What the hell are you talking about, I said I like them. And how do you not like their power, they can make 1000awdhp on stock internals.





This is exactly why I hate skylines. Just because you can do it on gran turismo DOES NOT mean it can happen in real life!



overrated

its nice to finaly hear this...



in tyler all the car kids are like, oh itsa skyline, its unbeatable.....its the fastest thing around.



m just like what, right down the road is ben blaylock and his 900rwhp supra, and kenny and his 830rwhp mustang, and my best friend has a low 11 second fd.



there are some beastly cars in town that i would never mess with, but they are all owned by real car entheusiest who dont go and street race and rice it up, so to hear about skylines being godly and untouchable kind of makes me laugh at how little the car kids of tyler actually know.

There's a GTS-T in WA for sale...only $25,000. Man, think of what you could build for that kind of scratch.

i laughed at the guy when he told me he payed 15 grand for his gts-t.



i was like man, 15k grand into my gsl-se and i could pull 11's in the quarter mile, maybe better. but he was like i plan on modding it, yeah thats going to go well, hope you enjoy paying a rediculous amount of money for parts and having all that downtime while you wait for the parts to be imported.



complete and total waste of 15k

I havent seen an R32 yet. But on my way back from Florida last year, I saw a Burgandy colored R33. If I had the money I'd get one.

Ur ******* gay, there have been numerous, I mean numerous amounts of records showing skylines making 1000hp on stock internals, if you try to comeback with something, as least be right.

And over rated or not, I still think they are sexy.

Lets see some dyno charts. Can it be done? Sure. But Talk to any high HP GT-R owner and ask them how reliable their car is.



I've ridden in my friends father's GT-R with what he claimed was 600awhp. To be completley honest it didnt feel fast, I think i could have taken him with my T04S FD.

"Most" of the skylines imported are stock. Easier to pass Cali smog tests. Stock GT-Rs make just under 300fwhp here. To make 600rwhp takes allot of money, the price for parts for the skyline are the highest around. I wish the guys who bought a skyline in the states just drove them and not raced them at all until they get some upgrades. It brings down the skyline name. I don't like them because I grew up around them and think they are overrated and over priced but I will say they can be made to be very fast cars but it will cost you.

Here is a pic of a 800hp skyline motor. Not sure if they said rear wheel or flywheel.
