Hows does such a Skyline compare to a S30 in weight and handling?

Turbo Tax wants $25 for state forms Hard choice there . . .

Wow, someone else is from Shingletown as well, what odds! Pity it isn't a '75 though.

Wow, lots of __STUFF__!!! Wonder how many of the shells aren't rusted through.

Given that a reliable and reputable exporter / importer could be found, what is the going price for C10 a C110 in decent shape, ie no rust and mostly intact interior, in Japan?

So, why aren't there more 25+ year old Skylines coming stateside? Is their worth in Japan just to great? I'd go into a good bit of debt for a C10 or C110

A friend does something similiar, acting as though the person the telemarketer is trying to get ahold of died months ago - with the call causing great emotional pain. I don't even get normal calls, they have computerized messages with a 'stay on the line if you are interested' bits at the end.

That G-nose has a lot of work to be done. . . 99% complete, right.

So then, how much _has been_ put forward to getting an OBD-II computer built or adapted for the import legal Skylines?

So the Skyline has ODB-I but not II and how is that a deal breaker?

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/FAQ%20Site/pages/page10.html ". . . NHTSA has determined that the R33 Model Nissan GTS and GTR ("Skyline") passenger cars manufactured between January 1, 1996 and June 30, 1998 are eligible for importation and has assigned vehicle eligibility number VCP-32 to those vehicles."

Oddly, traffic can go to fast in my experiance. Insane I know, but I don't like to risk an 85 in 65 zone, and sure as heck don't like getting stuck between a long line of semi's. I've experianced this in southern Oregon and northern California I-5, as well as on I-505. And there are cops out there in goodly numbers, I'm not much of a fan of russian ticket roulette.

How much in US dollars did you pay for your Skyline in Japan?

I've never heard of using a Subaru rear diff, can the half shafts be used as well? What model of Subaru's can be used? Can they be used on S30's as well?

Beautiful! Worth every penny of the $20,000 for the buy it now!

Sounds like it is a L28 from the 280ZX, which is a straight 6 as the engines from both 300ZX generations are V6s. From my understanding the L28 from the 280ZX is a direct bolt in.

With a new head gasket, larger turbo and an intercooler, how much is that block good for? $150 sure isn't that bad of a price at all.

What all adds so much weight in a fully loaded vehicle? Deluxe sound? What else is there?

Just to weigh in, I believe that the whole 'successor' to the 240Z isn't so much on basic lines and design but price, performance, and market position. The 350Z gets you a 2 door, 300hp, sports coupe that is in a class of its own. Everything below it is FWD, there is a bit of competition from AWD rally rockets, but then the jump to a more refined sports car is a very large financial one, up to Caymen / C6 / and higher. It is the 240Z's successor because it is an affordable sports car.

Are you talking about a Z31 or a Z32? The SOHC engines in the Z31 fit much easier than the larger DOHC ones from the Z32. I have heard that the steering column / shaft has fitment issues. The site is down for some reason right now, but it is the best place for such info. http://forums.hybridz.org/

Any way to ask Advan / Yokohama if they ever sponsored such a car?

Wow . . . . Wonder if the insurance will cover it

Where by Sacramento are you? I live just east of Redding.

Any chance you have any pictures of your E-type ??

Wow, that is expensive. Aren't there aftermarket kits that provide the same function though?
