I just had a long chat with Sean Morris over the weekend. U.S. legalisation for late model GTRs (96-02) are pretty much dead. Trying not to bad mouth Motorex here. Long story short, simply put, all it require is a decent chunk of cash to make it happen again. You know, as far as cars goes, you can make anything happen with money. But since the demand for gray market GTRs is very low in the U.S., no one want to put anymore money into it. Combining with Motorex not being very together. I don't see it happening. I believe Motorex can still legalize 89-95 GTRs, but they take a very long time (1 whole year should be expected). I hope none of you guys want to move to the U.S. with your GTR.

if I have a choice between that skyline in 2 fast 2 furious and my Impreza, and I can't change a thing on the Skyline after I get it. I would rather have my Impreza.

Couldn't agree with you more.

It's a wonder that Bean is taking the comparison calmly. I wouldn't

It's OK - each to their own.
After all, it's just an Internet forum; life's too short to get angry about this stuff.

great attitude

Sneezy · 14th July 2004, 10:25 AM

well, it's a good thing that everybody has got a different opinion!

i really think the 2f2f is really cool, great specs, love the trim, rims, interior!
Bean's car is really ace aswell, more subtile, less shouting.

Sneezy,

What everyone here is being too polite to point out is that when you actually LEARN about skylines, and what they can do, what they have done, and what they stand for, you will come to the same conclusion as the rest of us.

Whilst to the eye Craig Liebermans old car may please some and offend others, in terms of its "skylineness" its a pathetic attempt to grab headlines and use "bling" as a marketing tool (which Craig happily agrees is all it is now!!) rather than Beans car which is a REAL version of what Craigs is trying to ape, ie an outright street racer capable of backing up its looks with its performance.

The difference is that one car needs neons to catch peoples eye that little bit more, while the other car doesnt need them, and the driver wouldnt care less if people were looking or not !!

Be well.

J.
