    For $100k I'd rather have a new bolt-on Z06 with low miles and a warrantee as a DD, or a more modified C6 as a toy. The skyline is ugly IMO, and old.
    for 100k id rather have the FORD GT.

    all i have to say is that a stock GTR-34 or 33 or 32 aint shit ,yes they are nice, and yes they can be turned into monsters no doubt, but theres no such thing as a skyline an illegal car for the US anymore , i've seen plenty at car meetings , specially GTR-34's, just my .02 cents.

    Nope, they're the same as they are here.



    And yes, Skylines are very common there. In the three years I was there, I couldn't count how many I saw. They're kind of like the F-Body of Japan.

    Skylines are the shit. Funny thing is that in Japan, they're a dime-a-dozen. I'd love an R-34.

    BTW, I don't think the new GTR and G35 have all that much in common. New GTR is killer. Unfortunately it will will your wallet, too.

    Around that area I used to see a few skylines especial a blue gtr34 vspec. I saw a r32 a few years ago at Dallas Genntlemans that was driven by some Arab. he gave me his card, said they imported them and converted them. lost the card though. before I die I want to roll in a r34.

    BTW, I couldnt imagine rowing gears with my left.

    It feels weird at first, but the bigger issue is relearning how to drive on the other side. Its hard to judge where the lane deviders are, inconvenient for drive through anything.
