Past Skyline owner , Future evo8 owner!

Hi guys my name is Alex I'm 22, I live in Canada and moving to Saratoga springs NY in about 2-3 weeks to go work with my dad. Ive just sold my Nissan Skyline r33 gts-t , I would of loved to bring it to the states but as of you all know the laws are different. So for a while I was confused about wich car I wanted between a 04 wrx sti or evo8 , after alot of research on this site and nasioc I came to the conclusion that the evo was the choice for me , basically for look wise and the potentiel this machine has. So I'm in the market right now everyday trying to find an evo8 stock or basic bolt ons with max 100k miles for about 14k and there arent too many ahah most of them are a 20 hour drive away.

Anyway you guys probably want to see a pic of the old Highway monster so here you go!




Cant wait to have an evo and be part of the scene!

I thought about it , but if you live outside of Canada for 6 months its basically like your not a citizen there ... you are but your medicare card gets canceled etc etc

It would of been amazing though I went once to NY with the r33 and people were going ape **** when they saw the car!

I understand that if you Live outside of Canada for 6 months that can happen. BUT all you have to do is go back within 6 months.. Even for a day.. as long as you do that, they cannot cut off your registration. I mean Im just saying Owning a R33 is badass and if i could do that and all I had to do was go visit canada every 6 months? I would!

Yeah they do a pretty good job too bad they are overpriced through. I dont know whos that crazy enough to pay six figures but if I can have enough to pay for six figures I may as well own a house flat out right.

What????? You can get every kind of skyline in Australia, there is way to many over here, especially R32 and R33's. they are very cheap aswell you can get a decent r33 gtst for around $6000 - $9000. the gtr's seem to hold there value a bit better but a r33 gtr goes for around $20000. Evo's are worth alot more than skylines in australia.
