hard part. Here's a site. www.Evolutionimports.com

part of the allure of motoRex was that they made them legal for you

It came from a place in Montreal. It was shipped for $2250... motor trans ECU. It came out of an early R33. Its the 2.5 litre inline 6 single turbo. Its a sexy lil thing with the greddy intake manifold and a 90mm throttle body on it, lol

Yes, it's a RB25DET.I'm not sure the cost of the RB26DETT. He opted out of the RB26DETT since most people go from twin turbo to HUGE single turbo on those and since the RB25 is already single turbo, why not save the money for an even bigger one, lol. You can get a stroker kit for the RB25, however it'll run you $4000. Once the car is done, he'll be running around 550-600 hp easily. Kinda scary considering the thing weight around 2500 lbs and we managed to put it in a ditch going 35 mph on a slick road. Can't wait to see what it does once its back on the road. Hopefully the 275's hes got the back keep it stuck to the ground. He's got 315 drag radials for the track if he ever makes it there.
