U can drop a RB26 in a 240SX and it'll do that same as any other Nissan Skyline R34 GTR, besides it being AWD.

    How is the hell is everyone coming up with these comparisons???!!! First a 240 IS NOT a Skyline, the 240sx is based on the Silvia...TWO completely differant platforms. Sure, you want to attempt to built one then get an S14, the R34 suspension and brakes will bolt up, throw in an RB26DETT...it still doesn't have the same look or handling characteristics as a Skyline of the same year. Skylines can't be compared to any other Nissan, that's all there is to it.

    2) What is a NSX going to run? Even a '91 is going to be $20k with 100k miles. Any idea what a '91 Skyline will cost? Maybe $5k shipped on a bad day? Dump $15,000 into an engine and suspension and tell me it won't be as reliable and out handle and perform a $20k NSX. Toyota Supra? lol, find me a decent running Turbo for a decent price then compare that to an R32 or R33's price...

    I will be the first to admit that certain movies have bloated the Skyline rep, and that a MKIV TT, Z TT, FD, ect are on par with a GTR.

    Contrary to popular belief, some people dont get Skylines to be the fastest cat on the block. Ive owned a ton of Nissans(S's and Z's), and was tired of everything being done. I got mine (as well as most R owners) in order to go in a different direction.

    Just to take step back a few pages,

    About the FTO, there is only one, LEGAL, titled, and etc in the United States.

    As for the Skyline, I like the way it looks but, that is too much for a car. I am with Mr.Kidd, I'd get a Porsche.

    i think i'll stick to my 510s and 240z's because they draw attention and are completely legal. You guys invest your money into older Nissans and bring back our heritage. Heil Nissan
