I just want the car that will earn the most pu$$y points. LOL.

I think a 4th gen Supra is a pretty good pantydropper and a decent sportscar to boot.

 

point noted but ignorant no, everyone knows that the US wants High horse power lots of torque, Nissan sales were not bad where did you get that, lets see 510, 240z, 260z, 280z . Since when was the skyline a luxury car. Now which is it high performance or luxury. BTW there are not a lot of cars that are shipped here if that manufactory believes he can make money. weaker, slower, less impressive now that's flat out ignorant.

My whole point is, if Nissan was to bring this particular vehicle here a decade ago (late 80s or early 90s), it has the potential that no other domestic production sports cars would able to compete. period.

That's ignorant . The car guy couldn't afford the technology which wasn't that great compared to now. Potential right. Say No to Drugs

 

I agree with you on that but my point is its way over rated and over priced. BTW I happened to see Street Tuner Challenge they had 3 tuners. The tuners had 12 weeks to make the stock car of their choice into a Super tuned machine. well to make a long story short a well known tuner company put together a super Skyline GTR, 800 hp. It Broke !!!! even the stock one they had someone bring to set a base lap for the time attack Broke!!!! Say No to Drugs Case Closed.

 

^^I saw the show you are talking about but not the final comp show, they were going way overboard with that build. KISS=keep it simple stupid

 

Btw, as for skyline gtr racing wins NOT in Japan.....here's a couple......

"1991-Nurburgring 24 hour endurance race Group N class the Skyline GT-R won in the first participation of the event. At Spa Francorchamps 24 hour endurance race in the same year of 1991, the GT-R won onverall in Group A, and Goup N1 beating long time competitor cars."

"1994-Because of its dominance, the Skyline was given its own series in 1994 the JGTC (Japan GT car) series."
-Motorex.net

"1991-1997- The Skyline was undefeated in N1 endurance racing in Japan, winning all 50 series."

-Motorex.net : Who said that Motorex, can you say Bias lets consider the source but at least you have something other than your talking, I'll follow up on it when I have a little extra time.

^I saw the show you are talking about but not the final comp show, they were going way overboard with that build. KISS=keep it simple stupid

That's not the car selling point from what I see here "1000 hp!!!" yeah and watch the car crumble around you. You saw that happen with 800 hp didn't you. Ok its cool I made my point and you saw it with your own eyes, I'm done until I research motorex.net info. BTW explain the stock GTR demise at the track, later guys

 

i would say that the equivalent to the GTR in the US would be the MKIV supra. now that's a beast as well as a helluva good car. you wanna talk about goodies, 3.0L twin turbo inline-6 engine, cast-iron block, getdrag tranny (capable of handling 800hp easy), no keep in mind that this engine is very similar to nissan's RB26DETT engine that came on the skyline.

bottomline, the R34 skyline is nissans top produced car. in japan, they go for around 40-45K or so. i would consider them a sports luxury car, especially in japan because just to own a car in japan, you would have to have money. but yeah, i can agree that 100K for a nissan isn't a very good price and in fact, wayyyyy overpriced. but that's just how things go. but in terms of technology, the R34 would be one of the most technologically advanced cars in the late 90's. also, it's response to modifications is what makes it such a drool. take the MKIV supras, ask any owner (me included), this car responds unbelieveably to modifications, with exception to the finicky MAF sensor, but other than that, you don't need to do too much to this engine to get it to produce some major power (still in stock form).

and you still think that the GTR is nothing? this is limited quality also, keep in mind. much like the murcelago's and enzo's, and much better may i say.

 

You are joking right? Say no to Drugs

in Japan not anywhere else lets get it right. nice try

 

Of course only in Japan... it's a fricken Japanese Manufactured car. You don't see any british cars dominating in JGTC right... cause they have their own domesticated series, called BTCC and or LM. I never seen an AUDI win a JGTC race and I never seen a Skyline win a British/Euro LM race. Do you know why? Cause theres no such thing as a Skyline entering into a Euro sanctioned race series. Of course the skyline only wins in Japan cause it dominates JGTC. duh.

And WRC has no specifications on MAKE/MODEL in their series unlike GT500, JGTC BTCC, etc. You can drive a Puegot, AUDI, EVO, WRX, etc no problems.

Besides having your opinion about the Skyline, is it right to say the corvette is overrated because its ugly, and only dominates in the US? NO.

Your opinion is your opinion. The skyline is a 15 year bloodline of evolution for nissan motor co. It never made it to US shores like the Supra, mitsubishi 3000GT, and the NSX. What a shame. Yeah it's ugly and doesn't appeal (maybe) to the "racer crowd" looks wise, but its well built and has unlimited potential.

You might "know" more and appreciate more about where the car started and what it can be if you studied more about it rather than watch Best motoring videos(you probably cant even understand japanese) and Fast N Furious, just to get into the hype a few years ago, when this cars been out in the JDM for 15 friken years already. You probably just started to buy Japan videos and books, and here you are already baggin on one of the greatest JDM supercars in history....goes to show how much you THINK you understand.

So your point on it being ugly... okay yeah it might need a little help in the looks dept. But saying the car is "overrated"? NOW you have NO idea what you're talking about.

 

Anyone seen the best motoring SKYLINE vid? The STi had the best trap in the group which included an R34, evo...ect. But yes the Skyline is pretty sick for being able to handle such HP.

 

You have never driven one so I think you should be the one stop talking and making a fool out of yourself. Start making friends and connections and you will get that chance and see what its all about.

Say no to drugs? <-- what are you poster child of DARE program? lol

 

Did you think U.S would let a foreign car manufacturer(s) take over its own market on its own soil back in the 80s and 90s? There's alot of politics involved.

 

OK let's close this thread. Importing Skylines to the USA is expensive and should be left to rich folks who don't know any better.
