How to bring A 1993 NISSAN SKYLINE TO USA...

If I see a few boy racer mods on that car, this tells me its probably been driven like a twat by a twat who drives like he has just passed his test and as they say where i come from "all the gea no ida".


Just incase you want to buy this car read this first...

2 types of drivers that can be broken down for further detail.

City driver:
normally use to slow speeds, or high speeds for short bursts (very bad for the engine). never normally involved in accidents except reversing in to parked cars, kerbing alloys and pulling out infront of oncoming cars.

Country driver:
Normally are better at handling cars at high speed due to many hours crashing in to hedges on country lanes and learning what is good and bad (trail and error).
Can be bad on large straight roads with high volume of traffic.

Boy racers fall in to both modes of drivers,

City: More body shops in the city is an open ticket to send your car in to get blinged hence, you see more modded cars in the city than in
the country (this does not mean the drivers are better).
You normally find that city boy racers will mod their car more to look better rather than perform better or will do the mods to get the most BHP with the least expense as they have blown all their money on their stereo system, this high powerd mod normally fvcks the engine.

Country: will spend more time under their cars modding them selfs and trying to get the best performance and handling out of them.
Many boy racers in the country are pretty handy with a spanner and will do many engine mods them selfs like adding throttle bodies, boring out the cylinders or porting the head/s etc. replacing the Gear box, wheel bearings, suspension bushes, strutts.
you rarely see country boyracers will spend money on a new stainless steel exhaust back box for that nice lil note you get of them, you will however see them spending money for a complete system as you can get a good 5% HP increase forma decent manifold and exhaust, you hardly ever find that boy racers from the country spending time and money on the body or interior.

You would be much better off looking round and finding one that has no mods at all. That goes for all cars not just R32's. If you want to look like a tool you can get a car with trim etc, body work is not hard if you got a artistic flare, all it is is plastic trim and some isopon. If i were you id use that money to get a decent car that is standard.

If you want to get an import why dont you go for a Subaru WRC? or if you want a little more reliablity go for an Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV or later if you got the money but the evo4 looks the best? they dont require mods and you normally find that if people have thrashed them they end up in the hedge on their roof. If you can get one with no filler or dents in the body and NO EXTRA MODS you know its been looked after.

Things to look for:
Gear box:
city drivers are a little harder on the transmission than country drivers, they change gear alot more becasue of traffic lights etc, check the mesh on the gear box, if its loose, could mean its on the way out (expensive) if its tight probably means its on the way out but been played with to make it feel ok, it may be just the selector is gone, but it may mean the gear box is near to going. selectors arent much of a problem, gear boxes can be.

Brakes: they ware more than normall in cities, you tend to see city drivers with manual cars coast in neutral when approaching red lights, this makes the breaks ware alot more than normal, Ceck the disks for signs of warping or exsessive ware, or discoulouration, this can indicate excessive breaking. If there are hareline cracks in the disk this can mean that the breaks have been applied too hard, this can mean that the master cylinder has been under strain, not good.
If hte breaks feel hard that can mean the brake servo is not working or the master cylinder is broken, if it has ABS that may mean the sensors ar gone.

you see city drivers more often than not that they dip the clucth and coast that way while feathering the brake, this means that the clutch is getting alot more ware than it ever should, depending on the engine and car the cluch can be a pain, if it blows when driving will cost you cos you will need a tow truck also you have to get it replaced which if you cannot do yourself is not cheap at all.

Check the clutch:
if it bites low down that is fine, if it bites high up will point to the fact it is worn and probably close to going. To check its tension, drive away in first gear, then change to a high gear like 4th or 5th at 15 mph. then put your foot to the floor. the car will be labouring but will pick up speed slowly, if it starts to rev and does not pick up speed that means the clutch is fvcked, leave there.

