  1. Put the Rotary in your car , the Swap will be simple, it will be very easy, make a motor plate, or get a crossmember from the junkyard, make a trani crossmember or use plates to bolt the crossmember up there, you can take a Rx7 motor and trani, bolt on a header, cut the vacume spring in the carb in half and get ready for awesome burnouts,shifting at 8,000 RPM and alot of fun days without worrying about pistons and cams, if you miss shift .
  2. That is a beautiful 510 datsun, somebody out there is a very lucky guy , or girl ,just have to add WOW !
  3. The kid came to look at the Skyline with his father each time,and i took him for a test ride showing him the power band + when the turbo kicks in ,Also telling him sometimes its better to know that you have a BEAST and you do not have to prove it everyday, just knowing what you have and not racing every car that revs the motor next to you. So hopefully your predictions will not be reality,and he got a great deal, I raced and beat a 800 hp Porsche turbo 3 out of 4 times the night before the sale ( which I told him I did ) Its better to be honest with people, for example , This car is sold '' As Is' condition and has been raced and beat on ALOT ,If you want to buy it, I will sell it to you.,
  4. What ever I get next, I hope that i never have to pull up next to my old car at the light, but if I do , I will try my best to take him down.
  5. the Skyline was sold today to a local kid who saw it on craigs list, A sad day indeed.
  6. You never know, I don`t have 13K , and i didn`t when I bought this car, but I just thought I would throw it out there , that I was not as firm on the price as I was in January .Hopefully i can keep the car , but I have to advertise anyway to help make ends meet.
  7. This will be a final price drop, reduced to $ 13,000 and thats the bottom line ,The preformance cannot be matched fot this $$ .
  8. I have a story i can share, it was the 80`s , I was in Queens with my Mazda RX2 , me and my buddys were at Shea stadium , not really in there but at the junkyard road thats behind it, that was one of the hottist drag spots in NY at the time ,( we had behind Fountain ave. also but Shea was even wilder ) , so there are these guys on a loud speaker talking about a race or looking for some competition for a money race, next thing you know we are all driving to the expressway, kind of like a overpass near a bridge , but it was a long straight . These guys were the original Fast + furious , once all the cars were on the parkway the last bunch of cars stopped and blocked off the ramp and others blocked off the expressway. So I am knew to this racing on a major road and I am thinking I really want to get a good view of things, so i get out of my car and stand by the guard rail at about 2 nd gear( where i think they will pull 2 nd anyway ) O.K. heres the cars , a Datsun 1200 with a bridgeport 13B Mazda rotary with juice and a Datsun 510 ,race 4 cyl.+ juice line up , I am sure open headers on both , so they both do a John Force style burnout + heat them up , Now i think if one of them loses it I will get plastered against the guardrail, so I step over the guardrail to the ledge, next to a 30 foot drop below to the other expressway, This is not good I think, but I stay because I am a complete race motorhead, now keep in mind traffic is being held up on a saturday night in Queens , we are talking major traffic jam,Well this was the most intense race I ever saw , the stater had a flashlight , he drops his arms with the lights + these 2 Datsuns EXPLODED off the line both riding wheelies and when they passed me I almost fell off the edge from the sound waves,They were the loudist cars I ever heard, it was like 2 earthQuakes passing by me , Then in a second they were all the way down the road but the race fuel + Juice was still in the air,next thing I heard was police sirens and everybody was running for thier cars , me too because my license was suspended , and I wanted to sleep in my bed that night. When it was all done the 1200 was the winner of about $1500 + was a car to be feared for a couple of years .
  9. I am sure you could buy a GTs Skyline from Canada for cheaper with alot of miles, but it will not sound and preform like this car ,+ i doubt it will have 18 inch SSR`s with 10 .5 rear tires stuffed under there , ,and with the 25 year old import rules,( I am not sure that applys to Skylines because as i have stated Dozens of people have called me because they ran into road blocks trying to legalize them + want my advice ) So its 2009 then - 25 years that gives you 1984. So you can import any car thats 1984 or older ? I do not know .If someone buys this car it will not be because they are misinformed, it will be because its a Awesome Kickass RHD Skyline with 34 Kilommeters ,a bunch of aftermarket GO-Fast goodies and is ready to just go to DMV + get registered in the new owners name .
