    Dude, Skylines maybe the shit...but an FD3S and a Toyota Supra will kick the shit out of a Skyline... To me, i personally think everyone were after skylines when 2Fast2Furious came out. That too was what made it so popular here in the states. Everyone wants one cuz of the name "Skyline". 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...
