I was at the game too...but I wasn't one of the people who "harrassed" the Texas fans...is it that big of a deal down there about the harrassment? Most of the Texas fans there were Alumnis all older than my dad...

I would do it. Skylines are pretty cool and ultra rare(in the USA)...

I sat in an R33 GTS-T before... its ok but much rather have the GTR. A place here sells the R33 GTS-Ts for about 20K, not legalized. In terms of go fast, it will be really fast when modded. Stock R33 GTS-T is 250hp but since it is RWD, it can pull faster at high speeds and less drivetrain loss.


the 240SX.. An RB26 will make it really nose heavy and throw off the balance of the car. That's why I chose the more traditional turbo route in my 240SX.

that 240 has the worst intercooler ever to exist, intake air temps and prob through the roof. I wouldnt trade man. My boss has a 1996 r33 v-spec GTR and its a cool car and all but ITS STILL 10 YEARS OLD. and being that old it has the sounds, interior look and feel of a 10 year old car. they also cost a ton of $ to make fast and parts take forever. i considered buying a skyline and a evo6 before i got my 2005 gsr but after my boss buying this i decided against it. also skylines draw a ton of attention, its cool at first but gets played after a few months of stupid kids almost running you off the road to take pics with their camera phones while driving.

juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust to let you know that car is only that much because its legalized. over in japan that skyline is worth about 12k. a r33 in the same year with a clean body and stock engine is worth around 18k

I agree, but I have lived in japan, driven as many skylines as I would have cared to and would still say that they are better. The EVO is obtainable, hence lower price, R-34 not so obtainable, hence higher price, I love my EVO but the skyline, (and I would be making reference to the one that I drove, a 98) is a way better car.

The 240 is super sick, That would be my choice. Or you could wait for the DM Skyline.