  10. I am in no way saying that 72240Z cannot get it done, some states will title a JDM car , depending on the inspector. I have heard its possible .
  11. As I understand from DMV in Albany , they called me when I went for Emissions test , Being Pennsylvania titled it at first as a 2003 Special construction Vehicle, for NY thats not good, no OB2 hookup ,anyway they called and said hey Eric , what kind of car do you have? and I said I have a 2003 SP Con. Vehicle. They said what kind ? + I said 2 door coupe, then they said , look we know you have a 92 Skyline GT + they are illegal in the USA and there is a Ban on them , so I said , look,I am not some young kid playing games, I do everything by the book, my car has a clean Penn. title,+ if you are going to revoke it I want my tax money back. What happens is some states over step thier authority + title these cars as a Kit car , SP Con.Veh. or Custom,I guess they do not know all the laws pertaining to these cars. The reason why its like this is everything, the Glass ( not SAE certified ) , the light lenses ( not SAE certified ) the whole dam car not SAE you get the rest,Well I wanted my car to be as Legal as can be and that included the Emissions test + sticker because here in NY the DMV computer knows if you got your car inspected or not + if you don`t you get your registration suspended. So I had brought this Skyline in for the complete check out, Vin # verification ,all part # `s checked ( IMO this is impossible they do not have JDM #`s in a book ) + what ever else they check, Then they stated the Penn. Vin # is good , the car is good , they re- titled it as a 92 Custom .Why ? Because with no MSO from USA they cannot title it as a Nissan. So I beleave its RARE to have one legal , A dozen people or more have called me asking How they can make their cars legal because they cannot do it , I tell them to go buy one thats US titled allready. There is a nice GTS on Ebay right now a silver one $ 34,000 bucks + last week there was one for $ 55K and a yellow GTR for $ 180,000 ( some people are out of hand ) ? IMO my car is a $25 K car, thats what I see the legal ones going for , I searched for about 2 years before I could find one that was Legit .
  12. Well thanks 72 240Z , You know i had a few people interested in my car a few months ago when I was advertising it for $ 25 K ( not Kidding ) never did someone argue the price, but its still here ( I would have dropped the price if asked ) and that little 2.0 litre rb20 , don`t let that short stroke fool you , its Rev happy, and only 9 pounds of boost I Mop the floor with the new Hemi Challenger , super charged Saleens + more of your so called fast muscle cars, A few people would call + say the same , Oh I wanted a Rb25 or 26 , I just tell them go ahead and buy a Skyline with a rb25, I will not be offended, I mean how much more power do I need, I can put it on the limiter in every gear in the blink of a eye,+ 4th and 5 th pulls harder than any car Ive had, So i am satisfied, Still I think $ 15K for this car is cheap.
  13. djlotus , Thanks ,that RX2 is a beauty, + the starlet too is something I could go for. Thanks , if I sell , I wouldf have to choose .
  14. Yeah but you cannot buy a car from Canada and then legalize it here ,Unless you know something I do not ,I have seen GTS`s on Ebay with a asking price of double , triple and even more than I am asking, but its all good , if you like it and the price isn`t outa line , it`s available , ( You know how much this car cost me ? you don`t want to know , when you want something its costs big ) The GTR did not give me the feeling I wanted, I like the back end fish tailing and sliding around it makes your brain work overtime.
  15. I would say its gently driven in winter, and raced on the street from time to time in the summer ( you know when Vettes and GTo `s and Mustangs pull up + Rev thier motors.) ) I usally slaughter Hondas and acuras + other imports so far ) Only a few times have i ran it all out 8500 in 5 th , but you want a car that runs perfect, not something that needs additional tuning to get it right . I have never just holeshoted and burned the tires drift style through all the gears, I like it and really just spool it up and shift it before the rev limiter hits , But you could beat the crap out of her after you buy it , I do not think the little Skyline could care less. But hey , make sure you have some money left over in case of emergency or ask your employer hows the business going + hows your future .
