would you trade ur celi for this?? Options

[Valo666]

So i was checkin around some of the local car club forums and i found this on one.

1990 Nissian Skyline GTR32
83xxxKM
5speed
4wd
Rb26 powered

Nismo Front Bumper, 18 inch VeilSide Andrew F:18x9 R:18x10, Apexi Filters with Adapters, J-spec Exhaust, Race Clutch, Grounding Kit, Ultra Turbo Timer, Tein Springs, Nismo Front and Rear Strut Tower Braces







So i was lookin and i saw the price..not 2 bad..$15K CND. I was thinkin if i sold my celi, this would be a deffinate buy for me. So i was looking through the pictures again and noticed the Neon in the back ground. I figured "hmm..that kinda looks like Stefan's neon. So i kept looking at the pics and this video that went along with it. I read the article again and relized the guy whos sellin this is one of my buddies i went 2 highschool with. Me and this guy Mike were the only 2 guys drivin toyota's (me with my 87 supra and then the celi and him with his beat up AE86). So i gave him a call and started givin him sh*t for not tellin me he got his buisness up n running. So he told me 2 stop by, take a look at it n give it a test drive. So i took her around the block a few times and WOW is that thing fast. So i talked to him about a deal. He said that we could do 1 of 2 things. 1 i trade him my celi for it, or 2. i sell my celi and buy it from him for $13.5K and do some advertising for him.

Would you trade ur celi for this beast??

In a heart beat I would... I'd paint it black.

[Valo666]

now..just to get my dad conviced this car is soild and wont have any problems..lol...he wants me 2 get somethin thats gonna b reliable. But i figure, if i get this, im gonna be in an automotive program, ill have the tools and area to work on the car redily avilble, plus my buddy whos sellin it just did some of the basic serivce it will need (timing belt, thermostat, oil change, plugs, wires) So it should be good for awhile..plus..these motors are bullet proof.

EDIT: im thinkin i might see if i can set up a buisness propsition for him. Since im moving to the other side of the province essential, i could do advertising for him there and set up deals. I mean, im gonna be close to detroit, the motor city..why couldnt i help make it into the stupidly powerful JDM inline 6 motor city??..lol

[celi_gt_racer]

TRUE.... RB26 = very reliable... unless you try to throw 30psi into it on stock internals or something. Get it!!! and never look back!!! or look forward to a kick in the balls

[StreetRacing10PS...]

if you dont trade your celica for that....i'll personally drive up to canada and kick you in the nuts!

iam with you on that one.

[Coomer]

I think you'd have to be crazy not to trade. Skyline GT-Rs are amazing cars.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

I went to a canadian Nissan meet once and it was crazy how many Skylines were there! Id go for it! Its sexy! Definetely paint it black though down the line! Im jealous! You should bring it to the BC area and show it off ;-) they have a summer bbq for Nissans

[ILuvMyCelica95]

ok ok i'm ready for someone to yell at me... if this was based on LOOKS alone, i wouldnt.

yes I am crazy.

As nice as it is the look of it really doesnt do it for me. maybe its that front bumper...i dont like it.

i'm gunna go hide now.

[thatcelicaguy]

dude....i love my celica as much as anyone...but ide trade it in a heartbeat for a skyline...and as previously stated...if you dont trade it...ill be joining in on a carpool up to canada to kick you in the nuts....

[Akimbo]

Instantly.

[Chanh55]

Yeah if I had a chance to trade for that Skyline... I'll be like, "what celica?"

[devilsden97]

TRADE IT, TUNE IT, LOVE IT!

[bloodrain]

[jdg371]

they are running away from the shear power and ubernisity of the skyline.

If ur not gonna buy it, i will. tell your buddy to call my cell

13.5 canadian is like 10grande US....totally worth it for a skyline.

[zachattack15]

What does it take to get a skyline from Canada into the US and legalized?

[devilsden97]

who cares....even if it cost 10g to legalize it, ud still rape 350z's and other highend 35,000+ cars.

Think about it, porche gt3.......no contest...how would that make u feel? Totally worth the 20k

[Hanyo]

what celica?

