Is this what happens when you own a Skyline GTR in the U.S.?

I live in CA and I have an R33 living less than 1 mile away, then I've seen 3 skylines (R32 R33 R34) all in the same day at my local dragstrip.. Plus lots more seen at D1GP

I don't make that big of a deal...

I used to live in anahiem and I would see loads of exotica at newport beach. I forget the Skylines I've seen at the first couple of D1's. So my previous statement isn't as accurate as I had originally intended.

But yeah, not quite sure the big deal, but then I see people in the midwest freaking out about seeing a Porsche, I'm used to a porsche being as common as a honda in SoCal.

It's a nice car, but I think it's a little to expensive knowing that you can get a brand new Nismo Z-Tune for about the same

[musk!]

no doubt ill take the z-tune over the R34 NUR 2002

It's one hell of a beautiful Skyline BNR34 GTR. M.spec Nur edition is very rare. This one is a fine tuned car, excelent done! :thumb: It only misses Nismo front hood then it would be PERFECT!

[sakuraguy]

Yah .. good ones. thnx for sharing. Nowadays there's alot skylines in West Malaysia .. R32, R33 and R34 also some Nurburgring specs running icludes some duplicate version of Z-Tune's ... can see everyday! ..

[sakuraguy]

Yep I do sakuraguy. All drag record holder in Thailand for street tuned cars are all Skylines running low or 9 flat at the 1/4 mile. We got one I think he's doing high 8 second 240SX body with Skyline RB26-DETT engine under the hood

I think US american Car guys need to make a push to get a bill that says we can import cars that aren't safe if we are willing to accept the fact that we can't resell it (in the usa) and that it's not a safe car by US standards. This way we can bring in the kick ass cars we don't get, like the older evo's, skylines and what not.

GTRJack: Why do you live in both Thailand and Norway? seems like an odd combo of places to move back and forth between.

[GTRJack]

^^ thedguy, well it's a bit complicated maybe. I'm Thai but I grew up in Norway since I was 5 years old. After I served the army I moved back to Thailand/Bangkok to study for couple of years. After my bechalor graduation I started my own business selling car accessories, styling and such in Bangkok. I also design body kits, spoilers and develop aero parts for all kind of cars (graphic design). Now I'm back to Norway for another business I've invested (about import and export). In Thailand I had Skyline R32 GTR for 2 years.. Loved to death .. Well that's my story..

I've heard Best Motoring call both the skyline and the supra "muscle machines"
