I love the gt4, but I've wanted a skyline since I first saw one when I was 5... yeah, thats my dream car

gt4. May not have the biggest engine, but I am in love with how they look. Chicks think they are pretty sexy too.

skyline r34 v-spec 2 in that blue color with the gold rims. such a nice car

why get a jdm supra? the usdm supra actually has more power stock and they are already here.

the gt4 would be great, but to many people it will just be one of the "older bug-eyed celicas". i would rather do an awd conversion and get a 5sfe to swap in when it comes time for smog check!!

why are you guys saying supra, lancer +other when you can buy them here
and they have more power STOCK then JDM versions....????

but anywayz my favorite JDMs are:

*SKYLINE (GTR, R34, R33)
*SILVIA (S15, S14)
*GT-FOUR (st205)
*FTO (all-engine Mitsubishi)

and my EURO-imports are

*E36 BMW M3 Coupe ( 30% more power then USDM)
*E46 BMW M3 Coupe (25% more power then USDM)

(there is other nice sub-compact import
4-doors but since I'm 6.7; I'm too big for them)

true, but to me, driving is more than a straight line. i have more fun hitting the twisties at 40-60mph that hitting the limitter at 115.

if i wanted a straight line car i would get a muscle car with a big american v8

For me it'd have to be the Altezza 280T

Stay with me on this one: Looks like a normal lexus IS200 with a nice kit, but under the hood is a factory 3S-GE vvti BEAMS and a factory standard guaranteed TOMS Turbo setup. Also has other improvements from TOMS (suspension, wheels etc). This would be a great sleeper car - looks stock, but could own most things on the road.

The 280 stands for 280 ps (at 7600rpm), and when combined with the approx 1300kg weight, lets just say if this car was mine I would be a very happy boy (sigh) >>

If I could get any JDM import I would have to get a Skyline... I wouldn't get a Supra simply cause that the one car that toyota was kind enough to share with us Americans... But anyway I would get a Skyline that car has power and beauty...

My friend has a SR20DET he is putting in his 91 240SX, after he's getting it bored out to 2.4L - see the latest SuperStreet - 2.2L SR20DET w/740HP - no joke they're the 3sgte of Nissan.

For prices on Skylines that are imported check out:
www.streetlegalskylines.com

I posted pics of that blue w/gold rims skyline, the kid who owns it claims to be pushing around 500hp

If your going to get a JDM car, u get something that you cannot get in the U.S. (I.E. a Skyline).

not the early model caldina's. And the levin's aren't corolla's, I don't think. I want the caldina with the 4th gen 3sgte and a caldina from the 90's. I like the whole 95 prelude front end thing they got going on
