TNC=The Nissan Club!!! It's new so come check it out!

[Joey D]

Something like that.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

It will take $300,000 to make a fully blown R34 Skyline GT-R by Nismo.

I wish I could get two R34's (one stock, one Nismo-blown).

 

[CDailey]

bump,here comes the bump,ready or not,here comes the bump!

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

What do u mean?

 

[bigwhlkid]

i will join also, man would i give anything for a nismo/signal drift s15 or a first year rwd skyline (forgot name)

:nissan: the nismo club (it just sounds better)

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

Is it the S15 Silvia?

The Skyline ever since are either RWD or 4WD, but early Skylines are RWD. So which Skyline are you talking about?

 

[The Porko]

Yep there is only 2 S15 the Silvia (japan version) and the 200sx(Australian version).

 

[RazorGTR]

I hope it is cool if I join in the club

Living in New Zealand we are lucky enough to have the largest number of Skylines from the R30 to R34 outside of Japan gracing our streets. Back in December of last year I finally found the R32 GTR I had been looking for. A rare Silver R32 Facelift model. One of 104 made that year.

Pretty standard right now with only the exhaust system done, pod filters and boost restrictor removed. It is boosting to about 13 psi now and is producing 277 hp at all four wheels.

Hope I am worthy to be a part of the Nissan club family

 

[MistaX]

You have a Skyline?

I HATE YOU!

Actually they come in a few different flavours such as:

R32

1.8 litre 2wd non-turbo sohc ( GXI )
2 litre 2wd non-turbo sohc ( GTE )
2 litre 2wd non-turbo doch ( GTS )
2 litre 2wd turbo doch ( GTS-t )
2 litre 4wd turbo doch ( GTS4 )
2.5 litre 2wd non-turbo doch ( GTS25 )
2.6 litre 4wd twin turbo doch ( GTR )



R33

2 litre 2wd non-turbo soch ( GTS )
2.5 litre 2wd non-turbo doch ( GTS25 )
2.5 litre 2wd turbo doch ( GTS25-t )
2.5 litre 4wd non-turbo ( GTS4 )
2.6 litre 4wd twin-turbo ( GTR )


R34

2 litre 2wd non-turbo doch ( GT )
2.5 litre 2wd non-turbo doch ( GT25 )
2.5 litre 2wd turbo doch ( GT-T )
2.6 litre 4wd twin-turbo dohc ( GTR )

GTS-R,
That picture is of an R33 GTR without any type of spoiler kit. It is also a spec II non-vspec. Quite rare.

Lebsta that Veilside kitted GTR is a popular kit in Japan. Very expensive here in NZ. A good mate of mine purchased the orginal complete kit including guards (fenders) and he paid nearly $9,000 USD delivered.

Don't hate me Mista x. If I lived in the states I would probably own a C5 Vette right now instead or still have my 72 Stingray with a few more mods. Since Skylines are so cheap here it is a great alternative, not to mention you can get a heap of power out of such a small engine. Most of the GTR's here in New Zealand are pushing over the 400hp mark at the crank. I haven't even began to modify the car yet as I am still sorting out a few little niggling problems with the car. Since it is 10 years old you get that. As a daily driver I will probably massage it to about a cool 500hp and leave it at that. That is slightly more than what my Vette was making at 475bhp.

You guys want to see a heap of pictures of Skylines. Check out Skylinesdownunder The car club I help start nearly 4 years ago and currently over 300 members strong.

 

[bigwhlkid]

well i dont realy know much about the trim levels so whats one of the best i can get in a 4dr r32

 

[RazorGTR]

You can pick up an R32 4dr GTS 4.

It has basiclly the same running gear as the GTR except a 2 litre single turbo. There are some pretty quick ones running around.

here is a pic of a mates.

 

[RazorGTR]

There is only one so far here in New Zealand who has pushed the GTS4 hard in tuning. He managed an 11.88 @ 118 mph.

My old GTS-t which is 2wd instead had nearly the same power but no traction. both cars were pushing the 350-400 hp mark.

 

[MistaX]

I hate you because I want a Skyline.


I want a Skyline in a horrible way.

I'ed litterally steal one if I saw it

 

[RazorGTR]

Well considering i have toyed with the idea of moving back to the states in a few years, the GTR would be coming with me. I have already sorted out getting it complied at MotoRex. I have spoken to Sean a few times,and emails.

Not sure where I'd live though but wouldn't mind catching up with guys from the forums here. I have met so many people from the internet it is not funny though fun.

I may have to stay way from the East coast though as I would not like my car to go walk about lol

 

[bigwhlkid]

why not move back to chicago

thanks for posting the pics of the r32

 

[CDailey]

chicago??!!!chicago??!!LOL....why would he move back to chicago??!!i dont really think he wants to get his Skyline GTR stolen his first week back in the states?!LOL just my :2cents: :banana:

 

[RazorGTR]

I have thought about the midwest again, or possibly the southwest. Being a toolmaker/engineer by trade that would seem the logical solution though sometimes my thought process is far from logical.

On a serious note I doubt anyone would get very far with the R. There is well over $2,500 is sercurity invested into it. Auto theft is rampid here in New Zealand and even those with crappers at least get a basic alarm and or some sort of emobilizer installed.

Who knows what the future holds but for the time being I am enjoying coming onto these forums and conversing with quite a few great people.

And if anyone has questions about Skylines I will see if I can answer them. What I don't know I can find out from our various club sponsors and a few club members who know more about Skylines then most will ever. They live and breathe them.

 

[RazorGTR]

Looking at the other various manufacturers I would have though the Nissan one would be hot as. I know there are a heap of G20's as their called there in the States. We call them primera's here. Not to mention th e 200SX or Silvia's.

Hummm

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

Even now we don't even receive the GT-R or the S15 Silvia here in the US, instead we get the softcore Skyline called the Infiniti G35 coupe, and still no S15. Just the 350Z

 

[RazorGTR]

It is a damn shame Nissan stopped making the Skyline as we know it. Personally I don't like the 350Z as it is too euro looking.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

They didn't stop making the Skyline but the GT-R is only having a brief hiatus for a while, the Skyline is still alive and kicking in Japan as the "softcore" Skyline sedan.

 

[The Porko]

Can u believe that they have also stop making to Silvia due to emissions laws in Japan and Australia only has stock that last until mid 2003, its sad to see such a good car being taking out of the market.

 

[RazorGTR]

I am suprised that Mazda is still able to produce the RX series. I mean Rotary's have to be huge emission pigs. Lets face it the apex seals don't last as long as a set of rings in a piston engine there for you would get oil blowby.

Sux if you ask me!

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

Tell that to Mazkid.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

Oh BTW before I forget,
Does anybody know the JDM name of Infiniti J30 and the M30 convertible?

What I know the M30 coupe is Nissan Leopard, Q45=Cima, G20=Primera, QX4=Terrano Reglus, G35=Skyline, and the latest M45=Cedric/Gloria.

According to my calculations the J30 has the same underpinnings as the 1st generation Nissan Altima (Bluebird Altima in some areas) because of the body shape.
