Trade My Car 4 a Skyline????

Hey guys I know this is going to sound crazy but I rode in it today. Would you trade your EVO with 22,000 miles, perfect condition (basically buschur stage 4 car with a rnr 3076r turbo kit, ems, and tein flex suspension) for a 95 R33 M spec (meaning rear wheel drive with the rb25det) with about 40,000 miles on it. Car is perfect and registered in Colorado and even passed emissions. The only reason I am considering this is it is such a different car and so unique. They also had a cherry 240 with a rb26det and rb25 tranny it it, with all the goodies. The skyline is silver and basically stock. The place that is selling them is www.9secondracing.com and they just opened up a shop locally by me. The 240sx was on the cover of turbo not to long ago, sick car but for some reason I am leaning towards the stock skyline. I am bringing mar car down there tomorrow to have them see if they are interested in working a deal. They want 35K for the skyline and 30k for the 240sx. thanks guys

Skyline = Yes
You could probably do your own 240sx for less.

I might do it just because the car is rare. I don't know though because I love my evo and the all wheel drive. If I was going to a skyline I would want the gtr with awd. Just my .02

Yeah that 240SX is unbelievable, didn't spare any expense on that thing. But the skyline is just incredible. And there is no way, I could not trade my car for a R34. way more money.

I would not make the trade. A RWD RB25 R33 is one of the least desired Skylines out there. You need 2 of those 3 combinations to be either AWD, RB26, and R34.
I would much rather keep the Evo as it's more reliable and probably a better car.

BTW, I saw the How-To swap for the RB26DETT 240sx in Modified Mag. Now that is one unique car...it has no room for air conditioning as I recall, and they used a RB25 tranny b/c it was probably the most readily available one...I would almost say that car is worth 30k because of the headache of putting one together...

So would you trade your evo for that 240, the thing is as fast is my car. But that engine in both cars are extremely capable.

I would have to sleep on trade for the 240sx...if you want unique, that might be the only RB26 swap here in the US!

But right now, if it was my money, I would still lean towards a no....only b/c I'm personally, in love with ONLY the R34 GTR...

Interesting, I guess I kind of feel the same way. But that skyline has vspec everything, spoiler, side skirts, front bumper. How hard do you thing the tranyy awd swap would be, or is it even possible.
