What is a good car that I can get for say around 20000. Need some advice please. What is the conversion for horsepower to (whatever you guys use). Sorry not to intellegent. Thanks ahead of time.

roflol. they invented it franks

hey Trent, for US$20,000 you'll get something decent although with shipping and any compliancing you have to do i really can't say how much of that 20k will go towards the car price.

what were you after exactly? a GTR, a GTST, old, newish etc

[WHAT_SKYLINE]

Yeah, but dosent really fall into my area of interest. I perfer good cars, and not cars with a 25' exhaust tip!! My state is classless, hince no Skylines!! (not really classless plenty of ZO6's etc..) What type of skyline should I look into? I guess looking to spend somewheres around 20K

How did I invite it?? :devfu: Oh Im lookin at just a nice all around car, not to many miles, or Kilometers whatever. Nice interior, nice body, good engine, FAST, again nice all around car! Is it worth transporting?

Im not sure of the way it works where you are. Are you looking at importing one from Japan??

If so get in contact with some local workshop's who are eligable to import and comply a car for you this will give you an idea of the cost's involved with the whole process then you can put together a budget, Then how much you can spend on the actual purchase price of the vehicle becomes more apparent.

Would a skyline from japan be better, or cheaper? I have a contact in Japan that can get me the hook up. I need to get some shipping prices, and all the port fees.

a Workshop called MOTOREX import skylines into the states and make them legal..

there website should be : MOTOREx.. but google it before you do anytihng .

You would probably be looking at getting a clean Series 2 GTS-t. ( R33 ) with that cost in the states

[WHAT_SKYLINE]

what is a "series 2 GTS-t" again I dont know anything about these cars, is there a difference between a series 1

Thank you

1996-1997 Skyline R33 Series 2 , they have a differnt bodykit,wheels,turbo and interior is similar but better. that would be your best option since they would have low "miles;)"

i have a friend who is currently importing a R33 GT-R to the states from osaka .. do you have MSN Messenger so i can tell you more into importing cars into the states etc ?