Check the barings: grab the wheels and pull them latterally, this will show if the bainrgs are gone. if there is play there that means they are. same in direction of travel, put the car in gear and apply the hand brake. rock the car forwards n backwards, if you see the play in the wheels in that direction probably means the anti roll bar is broken or the bushes are gone.

look at the wear on the tyres:
if its a city driver they may have been in a head on accident at some time.
if they tyres have uneaven ware on them LEAVE IT ALONE, get the guy who owns it to take it down the road with you watching, if it looks like the back end is out more than the front when he is going in a straight line, LEAVE ALONE!!!!!
You dont want to assume it is down to a worn bush or bent anti-roll bar.

what every you buy dont buy a car that is modded unless its a decent guy who has done it, but at that price id say it aint. with moded cars you normally find they ahve been sprayed, this makes it hard to tell if its been on a jog and been fixed because of the spray. if you see an unmodded car that has been sprayed you can do well to assume it has been in a smash.

If you buy cheap you buy often, but if you go to a boy racer trust me, you will be sorry... i know many of whom have passed on mint looking cars that are in reality on their last legs only to have phone calls the followign week from a very unimpressed new (shagged) car owner!

I was just on craigslist today (looking for new car) and I saw a silvia. It is a good shape. But, it needs the motor put it. it DOES have the motor, and it runs, the guy said he would even put it back in for 500 bucks, but he is only charging 1,500 for the car. It looks alot like that skyline. For 1500, and being in the states, it is a better shot than one for 9000 in canada

[goodcents]

Major, quit trying to import things from canada, we have lots of things down here just as good or better w/o the hassle
Ours may have more miles on them but they are still fun to "drive"

look at you whoring up this thread now...take it to the post whore thread you post whore

[FREAK]

i'm no whore u whore

[importeater91]

[Kratos]

Major, I would look into something like an 02-03 RSX-S. Can be had for around the same money and will be the boy racer car it sounds like you are wanting. Skyline was great in its day but cars have come along way since than.

[FREAK]

I'm just tryin to help Major get some ass lol

[importeater91]

yeah the RSX-S are pretty nice and quick. they were good but thats why they came out with new and approved cars. with 9k you can get a nice quick car thats not gonna break down on you as much as a 15 yr old car

[Kratos]

A friend of mine has an 83' corvette he thought was the fastest thing on the planet until I blew the doors off him in my stock saab 9-5.

[importeater91]

i had a saab once and it was quick..maybe because it was turboed...a saab beating a vet. thats one fast car or that dude doesnt know how to drive

[Kratos]

Well a fast saab would be llike a 9-3 viggen, a 9-5 is fairly heavy and only pushing 200hp with the turbo. My point is cars have gotten better, and although the covette got rave reviews in 83' it is no competition for today's covettes or even average cars on the road. The skyline was a rocket in it's day, but not so much anymore.

Agree, they did a set of tests on Top Gear a while ago, they did 3 in total, the Group B Audi Quattro vs a Evo VIII was a good race gues who won?

GTR's still hold their own against most of today's cars.. even when compare to cars 10+ years old. the new GTR just ran a 7:37 in wet conditions around "the 'Ring".. beat 997 turbo by almost 30 seconds fo ralmost half the money... what else can offer that much performance for so little (comapratively) money? and the new GTR is for sale in US as of later this year.

Yes i know that, i wasnt suggesting the Evo would beat it.
The test was to compare what was considered as a top rally car of the 80's against a standard road going Evo of today.
I woudl still go with an Evo over a GTR

why would you choose Evo over GTR? hypothetically speaking, of course.. assuming you're in USA.

I hope your kidding a skyline r34 GTR would destroy most cars out on the road today.

Ummmm this thread is not about a r34 GTR as far as I know. The R34 GT-R wasn't introduced until January 1999 and bettered its predecessor’s performance in almost every department.

[importeater91]

^^ exactly

[importeater91]

im guessing the evo

[Odpierdol_sie!]

This is a rip off vid done by Fifth gear of soemthing Top Gear did before, give you an idea tho

[importeater91]

yup the evo showed him whos boss

[largerthannormal]

grrrrrrr imports!

[Odpierdol_sie!]

If i was a boy racer, id buy a Jap, Evo or Scooby WRX STI. Probably Evo in the UK as i have heard the STI is a big drinker.

Forget the fact its an estate vehicle, its a Scooby WRX. you can get em in Cali, if i was you mate its a hot hatch like that id be going for.

[Renesis]

Well you said the skyline was a rocket in its day. That skyline is by no means a rocket as there were much faster cars than it in 92. So I figured you meant the latest skyline.
