So...i left it the hands of TSS to do all the modifications which are indicated by "IN SHOP!"

Nice skyline! How'd you get one? Or do you not live in the U.S.A.? Love the color!

[texan_idiot25]

In shop? Why can't you do it? Way more fun to get dirty doing it.

Looks like it will be a fun car.

[REDisFASTER]

You're the guy who owns that bay side R32? Are you on GTRC? What's your username?

PS. Whatever you do, don't put a GT-R badge on the back of that beast... I believe they have GT-S bages, just like the GT-R one, except the R is swapped for an S!

[torredo]

Yea, i would rather have a R34 but with a 15 Year rule we cannot get them in Canada (US even worse with a 25 year rule).

But this car is getting worked on by a shop ONLY because of the trade/Deal i had made trading the 06 civic in on this Skyline GTS-T but with 9200.00 in parts selected by myself to mod the Rine.

Yes, im on GTRC and im Speedfoos! ive seen you on there Redisfaster!

and i should have this car in my possession within the next few weeks time, as the engine (RB25DET) is being crated in from Japan (10 days at sea), Steve from tSS is checking to see if i can get red stitching on my race seats, and talking to JUN TANAKA regarding an open mouth grille for me.


ill update this as it comes along!


thanks all for the comments!

Not to sure about the 25 year thing, Ive seen them here before I think. Ask Civic guy if he has the pics from the Tuner show that was here last month.

[torredo]

if it is for RACE PURPOSE ONLY, then yea....we can get em too, but you CANNOT register an R34 in Canada nor the U.S.A until 2015CDN/2020US or so! ehehe

Man you screwed the dude over who sold you that car. I would much rather have a Skyline.

[REDisFASTER]

Not all Skylines in the states are there for race reasons. Many of them have been legally imported and modified to US-standards safety, by Motorex. Now Motorex is down and no more street-legal Skylines are being imported in the states.

[torredo]

just wait and see what this Skyline looks like AFTER its done!
MUHAAHAHA


SELF-EDIT:

Did you read the thread in GTRC about the two R34s legally in Canada? One is in Quebec while the other one is somewhere in the west

[torredo]

Apparently only in the USA....

you can have a JDM registered if you are willing to fork out the bucks to have it safety inspected, meets emmission standards, etc...

[REDisFASTER]

Yeah, I read about $160-180k for the guy with the R34 in the west... Crazy... That's the price of 1 Viper SRT-10 and 1 Corvette Z06....
