the fact is he didnt mess up model year. he said he had a skyline gt-r34 v-spec.... he has said it a few times, well i decided to ask this time, considering the r34 gts didnt come out till 98, and the gtr34 came out in late 99. the r33 was produced up until 97. so for him to have a 1995 gtr34 is impossible. im not saying he doesnt have a skyline, im saying he doesnt have an r34. the fact is yes... we could all be lying, and yes it doesnt matter that someone has a ferrari or a civic. or even any car at all, but the fact is when you lie you lose credibility. i say feel free to post if you know something, or if you want to learn something. but dont lie. obviously if you didnt know and you thought you were right is a different story. but to say you have a 1995 gt-r34 is a bold faced lie. i dont care wheather you have one or not skyline. hopefully you do because they are sweet cars, but if you are lying ... come clean and start a new.

both. what else did you spend on it?

Getting a skyline is not as easy as jus buyin one and have it sent thru the mail 2 get here.

U have to goto Japan, look at the car and then if ur satisfied with it then u start doin all the paper's in order jus to buy it.

That alone costs upto $3,000. Then there's final closin fee's that u have 2 pay and that was $1,800.

Actual shipping was i believe around $1,600 but sum ppl have gotten it for $1,200 depends on the model car.

The car itself was $36,000. After it finally gets to USA then a company called MotoRex r the

only people that that can actually legalize the skyline in the US, legally.

They charged $21,000 to legalize it 2 be in America.

All that is required to have a skyline in the USA.

So all in all i paid bout $63,400 to have paid for, shipped, paper work done on it, trip to japan and have it legalized in America.

If u still don't believe me then by all means don't. :lol: Like i said i could careless if u do or not.

Thanx LNC for bein the only 1 that can possibly see my airheadedness and yes i truely have a 99 skyline GT-R R34 V-spec.

I looked up MotoRex's fone # and they keep records of all cars that r legalized

and they said (after 40 min wait) i had a 1999 from their records that way i knew for sure.

i still think its possible that you could have the skyline. however i will always be certain that you wont ever get above 800 on your SATs. but just so that we can bring peace to this whole subject, have someone take a picture of you with the rear of your skyline behind you(so you can see the entire car) giving a thumbs up. i will host it and this will shut everyone up.

Geschrieben

i'll agree to that, but i want to see R34 giving us a peace sign next to his R34. He clearly must be confused, listen to all that.

And latenight, this is the internet, you have to decide to believe or not believe people knowing full well they just may be lieing. As for kleine having a garage full of exotics, if you've been to la Jolla, you'd believe he had those too :D .

Anyhow, this is a stupid argument, it's just irratating when people make stuff up and talk things that aren't true.

I still dont belive it.How can u have a car registered and still not know its a 99 when it says the year on the registration.It also says the year on the title.You mean to tell me you have been driving around in a car that u own and dont know the year.Cmon thats not possible even if your an idiot.

Geschrieben

be careful sergio, as good of a question as that was, it has no good answer.

Geschrieben

Personally, I doubt that a Skyline can be bought from japan with total costs of nearly 63000$. The car is 90000$ when it goes out of the factory gate. It's a very valued car so the after market price should not fall so much...

Last time when I went on motorex's web page (for curiosity purposes at thiw moment ) an R33 was 87000$ and I don't believe they had any R34 still available.

So, ur data, I don't think it's so accurate.

Geschrieben

Well, it's like this. Maybe someone makes up things when they become a member because they thought they may not be taken seriously otherwise, like Bleh or whomever thinking he would lose credibility if people knew his age. It does not mean you are an out and out " liar ", but the net itself is a forum begging for tall tales. Who says Kleine lives in LaJolla? Maybe thats' true, or maybe it's really East L.A. :D. Anyway, I don't put any store in it if someone is adamant about having an Enzo, an F1, and an Egg. But if they are interesting to exchange posts with, and they have good things to say, thats' all that really matters around here.

And about the price of imported Skylines. They very greatly depending on condition and such.

Geschrieben

i've never heard of anyone getting one in under 100k. 63k is hell cheap. The better question is why pay that much for a skyline. The R34 is outperformed by an M3 anyhow. If you want something for tuning, a supra or 3000GT is available here for a much more reasonable price.

Skylines just don't impress me that much.

Hallo VitoAndolini-1,

 

schau doch mal hier zum Thema Zubehör für Verschiedenes über Autos (Anzeige)? Eventuell gibt es dort etwas Passendes.

I think it's more of a novelty thing. There is a strong mistique surrounding the Skyline, and some people are willing to pay for it. Even though they could have something as fast or faster for less.

I think that a Skyline is really hard to get is one of the things that make the car valued by people, especially in the import racing world. Any fool can buy a Supra or 3000GT.

Skylines just don't impress me that much.

To some they do simply because they are arguably the best that Japan has to offer, and those people want a Japanese car. Don't get me wrong, I would much rather have a Euro car than a Jap car, but I can see why someone might be impressed by the Skyline.

