What does a Nissan Skyline bring in the US? Not the Infiniti ripoff but the genuine, imported, twin turbo Skyline?
What makes you think a used car isn't required to meet emission standards?Why do they need to be modded to US emissions specs to sell? If it's a used car it shouldn't matter at all if it meets the standards! Plus, it would be more of a attention getter than an actual selling point, to sell used maximas etc to the budget minded yet performance oriented teenage crowd. They have a buttload of used cars under 10g's that they can't get rid of.And of course, I like them... Wouldn't mind having one in my driveway at all.
if i'm not mistaken they still put out 350 ish whp when detuned for us emissions, 93 octane ect. not a lot of power for a 90k car but its still a twin turbo monster with a near bulletproof engine from the factory so u can still make just about as much horsepower with it you want. NO japanese performance car is as potent in US trim as it is in Japan or other countries. it is one of my life goals in life to own a r34 skyline gtr one day.
Because it has to clear customs...Why do they need to be modded to US emissions specs to sell?
Actually the Infinity is the real R35 (2005) skyline in japan. Only its tuned down. Infinity=Nissan, but I'd rather get the 350z. Same motor as G35 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.What does a Nissan Skyline bring in the US?
