1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo For Sale
 
With the 25 year rule, this car should be legal to buy in the US next year.

http://www.dpccars.com/gallery/var/r...xuuUrUSBnN.jpg

from the article:
This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R (VIN BNR32-100167) is claimed to be one of 500 Nismo homologation versions, and this R32 generation of cars are arguably the best looking modern, RB-series powered GT-R’s. This one was imported under the Show or Display Exemption, but with the car approaching 25 years old may soon be eligible for full, legal street registration.

WANT!

malave7567 08-06-2014 02:03 PM

R32 Skyline... my absolute favorite Skyline.
I second Luis_GT's thought: "WANT!"

Jacky 08-06-2014 02:10 PM

I would gladly trade in my Evo X. 32's have always been my favorite.

n2oinferno 08-06-2014 02:12 PM

It's neat, but for the money I can think of other cars I'd rather own.

dem00n 08-06-2014 02:57 PM

Yeah, but when an R35 rolls up next to you, you're going to feel like shit for the whole day.

Not at all. If anything the roles would be reversed.

I disagree, the R35 is better car in everyway.

The only reason we idolize the R32 is because we can't have it.

When i was in Greece i was asked by fellow enthusiasts constantly about muscle sars, the Challenger, Camaro, etc. Cars they don't have there are very blown up. If a SS Camaro rolled by, they would go nuts because of its unicorn factor. But to me and you, an SS Camaro is a meh car, yeah it's gotta horses but that's about it. Even more so about the Corvette.

It is possible to get those cars there, but it's different in each European country.

I love my Super Nintendo. It still works and I still have fun occasionally on it. I don't give a shit about the Nintendo Wii. Sure it's "better in every way" but I don't care. Just because something is newer doesn't make it more desirable to me. You're comparing a new car to one that was developed over 25 years ago.

Now you're just talking about nostalgia, that's a killer.

Agreed. Whether or not I'd be willing to pay somebody's asking price today for a R32 in the US is an entirely different story.

Dipstik-sportech 08-06-2014 06:23 PM

Meh that's old news. We've had those for decades now, the r34's just became legal.......

Pretty sweet. Just wish the steering wheel was on the other side.

wbradley 08-06-2014 09:00 PM

I drive over to a right hand drive importer nearby many an evening to drool over what they have on the lot. Still happy I bought an FR-S as my summer car though. My WRX has turbo and all wheel drive plus a lot more tech than those older GTRs do. Plus I don't have to worry about my turbo blowing up.

Going through a drive thru is darn near impossible in a right drive BTW.

Here's what I drooled over this week:

1st gen WRX RA
WRX 555
Same era EVO
Mid 90's Legacy GT wagon and sedan B B spec, both with factory Bilsteins
R32's
R34's
S15 Sylvia
1st gen 70's GTR showroom condition
Honda Beat
Plus several other cool kei cars

I will post some pics soon but you can see many of them here:

www.rightdrive.ca

I'd probably buy and play with some JDM classics if I have the extra garage space and cash to burn.

KAR 08-06-2014 09:11 PM

did I miss the price??

So many times I was close to pulling the trigger on a rhd supra TT 6mt. I was splitting hairs on a mint black one grade 3.5 for $15k. But the fact that I would have to insure through facility and insurance companies are dropping rhd coverage by the day just turned me away. But mostly, rhd car in LHD country is all sorts of troubles- law enforcement and traffic.

I still do day dream about finding a clean lhd 94 Celica shell then buying a rhd 94 celica gt4 to use for a conversion. That'll cover my ass on the VIN tags, LHD, and insurance.

s2d4 08-06-2014 11:03 PM

The N1 is the special one, the nismo is just some minor aero for cooling.

Yeap, just like a Type 57SC Atlantic would feel like shit next to a Veyron.

It is kinda funny how places that can't have one really want one while places that can view them like we do 90's corvettes. I am going to the Philippines for a vacation and a track day, my friend there has a civic and an R34. I instantly picked the R34 since I can't have one here and the few you see the owners are not going to let you drive. The overwhelming response from people in the Philippines including my friend was to use the civic and forget the R34. It is a really cool car but I think a lot of it is just the grass is always greener on the side of the fence that says stay the f@*k off my lawn.

Oh yeah I know but, not being able to have one would you take one of those or a civic?

Like my friend in the philippines when he saw I owned a 83 camaro "with a huge v8" he thought I was crazy to be selling it for $2,500. And said with a car that cool how could you ever get rid of it. I say the same thing about a lot of cool cars he has that I can't have. He is trying to get me to ship a 90's corvette to him despite after shipping and taxes it's going to be well over $15k because he can't find one there. The most hammered I have ever been still would not get me to pay $15k for used 90's corvette with over 150k miles on it.

Nope basic late 90's sticky tires and an ebay turbo kit. Stripped out the interior welded in a roll cage and one seat no dash just a tachometer. You very typical lemons racer here in the states.

Then the R34 GTS-T with the RB25NEO?

Never understood the hype around these old skylines. If this was your favorite car growing up and it was your dream to have one, then it'd make sense. But it seems like more of a hipster thing for the majority of the people drooling over them.

For the amount of money you'd spend on this old ass car you can buy something more current, reliable, and just overall better.


On that note I've always loved the Evolution V and VI since I was a teenager. If I were given the chance to buy one, I probably wouldn't spend anything over 10k for it.

Not bad at all, the W2A intercoolers on those were pretty decent for a road car.

Yeah, then you would never find a decent one at that price range.

People who like old cars must be idiots, they should definitely get rid of them and buy new ones.
You should get rid of your car now, there are cars built after yours that are better.

Lol dude relax all I said was I don't get the hype about the older Skylines. Don't know why you twisted my words. I can't wrap my head around the people paying 20-30k for them.

Like I said if you grew up loving the older Skylines and it was always your dream car that's one thing, but there are definitely people who talk about how they want one because it's pretty much the cliche JDM car.

Also I have a friend who bought a Soarer for 10k and another friend who got a 93 RHD FD RX-7 for 11 and change. Both of those cars were purchased around 3 or 4 years go. So getting a Evo V or VI in decent condition for around 10k doesn't sound like a stretch.

Definitely. It's a pretty popular upgrade in the mr2 community. I think they've been shown to support up to 400hp.