*rubs off a smudge from the gtr*

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Valo, I've always thought you were a pretty smart guy, but after this post, it's questionable. You've got to be crazy not to get ahold of that thing. I supposed you could just be attached to the 6gc style, which is better. But man, I would love to have one of those GT-Rs. I'd trade my Celica for a regular 4 door Skyline. Good luck, I'm going to look for a S14 now, or at least a copy.

[creis]

you know, performance wise, yeah baby. but its deffinitly not good looking to me, the front bumper is a plus but lets face it its a ugly boxy sedan and because of that I would only trade my celica for it then sell that thing to buy my celica back with a little bit of the money I get for selling it. otherwise no.

However a newer model would be much better.

[DeathWing]

that skyline has awesome preformance...but its ugly as hell...looks like a short sedan (i like the newer version), so for me i would be with the celi, much friendlier...and cheaper to mantain (gas, etc), also i dont run anywhere so i would stay for appearence than preformance, but its up to you, if u want preformance its a good deal

[97lestyousay]

I am a hardcore toyota fan. I wouldn't trust anything else for reliability.
The Celis looks are destined to be classic. No for me.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

TRADE IT, TUNE IT, LOVE IT!

you- no more talking.

see other people agree with me!

[tovejas]

dude id get it but check on auto traders cuz they have 5 other sky's on there. all between 10,800 to 20gs. its a hot car but what do you think the insurance is gonna cost you?? im reconsidering mine too now....but i just got it body'd and painted!!!!!!...damn

[bloodrain]

if I ever take over the radioshack down the street from me where im makin $80k+ a year im going to get a skyline from evolution imports. $60k for a legalized R34 TT with 10k miles on it.

[pr_caralho]

eeehh i remeber that car wasnt it in a mazda dealership down in dufferin street?

[dlx742]

i would give my left nut for that car. its my dream car (well actually gtr34 is, but its close) one day there will one or two parked in my garage. tell the guy ill trade him my celi for it... ill drive it up in a few days

[creis]

if I ever take over the radioshack down the street from me where im makin $80k+ a year

[creamed_corn]

I personally wouldn't do it, only because it's modifed and that means it was probably ran hard and beat to hell. Bulletproof or not, I don't like "agressively used" cars. If I'm in the market for a car and I see so much as one cone filter or fart can I immediately walk away.

[blu94gt]

that's my favorite model of skyline, sooo hot. keep the color too, it's purdy

[beastman]

if you dont trade your celica for that....i'll personally drive up to canada and kick you in the nuts!

I will join in on this carpool effort!! That thing sounds sooo mean you have to buy it!

[BBoYRuGGeD]

valo have you traded your car for this thing yet? if the answer is no i will also be joining in the nut kicking action

bboy

[Rayme]

You can get GTS-T type-m or GTS-4 easily for under 10 000 $.

The only reason I don't get one is the parts and maintainance items, maybe if I had more money and a garage for a 2nd car I'd think about it but for now, those car cost alot more time and money than one could think of .

[dustinkemp]

that would be the fastest decision i would make in my life

do it man do it!

[95CelicaST]

What does it take to get a skyline from Canada into the US and legalized?

Quite a bit of money. I doubt that Skyline would even come close to passing smog, but I read in a magazine that some guy installed an exhaust dump after the Downpipe, and he passed, but then they caught him on it next time around. Do to it like you would a Japanese import, take the engine out and ship them over separately. Reassemble as a kit car and TADA.

...Whats a Celica?..

[Valo666]

13.5 canadian is like 10grande US....totally worth it for a skyline.

Hes sellin it to me for $13.5 CND cuz i helped him do alot of work on his AE when he had it and cuz hez one of my friends..if you wanted to buy it..$15.5 CND

dude id get it but check on auto traders cuz they have 5 other sky's on there. all between 10,800 to 20gs. its a hot car but what do you think the insurance is gonna cost you?? im reconsidering mine too now....but i just got it body'd and painted!!!!!!...damn

Ive talked to some of my other friends with imported cars (other R32s, 180SX's, 1J supra's, 300ZX TT's) and they said the insurance isnt that bad. They say that the only thing to do, is when they ask you the model, say its a GTST or a GTS-4 so they dont nail you with the RB26..mind you most insurance companies donno the motors any ways

eeehh i remeber that car wasnt it in a mazda dealership down in dufferin street?

