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!

Same here except supra first.

I do know. Basically I love the shape, looks and technology in it.

First, I have to find out what are the main differences between the GT & the GT-R besides the engine.

I do know that the SR20DET is a 2.0l 4cyl turbocharge which revs higher than the 3SGTE.

I can apply all of my celi mods to the Skyline without any problems.

But the main thing is that it is RWD. I have never driven a RWD car. Making alot of power but no traction.

I have sat in a celi. I love the way how that car wraps around you. I love the shape since it looks like a supra.

Well, what I can say, I will see how the year turns out.
