I'd rather pass and just wait a year to get the new Skyline GTR.
These R34s are going be last weeks news very soon.

Where is the artical calling the Nismo R34 Skyline GT-R Z-Tune the fastest production car on the planet. If i remember correctly, it was a pretty sick car.

Driving a rhd car is plain dumb over here. It could be done but don't plan on making any left turns without a passenger.....lol

I showed this to a friend of mine that is in to Nissans and he said the president or whatever of Motorex just go arrested not to long ago for fake documents and other illegal stuff associated with importing cars, so this car might actually come down to not even being street legal here. Still a cool car none the less.

My brothers friend owns a shop and has 2 GT-r 34's and one 32. Ive taken a ride in his highly modded R-34 and it was the sickest car Ive ever sat in.

I would def. take a GT-R34 over a porsche anyday. Thats just MO.

after being in contac an driving several skylines of diferent trim levels for some years I have come to the conclusion that it is the most over rated car in the US, most are very moded thats why most people think its the best, and since most people cant get one it makes it more desireble, but a stock one its no better than most of japans sports car(supra,rx-7,etc).

and they are really ugly

its not vette killer out of the box. people get the GT-R for the same reason they get supra twin turbo, for the tuning potential.

yes you are completly right, but it is not a $70,000 car, you can do much better with that amount of money, in fact skylines imported from japan go for $30,000 to $35,000 here, about the same that a 1999 to 2002 rx-7 goes for.

yeah, people that buys those cars understand its the tunning potential they are after, not the performance out of the factory. cheap mods like, intake+exhaust+chip+tune and you are talking 400-500whp easily. with AWD traction its spanking cars left and right... then its still got the bullet proof internals like the supra twin turbo that can get up to sickening hp numbers wthout worrying about engine blowing up

I don't get why you keep saying this, I turn right all the time in my LHD car without a passenger, that is why they put mirrors on a car.