Geschrieben

yes, i'll agree, it is rare and has a great mystique to it. I would argue that the NSX and Supra are every bit as good of cars, and the WRX STi and EVO are better japanese cars for the money. From what I read, the R34 typically goes for around $120k fully emmissions legalized and imported. It still is right hand drive, and isn't THAT fast. Think of it like this, for 120k, you could have a 911 Turbo, which is also very rare, has a huge mystique, is all wheel drive, a six and twin turbo. here is how the two stack up:

Car: R34 GT-R 911TT EVO

Engine: 2.6L I-6 3.6L F-6 2.0 L I-4

Layout: DOHC 4V DOHC 4V DOHC 4V

Power: 280hp 420hp 276hp

Weight: 3,672lbs 3,445lbs 2,993lbs

0-60 5.2 sec. 3.9 sec. 4.6 sec.

Top Spd: 158mph 192mph 162mph

So, it is slaughtered by the equally priced 911 Turbo (which has a warrantee, and the driver sits on the correct side, and you can get parts for it), and the EVO, for a little over 1/4 of the price also appears to top it. As much mystique and rarity as it has, the performance just isn't there.

nissan underrates the r34 a lot. but also you have to remember that there is a very very large variety of skylines out there. the gtr v-spec is supposed to be the cream, i dont anything exact but i know that there a broad selection that does not perform nearly as well as the gtr v-spec. i think the base skylines actually start at around $50k. i dont think there were any r34 gtr v-specs ever imported to the US yet. from what ive read most people get a gtr then modify it.

either way, i wouldnt want to pass on a 2 way road with a rhd car...

Geschrieben

I haven't heard much on the V-Spec, i'm saying an R34 could be imported for a grand total of $120k. For 120k, i could have a 911 turbo, which would rape the R34.

Geschrieben

the thing is ive seen 911 turbos, ferarris, lotus's and lamborghinis all in person. however, i still have never seen a skyline in person.

a brief update:

have someone take a picture of you with the rear of your skyline behind you(so you can see the entire car) giving a thumbs up. i will host it and this will shut everyone up.
no response, no email.
Geschrieben

yeah, i'll give you that one. Parts are hard if not impossible even by supercar standards, and are you really willing to pay that premium to have one? I personally would rather import something a little more interesting like a TVR if i were out to spend that sort of money.

Well folks, we live in 2004 and digicams can be bought for a bargain and still there are almost no pictures of any car in this forum at all :roll: If someone claims to have this and that let him take a pic, post it and that´s it. Till then I wouldn´t waste so much energy on these fakers :wink:

Well, the M3 probably takes an Skyline R34 GT-R on the track, but u can't tune an M3 the way u tune an R34.

Fox- now that I know that you're not just a bitter old man out to prove everyone wrong, I see your posts in a whole new light ! :wink:

yes, i'm a bitter 21 year old, angry that i have a hangover wallking around hitting people with a kane. Close enough to an old man right?

That is a badass cuda, and that M3 is slick.

I'm only saying, after you've spent money tuning the skyline, which you can't get parts for, it still isn't what the 911 turbo is, and if you sunk that money in to the 911 turbo - well, that would be something else. :D:o:D

My data is as accurate as it will get only 4 me becuz the price differs from each person and model they have.

I'm not makin it up i promise but ya'll can believe w/e u feel like its ya'lls opinion 2 each their own.

And yes they vary greatly dependin on the person.

i've never heard of anyone getting one in under 100k. 63k is hell cheap. The better question is why pay that much for a skyline. The R34 is outperformed by an M3 anyhow. If you want something for tuning, a supra or 3000GT is available here for a much more reasonable price.

Skylines just don't impress me that much.

The 1st time i saw a skyline i was in love for a strange reason so i wanted 1 really badly.

I already have a dragged out 3000gt vr-4 so i don't need that. My gf's dad has a TT supra

but i doubt he's gonna let me touch nething in the engine since its his baby but at least i'm gettin 2 drive it.

I've been thinkin bout selling my eclipse and buyin a 1995 M3 lightweight if i can find one then buy the

ESS supercharger and buy the M3 E46 look-a-like body kit.

Then get the upgraded suspension and the angel eyes. You can supposedly get one dependin on the dealer for $16,000-$17,000.

Buy adding one up i can fix up a 95 E36 M3 for $32,000 and make it have approx. 370+hp with all the mod's done 2 it.

Then i can have the M3 i've been wantin and wat my gf has been wantin.

I think it's more of a novelty thing. There is a strong mistique surrounding the Skyline, and some people are willing to pay for it. Even though they could have something as fast or faster for less.

I guess that could be the reason y i want it so bad. There's none around my city at all.

Hell only skyline they've ever seen was the one on 2F2F and on the internet.

Biggest import wise around here r EVOIII's and there's a couple of RX-7's.

Thats bout it, so i wanted suffin nobody has around here. Prolly y i fell in love with it when i 1st searched it up.

no response, no email.

My gf had a terrible wreck and totalled out her mustang and she's hurt pretty badly so i've

been a weeeeeee bit occupied takin care of her from when the really bad storm hit here last week.

I've been tryin 2 do my best jus 2 check my email much less respond 2 ne of these.

Hell, I guess u'r right, but the Skyline impresses me much more than other cars, like I said it on other forums too.
