Streetlegalimports.com and Xatracing.com both have RB25DET skyline conversions for a little over $20,000.

Here's the link for Streetlegalimports and XAT.

I wouldn't py $20k for the blue one. It is just an s14 with an rb25 swap and custom tails and an aftermarket front bumper (which sags like my bumper, lol). The s13 claims 800+hp, not the 300-350 you will get from the s14. I don't like the tails lights on that s14, there are no reverse lights, and they didn't bother to repaint the engine bay when the car color was changed. Heck, its not even an SE! It has 4 lug wheels, not the 5 lugs, and no other standard SE features which a $20,000 used car should have. Looks like a cheap job to me. That sagging front bumper doesn't help either.

I know right. I can see wanting a Skyline. But to make a point of buying a RHD Skyline. A) Its a given the Skyline is RHD. B) Why would you want one. THat would be annoying. I wouldnt mind it if I had an R34 GtR tho. They need to work on the rear end of the S14. Just looks tacky. Get a "drift" wing and thatll be much more bad ***. I like the S13 for now

i saw an r34 GTR driving down the highway once....

I thought it was pretty cool seeing a skyline, I knew that they had to be imported...

but I never realized how rare they are until awhile later

I'm liking the S13 better out of the two. I wish they would produce a skyline, like R34, for the US. I know everyone says the G35 is a skyline, but thats just not the same. I want an R34 sitting in my driveway.
