The ONLY legal R32/R33 are pre-95 MotorEx imported/federalized cars. That is it. If they don’t mention that in the title, do not buy.  
If you’re really interested in a Skyline, let me know. I have quite a few legal resources with them. Also, if you find one that seems like it could be sketchy, let me know the VIN they give you. I can call my contact w/ the NHTSA and verify. All fo the 100% legal Skylines have 11 digit VIN numbers, not 17.

I was just about to say…this thread went in the typical direction that “car buying opinion” threads go.  
Retarded.

The R32 in the OP looks really nice. I’d scoop it.

Maybe, who knows. I want an 06 LeMans blue one regardless :rofl

No interest in Supras here, unless it’s a MkIII or Celica Supra.

EVO interior should have lower expectations going into it in my opinion, and I prefer it to the C5s, it’s comparable to the C6s

Bad idea if you are after what’s in bold.

For $13k or maybe a bit more, you can get into an Evo VIII with equivalent mileage. The Evo will have a much stiffer chassis, similar weight distribution, similar power to weight, better handling, and is FAR easier to find parts for.

Who wants a DD that needs parts from 7000 miles away when something significant (or even small) breaks?!!?

Does the GT-R make you feel invincible and make your balls tingle with excitement when entering a decreasing radius turn?

Sure, but any well trained old ho’ from Schenectadeck can provide similar thrills in a Mitsubishi. I mean, f#$% an ATTESA, if she know what she’s doing, you don’t even need to be in a turn to erupt.

Bottom line: R32 GT-Rs are AWESOME for a 90s car. But without throwing a $hiteload of money at them and having a cousin named Daisuke with connects at the port of Yokohama- you ain’t $hit and YOU WILL lose a drag race to a turbo Celica.

They are great ONLY for having something different, but be prepared to PAY THE PRICE. That’s all there is to it.

Yo I only write the realness and based on my own experience. It’s a funny feeling when you lay into the throttle mid-turn and you feel like the car _grips even harder?!_

Ok, so I guess I’m going to buy a Skyline. Here’s the plan…

If it needs any OEM parts or anything of that sort, I will pay Archie more than his salary to fly over to Japan with me, be my translator, and get the parts. We will then sail back with PJB at the helm of a pirate ship.
