what is unsafe about a skyline? they are made of the same s***ty metal that every other nissan is made of. besides its really nothing but a 300zx with a different engine.
Dude, you have no clue what you're talking about, so stop while you're behind.
There are several fed regulations (set forth under the FMVSS, which you haven't read) that apply to USDM cars that are not required on cars built for other countries.
And the R32 is nothing like a 300ZX. Please stop posting nonsense.
i do not personally believe the cars are unsafe in any way. why make a twin turbo v6 powered car and not make it capable of handling and safe... i put my full trust in those cars. it's just DOT's excuse. i wasn't saying i support their excuse in any way, just sayin that that's what they say if you ask em.
I agree 100%. I don't like the federal regs any more than you guys do, I think they're a load of CRAP.
However, what I like even LESS is people spouting misinformation. You'll never see me bash on someone for trying to find a way around it - But I *WILL* bring the noise on someone who doesn't READ or do their homework.

you have obliviously been misled. i would like you to explain how its not like a 300zx. the front suspension is almost exactly the same and the rears on both are setup almost exactly like a 240sx. I dont care about what the US requires that other countries dont. I think its retarded that people wil pay 40k for a "legal" skyline. when that 40 thousand dollars cant be spent on something much better than a pregnant 300zx
By that reasoning, ALL Nissans are "almost exactly the same" suspension-wise.
They share no common components.
the front suspension on an r32 gts is 100% swappable with 300zx minus the front subframe, same with the rear. from the knuckles in they are pretty much exactly the same. which is why i said they are the same things with different engines. obiviously they arent exactly the same but unless you get a GTR they are pretty much the same thing. i dont think i was spreading mis information i think maybe i should have put it differently
