Skyline GT OR Celica, Bitten by the Nissan Skyline GT Options

[west_minist]

Last week, my mechanic looks at me and said, "how much will a Skyline cost me to bring in?"

I said, over 1.1 million yen. But, we are only allows to bring in cars 99 and up now. Remember the 4yrs restriction for cars?

Mechanic: Not bad. Good! Good!

Mechanic: I am looking for a 2.0l RWD.

I finally pulled up some price on the it today and look! Just a tab more dollars than a 6g celica and on par with a 7g celica.

Now, this is bad. I am a Toyota lover. I have research toyota engines and mods extensively on the Supra, Celica, levin and BZ Touring wagon.

I have only look at the stats on the Skyline.

All of my magazines have the Beast on it in blue. (Super Street, Turbomagazine, Sports Compact Car, Modified Mag)

My problem is, my research have to start all over again.

I know that the engine are reliable and there are alot of mods available for them and the looks bad as ever. It can send chills down your spine.

With the same price existing and more for the Skyline GT over th Celica, should I purchase one for 2003 - 2004?

What do you guys think?

I believe my prob is that I really never like the celica except the engine and since I could not get a Supra, I had to settle for its little hidden sister?

My question goes out to the true celica lovers like Charlie and others.

Would you leave out your Celi and buy a Skyline? It is a real import car from JAPAN!

In the usa, yes, but from directly from japan, the prices are almost the same.

The last figure is the price in yen x 1000. 1US=119.85 YEN

I get updates on 6g celica price 800 -1200 Yen

7g Celis are 1100,000YEN and up
00 ZZT231 Blue Celica untranslated grade M6 AC PS PW 1800 5.0 11 1200 1394
00 ZZT231 Silver Celica SS-2 M6 AC PS PW 1800 4.5 18 880 1158

The Skyline, a better vehicle all round to some respect are 900,000YEN and up.

So outside the US, it is a better car to get.

Remember that the skyline that I am looking at is not the R3x. It looks so except engine and a few details.
