What about a silvia? A nice S-14 would be real killer.

But i'd say def. either a skyline or Evo IV

ive never driven the silvia before...but i think im gonna have to check it out...
the silvia kinda looks like a smoother skyline...the only think i dont know about the skyline if its legal in the US...ive heard different stories that they are legal and that their not legal...
but thanks for the suggestion on the silvia...ill check into it...
ive driven the skyline and evo and their nice cars but the evo (no offence) seems like a cheap lancer inside...

any more suggestions?

i was also thinking in the acura nsx but never had the pleasure of driving it...

Skylines are atleast 25k to get legalized here in the US... I THINK. theres that motorex website or whatever that tells you.

But I would go for the supra, I've looked at those car dealership things in japan and you can get a super lower mileage (like 20-30k) TT supra for about 22k. For 22k here you'll get a NA supra or a TT with about 100k miles.

ive seen the NA supras...but never the supra TT...im gonna look at those too...
i knew legalizing the skyline was alot of money but 25K? DAMN...haha
my friend thats going to japan will also go to italy in the summer and he wants me to go to help him pick out the best looking lambo's they have...
im lucky cuz my friend is rich as **** so he likes to spend money cheaply and then sell the cars in america...to rich people for a profit...haha, kinda smart...but it takes money to make money and i dont have money...haha

either way...ill check out the toyo supra TT

any of you guys or girls know how much it takes to maintain a lambo or a ferarri?
ive heard that the service for the ferarri's are stupidly high...

thanks again for the comments!! you KICK ASS!

so I just checked. its about 18k for a 1990... then the pricing goes all the way up to 63k I think it was. Definetly not cheap.

And yes. service on lambo or ferrari is a lot. The oil change on an enzo is $600 If memory serves me correct.

why would your friend buy cars to sell over here he'd lose the money in shipping them over this sounds fishy but good luck
Re: Help me get a NEW car! (suggestions)

well if you have the money to buy one you must have money to mod it. don't forget that parts for those cars cost an arm and a leg and maybe a couple of fingers. moding a car like that cost alot more than to mod a cavy. if it were me I'd go skyline or supra.

WHAT, is everyone really this @!#$ stupid

In order to get any JDM car through customs it will take a minimum of 10k over the cost of the car and shipping.

WHY the @!#$ would you try to get a JDM STi, EVO, 3000GT VR4, Supra, or RX-7 when they are available here for a hell of a lot less hassle than going JDM.

NEWS FLASH.....yes Skyline GTS-T's are used as grocery getters by tiny Japanese women in JDM land and can be had pretty cheap....but just because your "friend" has them at his car dealer doesnt mean you can just slap it on a cargo ship and drive it out of the LA port.



2004 WR Blue/silver STi
Cobb Stage II

one guy I know was actually serious about buying an R-34 skyline straight from Japan and got all the quotes for everything, even talked to a Japanese car dealer and US customs and everything...well in the long run he decided to not buy a skyline and bought a House for a little more (it was going to cost him about 90k once it was cleared from Customs and Street legal in the US)


if it ain't broke...MAKE IT GO FASTER
