they allow it in Cali. U just gotta mod the car to meet emmisions.
But to import one, costs $$$~!

Personally,. I like the skyline, but I dunno, i don't think it's the god's of all cars though, but i like them though. those things kick serious butt.

And I like show and some go...

Buying a Skyline will cost you not that much but getting it to pass inspection from state and federal government will cost MUCHO cash. If you go past the MotoRex factory you see skylines lined up in front as a showcase.

it's overrated. asian people think it's god.

all you gotta know is that, a stock z06 will outhandle and will destroy it also in straight line racing.

and if you wanna say, a modded skyline would kill the z06, well, a modded z06 would kill the skyline.

but the skyline has more technology than we will ever know about.. in canada they have a law that says any car that is 15 years old+ is fair game, so the 1989 r32 skyline is legal there as of august. over here, it's a 25 year rule =\

also, no i don't think the skyline is the best import car ever. i'd rather take a ferrari enzo cool.gif

Well, I'm pretty sure a "modded" Nissan Skyline can beat a "modded" Chevy Corvette Z06. The Nissan Skyline is an awesome machine, I haven't seen a Corvette that has come close to it or even match it's amazing grace and power.

fastest drag cars = domestic. they're meant for straight line racing where as imports are meant for an all around nice handling and decent speed. we live in amerca though (well atleast i do). to make a skyline have as much power as a z06, it would cost you an arm and a leg. everything would have to be imported from a different country, where as chevy parts are manufactured over here and are ALOT cheaper.

hmm... wow skyline .. u know that the body kit is heavy? even tho it is fast... it cost to much xD ...

and its only good for people who knows how to drive manual .. if u drive automatic its useless :) cause my friend has one ...

well.. the skyline has a heavy body kit even tho its fast ... it would be dangerous to race lol .. unless ur just showing off to race. It wouldn't win in a raining race or a rally race cause its a 2 - wheel drive not a 4 wheel drive.

im sticking with my mistubishi twin turbo evo 7 or 8 :)

what are you talking about. the skyline GT-R is AWD, and the GT-S is RWD. The gt-r sends more power to the rear wheels at high speeds for even better acceleration, yet it's still awd, and you could always turn that off

and the evo is a 4 cylinder, so it's not a twin turbo.. only single.

Just move to Japan and go buy yourself one, you can easily find one under 20k. It'll be much cheaper than brining it over here. You have to consider that you'll be buying a used one. Nissan stop producing these machines as of dec. 02 as for making the skyline legal here, there's a company called MotoRex that imports them over here. Getting the car to pass emission would be the easiest thing to do; it’s the safety standards that are a bit hard. In order to bring a car that isn't originally here in the U.S you must do crash testing and see if it meets the U.S safety laws. Crash testing is very expensive! Haha

QUOTE

you're probably right, but it all depends on what you're planing to do with the car. Take a Stagea those car are like for dads who refuse to grow up and be responsible. Stagea you say?? Just think of a skyline with a wagon body!! woo woo here is a picture of a Stagea with a R34 front end conversion.

thank you l00d *tear* i dont think I could have said it better myself. The car is pretty over rated if I do say so myself. I was at an import show one time and there was a skyline there and everyone was about to bust a nut when they saw it. Its just a car and I personally would prefer a different car over skyline anytime. Give me a Nissan Silvia S15 model *DROOL*.

Ok lets face it..every asian is obessed with the Skyline R33 R34 doesnt matter, i mean yea it is a nice car..but, to obsess over it like this..i mean there is even a damn forum about it?! Im an integra man myself..JDM Honda Integra Type-R much lighter than the skyline, because in Japan..the Skyline is a family econo vehicle <Much like the Honda Civic in America> so yea..i dont see the need to obess over it so much huh.gif

Well, there are only illegal if you directly transport it here without making it meet U.S Smog Emissions or something. You have to transport it through moterEX and they'll make it street legal for you.

He's exactly right. THEY ARE NOT BANNED in the US, you can import them here if they're modified to fit US regulations, one company that does that for you is Motorex, but I'm sure there's more _smile.gif And yes, you can drive it, they're perfectly legal.

meh, they've already said, it's the smog emissions and rules that they're illegal to drive. If you don't pass it through motorex and get it through smog emissions then it's illegal to drive like any other car. Except it cost lots and lots of money to bring over and take it through motorex.

not only is the emissions a problem but the car does not have 5 mile an hour bumpers on them which also need to be replaced.

just letting you guys know.

The new skyline in Japan is the infinit g35 coupe here. Just check out the Japan's Nissan website.

But yeah, importing a GTR has to be smog legal and such. Driving on the right hand side is allowed as well! Lol

hahahah, I hope you're talking about a used lambo, cuz a new one is way more expensive than a skyline, even with all the costs of getting it over here.

haha need for speed underground, thats a video game, it doesn't do the skyline justice _smile.gif

And yes, I do know the Infiniti G35 is a skyline, but it's obvious he's talking about the R32-R34 skyline.

i heard this guy stripped a skyline and shipped it piece by piece. u have to let it pass emissions, but once that's done, u can put all the jdm parts back on. skylines are too powerful to be in the US =) a g35c is also considered a skyline, but obviously it doesn't have the same engine. i raced one and we were dead even on the highway.

Bringing a Skyline to the US is a BAD idea, once you go through the trouble of getting it here you'll only have one day to celebrate before you wake up and hear it screeching off down your street with thieves laughing at you.

the skyline is overrated.. and it's only the gt-r and gt-s that is so great. they also make 4 door version that are considered family cars. and the new skyline IS the g35, and everything about the one we have here and the one in japan is exactly the same, they have the same engine. the only thing is, is that just because it's a skyline doesn't automatically make it the GT-R, which is the performance model of the skyline. that version hasn't been released yet, and when it is, it will have a whole new design.

anyways, as much as i love imports (own an s2000), i'd rather spend less and get a z06 which would be even faster and handle better for less money.

oh yeah.. and like everyone else said, it's not banned, it's just really EXPENSIVE to get it into the US on your own. it's WAAAAAAAAY better to do it through motorex or some other company that specializes in importing and legalizing automobiles

nah I knew bout the infiniti thing cuz I had already been on that site... but it's not exactly the same thing.. but yeah it's pretty much the same idea.. anyways.. I don't have the money to buy either one so I'll juss have to content myself with a hoopti in the meantime.. that and... i think driving on the right side instead of left has got to suck... I'm still in love with the S2000... and I don't care if people say it sucks.. IT DOESN'T!!

stock for stock, the z06 handles better. i can show you proof and show you how many G's it pulled on the road course, but i doubt you care =\

and if you took both of them to the track, the z06 would still pull better laptimes =]

I saw some Skylines before on a car importing site... they were like $70k - $80k to import here... ha... what a waste of money.. besides, they are like half that in Japan. Skylines are only for show here. I would rather get a Supra and with all that extra money... ahhh.... dribble.gif

the skyline is illigel in the US because of its smog emissions. MotorEX makes them legal for you. My brother knows somebuddy with one and they are cRaZy @_@