Nope, he had this thing imported straight from Japan no more then a month ago. It landed downtown, it may have sat at a dealership for a day or w/e for my buddy to come pick it up (he goes through a contact he has that has a contact in japan) and straight to his driveway, well..his shop soon as his lease agreement passes.

I personally wouldn't do it, only because it's modifed and that means it was probably ran hard and beat to hell. Bulletproof or not, I don't like "agressively used" cars. If I'm in the market for a car and I see so much as one cone filter or fart can I immediately walk away.

wasnt agressively used. The dealer in Japan said only one owner b4 it was sold, he babied the thing, and it shows. Most skylines or imported cars have dents on them, scratches, chips missing out of the paint. This thing = Mint.

You can get GTS-T type-m or GTS-4 easily for under 10 000 $.

The only reason I don't get one is the parts and maintainance items, maybe if I had more money and a garage for a 2nd car I'd think about it but for now, those car cost alot more time and money than one could think of .

Yea you can get GTS-T type-M's or GTS-4's for under $10 000, but most of them have roughly 100xxxKM on them and its only an RB20. This thing is true GT-R and has 84xxxKM on it. Most GTR's with less than 100xxxKM on them sell for $20K +


and for an update. I talked to my friend, i told him im workin on convincing my parents (celi is under my dads name) to let me buy it. My dad is in a bad mood cuz he thinks his company is gonna lay him off soon, even thought he is gonna b fine if they do. But any ways, i talked to my mom and shez around 50/50 on this. She loves the look of this skyline, relizes i know what im talkin about, relizes its comin from some one i know n trust, and knows that i can get parts relatively easily for it (that was her main consern *its from japan, what if somethin breaks?? can you get the parts here??*). So right now its in negotiations. Im gonna go see him on sunday cuz my buddy wants to order a GTS-T Type-M from him and my gf wants me 2 ask how cheap can she get an S-Cargo from him..lol. Its so ugly, but shez got a thing with ugly cars.

[Jen]

convince, convince! dsklkdshjkhdsjsdf.

[juBz86]

good luck with that. hardest part is convincing your parents.

[celi_gt_racer]

someone just pm me when it's nutkickin time!! U better jump on this s**t valo... before it's gone already

[Consynx]

celica, what celica?

[Valo666]

well, i sat down today with my parents and gave em all the info on the car and all. They said..hell no..they dont want me drivin a RHD car under their name. Plus i just got a new motor for the celi and shez running great..so it looks like im keepin the celi. Im pretty pissed, but kinda happy 2. But i am going to be goin into partnership with my friend when i move. Help him by doing advertising down in Windsor and when im working for my 1 year co-op, im gonna take the money saved from that and buy me a JDM car from him and sell the celi then cuz im gonna have the $ to put the car under my own name rather than my parents.

Sigh.. parents are buttholes sometimes. But I guess it all worked out in the end. I just put my car under my name a few months ago.

[malpaso]

Do you wanna answer?

"NO"

[celi_gt_racer]

so whats the best way to do this carpool to canada - should we chip in on a cab? And instead of kicking you in the nuts - maybe we'll kick ur dad in the nuts - and punch ur mom in the ovaries... sound good?

[celi_gt_racer]

some tuners quest their entire lives for a car like the skyline... how could u say such a thing

[celi_gt_racer]

ohhh.. but i see now - your ina place where cars like the skyline are readily imported and available.
you would understand me better if you were from the states

[urbandork]

ok ok i'm ready for someone to yell at me... if this was based on LOOKS alone, i wouldnt.

yes I am crazy.

As nice as it is the look of it really doesnt do it for me. maybe its that front bumper...i dont like it.

i'm gunna go hide now.
