how much do you think it'd cost me to import?

I've been saving up a little change, I think I can afford this.

Dang. Let me know if you can get it registered here. I might be interested in something like that myself.

That is a HOT R32!

I could almost afford that if I sold my Max...

P.S.They misspelled Skyline: SKILINE and SKLILNE

Print it out, "build" it, and then put it on ebay as a legalized GT-R for $30,000.

If you begin your list of things wrong with that by the misspelling, you sir think about a mile outside the "box".

It's a lot of money to sink in to a project, but I'll give it a shot.

So I drove it to work this morning and I have to say I am less than impressed. It was not the most comfortable ride, no leg room, no head room, no arm room, no seats, just horrible. Acceleration was lacking, it was almost as if it had to get hit from behind by a strong wind to move. Steering was nonexistent, it was as if the wheels were welded straight to the frame. And speaking of the wheels, the ride was rough, like riding on wagon wheels. Once under speed the windshield caved in, but luckily did not shatter.

To be honest, I don't see what all the fuss is about. I was thoroughly disappointed in the performance of the GT-R.

lol. If he sends that $2000 it'll buy someone a lot of Kim Chee, but I bet he'll never get any Skyline.

Ok I built it, not a bad ride Well it came with an HKS filter and timer already installed so I put a boost gauge on it. Response was kind of laggy so I opened up the exhuast by putting on an aftermarket muffler. I was happy with the increase in boost response but she was starting to run a bit lean so I put an SAFC on it to tune out the fuel. Now that I could add fuel I decided to push the boost up a bit so I put a boost controller on it. now that the boost was up the factory BOV was starting to pop open so I put a Blitz BOV on it. I had a Q45 throttle laying around so I put that on there next. Intake temps were getting bad and I noticed little improvement with the bigger throttle so I suspected the factory intercooler. Sure enough after I put a bigger intercooler on it I picked up a lot of power and had to readjust everything. Now I was pretty excited and the factory turbo was just out of steam. Logic suggested some beefing up of the internals but I got impatient and put the T04 on it as is. Big mistake, the car didn't survive. I think this demonstrates perfectly why you must carefully size the turbo to your car. I went too big and paid the price.
