dohc v6 Posted September 19, 2004 Report Posted September 19, 2004 i have had my z for a long time and have a lot done to it. should i put the money in to a silvia or look for a tgp or keep hooking up the z. what should i do. Quote
stockgp Posted September 19, 2004 Report Posted September 19, 2004 are you going to pay to import a silvia? or are you talking about making a 240sx into a jspec silvia? i'd say look for a tgp Quote
Brian P Posted September 19, 2004 Report Posted September 19, 2004 I'd say turn in your license Quote
Baddflash Posted September 19, 2004 Report Posted September 19, 2004 Keep the z and buy something else to play with too. Get a turbo something or other.. depends on your tastes, but I like GM (most of the time :? ) so I'd get the TGP, again it all depends on what you want. Quote
Euro Posted September 19, 2004 Report Posted September 19, 2004 yeah stick with a tgp or something. but have fun trying to import a silvia and making it US legal Quote
90TGP Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 Motorex can get you a Silvia. I've also seen early 90's R32 GTR Skylines go for under $30k US. Quote
Smoke1991 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 skylines will be available in the us in 2008, for a perty price Quote
slick Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 If you have that much money to drop into a car, get something american. Quote
slick Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 Something from the 60's era.... Quote
93CutlassSupreme Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 fair enough!!! i will Agree with that Nothing 2000 + turns my crank these days...... yup. there's no American Car i really like. we've given up on cheap V-8 RWD cars. that's why i'm looking at Silverados now. Quote
dohc v6 Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Posted September 20, 2004 i would buy a 240 right hand drive and convert most likly. but i think that is a project for a little later in life. so it is z or a cheep cheep tgp. Quote
rudefyet Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 i would buy a 240 right hand drive and convert most likly. but i think that is a project for a little later in life. so it is z or a cheep cheep tgp. if you take the 240 route...i know a little place in Iowa that does RB26DETT/AWD and any other swap for a pretty penny what are you thinking though S13, S14, or S15? Also what engines? KA24, SR20, CA18, RB25, RB26....theres plenty of choices a 240SX would out handle any w-body hands down can't beat HICAS (All wheel steering for you n00bs) (Former S13 240SX Fastback owner here) back when i had the car i was gonna do a 180SX conversion w/ an S15 front end...heh Quote
90TGP Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 I'd love to have a full converion S14 with an RB26DETT. Quote
jeremy Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 get a 1G boosted Mx-6 GT with all wheel steering......cheap as hell, and very easy to make fast Quote
dohc v6 Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Posted September 20, 2004 i would like to have a 1990 240 and get the front end conversion with the glass lenses with a sr20 red top. but thats 10,000. i not neer that point yet. Quote
dohc v6 Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Posted September 20, 2004 ok so if i keep the z i have a couple things in mind. 1. rear sway bar 2. chip 3. ffp front c/o 4. drilled front rotors (monte carlo big brakes) 5. dic 6. braided brake hoses these are some things i have in mind or should i try to find a tgp and re do it.

phantomshado Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 why not an m3gtr? mmm, bmw Quote
Canada Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 Buy a second gen 240 SX and swap in a RB........or get an SR20DET..........or turbo the truck KA thats in it......you have a wide variety of options. Quote
conley3.1 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 Uh, no offense, but what's the point of having a RHD car in teh USA? I know it's nifty and all, and unique, but I think the novelty would wear off after you realized for the 1000x time that you can't safely pass on a two lane without a passenger to see what's up ahead... BTW I wasn't aware the Silvia/240 was available with Super HICAS. I don't think it was... Also, WTF is an M3 GTR? Quote
stockgp Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 it was. i have a buddy with a 94 that has it Quote
Baddflash Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Seeing as you guys were talking about the skyline, I saw one today. It looks like a new G35 sedan but also like the maxima, but different enough to not be either. It clearly said SKYLINE across the back and had nissan all over not infinity which I would expect considering the headlights/taillights were pure G35 design. The guys plate was THE LINE, making me believe that much more. Is this someone's misguided attempts at modding(even though it looks stock) or is this the real deal?And available in Canada? And since when is the skyline a 4door? Quote
90TGP Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 The Infinity G35 is the Nissan Skyline in Japan. People just convert the emblems and name to the JDM emblems. In Japan, there are a LOT more models to the Skyline line-up then just the coveted GTR. They have many turbo and non-turbo 2-and 4-door models, plus a stationwagon. Most of the models are in Gran Turismo 2. Quote
dohc v6 Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Posted September 21, 2004 to get back on track hear what should i do. Quote
