Nisson GTR

[Jason Heppner]

One of my friends used to have a 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS-T that he bought from applewood kia in langley.  That thing blew up, so he put at RB25DET in it.. then he went 200 into a ditch in the rain...  wrote the car off

about 2 weeks after ICBC paid him out.. he imported 2 cars from japan.  He now has a 1992 Mazda RX7 FD , and the other car he brought in for another friend of mine was a 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS-T.  The new skyline came with a RB25DET straight from japan (obviously not factory, but thats how it came when it got off the boat)   Now they are just working on getting them inspected and actually passing... lol   RX7 has been in 5 times, they keep failing him and giving him a new list of shit to fix... wiring up side markers, daytime running lights, etc.  So the RX7 still will be another month before its on the road...

The skyline though, it will be a little longer... it sits until Friend #2 gets a job... lol


Oh, also forgot to mention...

After ICBC paid off the first skyline.. friend#1 got 18 grand back.
He imported BOTH cars, the FD and the GTS-T for a grand total... of 11 grand. included shipping.  FD costed 6 grand, and the GTS-T costed 4.5 grand

imported cars are cheap as hell.... my VR4 costs me $2000 shipped and everything that's already like 240bhp 4WD and everything luxurious LOL.

Anyhoo a Eclipse VS GTR would be highly unfavorable to the Eclipse. Top speed of GTR = 317km/h top speed for a DSM is 240 at best.

so while you are approaching top speed squeezing every click out of your 4 pot motor, the GTR is approaching cruise speed.

for-get-a-bout-it.

Also why hasn't anyone pointed out that it's NISSAN not NISSON!!!

i saw one with a N on one couple weeks ago and i just shook my head.  i guess some people just have too much damn money and buy their spoiled kid anything even though they deserve squat 

saw an audi r8 with an N...powered by mom!

speaking of GTR's

How much do these GTR weigh?
How about an EVO vs GTR???

[John Hartman]

The new GTR is FAT.  Not sure of the weight, but its apparently very heavy for a sports coupe.

[Jason Harwood]

Id put my money on an EVO 10 with 450horse against a GTR

I didnt think you could have a jdm import insured and on the road in canada unless it was 15 years old:S how does that brand new gtr have bc plates...:S

[neen tang]

thats a left hand drive gtr baught in canada.  i have seen some imports insured in canada that are less then 15 years old but its not done the legal way lol

[Shane Sawatzki]

thats crazy, I was unaware you could get a north american gtr.... cuz back in the 89-93 skyline gtr's...they never existed on the north american market if i am correct? so how would someone get one now? custom ordered thru nissan or what? how much they cost in canadian $

[John Hartman]

so they corrected that issue to allow them to be sold here.  Sold in USA too.

JDM R34 GTR



this was from a revscene meet like 2 years ago...but yah i dont know how he was able to put bc plates on it

[neen tang]

isnt that from the revscene meet back in early march?  from what i people have told me...the guy can only insure his car for a year or two because he moved from back east and that vehicle is what he brought with him.  that is what i heard so im not 100% sure...

[Sy Haw Wong]

The rule is still 15 years.  Or else you would see everyone importing vehicles that are less ~ I would even consider a Silvia S15 

People with imports less than 15 years usually import them on special terms.  These are usually classified as show cars.  They basically do not see the light of day most of the year and garage kept.

From what I heard this guy brought his car (R34) out ONLY on that day for the show.  Any other day it would be illegal for him to be driving this car around.

[neen tang]

yeah i agree with you about the s15.  i would do a s15 with a rb26dett and make it look mean!  maybe like this?
