So yeah i just bought a Skyline R33. it was shipped into canada then driven over the border for me so i did not have to worry about getting it through customs. i picked up the car in Montana. then i had to drive it 20 hours back to Wisconsin. it was a fun drive i got to learn how to drive a right hand drive car pretty quick. i had the car for 30 minutes and got a ticket for doing 104mph.... the cop let me off light by not looking into what kinda car i was driving and he just wrote me a $70 ticket for speeding.

the car is back home now... i love it, its not a GTR but itdoes have a RB25det motor... and HICAS which was rare from nissan, a electronic 4 wheel steering. very fun and very fast

here are some pics

 

damn man nice.. also nice caddies haha

 

very nice!!!!

lucky!

show some dyno numbers when you can!

 

Beautiful car man, I am very very jealous...

did you have it set up that way so you wouldn't have to have it shipped to the States or did you buy it from someone in Canada that already had shipped over? BTW, if you don't mind me asking what is a ball park figure for what you payed?

You are very lucky to own one, congrats man

 

you are one lucky son of a bia bia! that is ******* sex man! props!

 

Nice purchase....now your sittin on even more potential!!

 

Sweet car

 

haha thanks man.... well i cant take credit for the escalade, thats the future wifeys lol

well i ordered some parts already, we are doing a RB26 head, and the twin turbokit off that... (GTR parts) but keeping it rear wheel drive. but i will keep yall posted every step

 

get better pics as soon as you can

 

well i would rather not share what i payed lol... i got a good deal, but they range from 20-25 grand.... for that model (non GTR) plus you still have to get it legalised, if you can even find a way to get it done it cost big bucks


thanks guys

oh and its only get 60 thousand miles... well 90,000 kilomoeters.... but about 60,000 miles

 

cant wait dude

nice pic up..

enjoy that car.

if Cobalt wasnt domestic. I would convert to ride side driving.....

lol

love the way it turns heads.

 

my buddy was sitting in the left seat and was acting like he was driving and then acted like he was jerking the wheel when we were next to someone on the highway, and the guy freaked out it was so funny

 

don't know anything about these cars so forgive my ignorance....

why not the r34? too much of a pop-culture following and would have been too expensive/hard to find?

and whats the potential of the r33 vs. other later models?

nice car though, it'll definitely get some looks for originality on the street.

 

I hate you so much....If the R34 wasn't f'ing impossible (and illegal) to get over here I would sooo have one right now.

 

well i didnt have 100 grand sitting around for a nice R34..... this was a fraction.... they are both very hard to legalise...... but engine wise some set up for the most part... R34, and R33 both can have the RB26.... so you can do the same things with them

 

that would answer that

what's going to be ur build-purpose, AutX or Drag? Performance goals?

 

beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeautiful

 

You can get an R34 for ABOUT 48k from the UK....but as you said the problem is getting them over seas...and not getting caught doing it ;(

 

Nice ride man, my friend has a 89 Fairlady Z Twin Turbo. He wanted a r33 himself but got a good deal on the Z and bought that instead.

 

i was just thinking about buying one..... im very jealous right now.....

 

sweet, is that street legal if you just drive it over the border like that?

 

get some more pics up please lol maybe inside and engine bay would be sweet

 

can i get an order of single turbo, with a side of rb26. oh and a coke, thanks.

 

yeah, its a good 5grand or double that to get it shipped over here..... then hope it gets through customs and all that... then thousands to get it legalized.....

 

great car.
