thinking about importing, which would you chose?

**asp integra** · 08-28-2005, 02:07 AM

im thinking about importing a japanese car and i was looking at a few options what is the best all around car in your opinion? also what are your thoughts on the cars overall speed handling and looks the cars i am contemplating are:
skyline gt r
mitsu gto
nissan fairlady z tt

**MiG_Master** · 08-28-2005, 02:27 AM

Skyline GTR.
It's lighter than the GTO by quite abit, the GTO is a tank at 3800lbs. A Skyline can weigh in around 3100lbs. The GTR also has the variable AWD, meaning that it can be either full RWD, or AWD, depending on the conditions. The GTO is full-time AWD.
The Fairlady is ok, but I don't like the looks as much as the other two. As well, it doesn't handle as well, and it's not as fast as the other two.

Honestly, IMO you should take a look at other cars that are available for importation. There is many neat cars that are not as popular that you can get really good deals on. Also there are some amazing cars that are compleatly orginal (eg. http://www.importconcern.ca/stock/100139/).

If u must choose from your list, go with GT-R IMO, but really the only thing that matters is that u get what u want.

Skyline GT-R all the way! I just don't understand why people would bother with 300ZXTT imported from Japan as well as GTO aka (3000GT) from Japan. I mean weren't these available here as well as States?

**jdmakkord** · 08-28-2005, 09:07 AM

Yay a Skyline. The new honda civic/fad car. Christ! There are going to be more skylines in town than accords like mine soon

**EK 2.0** · 08-28-2005, 09:26 AM

The Mitsu FTO is not a TT...

**spanky99** · 08-28-2005, 09:49 AM

You should go for the skyline
they are amazing machines especially the GTRs

save your self time and money locate the car and import it yourself. getting a 1990 skyline is so much easier than getting the 1989 ones.

good luck !!!!

Yaay...The nissan Laurel. We had this car in the family back in the day. It used to talk to tell u about the door being open or the keys in the ignition. It would be a unique import, or just get another skyline.

didn't that one have an rb26 swap?

out of that list, gtr, but you should look into other cars from japan as well.

**JAYMEZ** · 08-28-2005, 11:06 AM

I would go with the skyline or the fairlady... Just because they have a running chance of keeping up to the 7 and it would piss off all our neighbors

But if you set my alarm off , i will have to kill you

Its sure does

That car will be insane, my guess it should keep up to nguyens S14 w/o much problem.

And there are many other nice cars available from japan, winter is comming, you probley wont wanna drive the car in winter anyways, therefor there are new models available in 91, including, EG6, Aristo , FD, AE101, and more.

they only produced 2000 units of GTR R32 in 1989

i think they were released in september 1989 or somethign like that.

in 1990 they had a whole year to mass produce these GTRs, so he will find them very easy to locate and cheap to buy.

if you locate and ship them directly by yourself from japan it will save you good money
