From Nissan? It would have to be the Stagea , but I’m a big turbo wagon fan…
overall I’d say the S8 FD, bathurst edition is one I covet the most, then the C32B NSX type-R…
What I WANT the most access to in Japan is RE Ameimiya… and the pits of the JGTC with a camera…

bathurst ed, nice choice ian, tobad they’re not legal for sooo damn long.
I’m a huge fan of the early evo’s 1-3, super light, decent power, great all around car.

I’ll have to make do with a 92’ spec R and a 20B… it’s a sacrifice but I think I can live with it…
🆒

WTF? you have a 20b? i want one… actually a a 26b would be nicer… lol… i honestly think that any ride we dont get here is better… by this i mean even if they do send over a car… its not the same… like the Silvia for instance… what did they get? Ca’s and SR’s what did we get… truck engines… i doubt ALL cars are like that though, but i really think anything over there is better compared to the USDM version of it or the non-exsistant version of it… i’m babbling

well up until … today I actually had 2 20B’s in the shop… sold one, other one is mine…however that leaves one… if the price is right 😃
A 26B IS very doable and I can do it for you. However do you have the $18++K it’s going to take to build it up and get it into a car…
The reasoning behind the larger motors is simple, we travel on avg. 10x the distance every year they do and it’s mostly HWY … a smaller turbo engine is not suited to a longer life at hwy speeds or the distances. It’s hard to offer 50-80K miles warrenty when you know that 50% of all turbos will be done by then… cost / return is not there.

puu puu puu …
S15 takes a back seat to the FD… suspension, chassis, weight, power potential… S8( FD) over an S15 without a doubt.

If I could import another car today, it would have to be the Bluebird turbo wagon…very cool IMO, there was a nice one on J-Spec Imports with some nice wide wheels. One of the coolest wagons I have seen!
