Yeah, skylines are nice, its all about the RHD. Porches are nice too tho. I "ran" a GT3 this morning in turnbull canyon. Its " " cuz I was running it solo, then caught up to him, and there was nobody in front of him so he floored it, had many aftermarket parts on i later found out, and I tried to keep up but he ended up pulling about 7 car lengths ahead at the end of the run. Then he pulled over and let his car rest which were I talked to him for a minute, and then he went through again the other way. I didnt go though, I had to fix all the shietz in my trunkn that went floppin around trying to keep up with him.

I'v seen 1 R-34 it was on Bake turning right on Portola Pkwy in Foothill ranch it was silver. All the others I've seen were R-33, there is one in Laguna Beach I have seen twice and a few I've seen on the highway and stuff, most of them have been white and one black with gold rims.

I want a Skyline.

One of my friends has an R32. Another is waiting for his to go through all the processing. A friend of mine works at Motorex, if you call she'll probably answer and handle your orders, lol.. anyway.

motorex rips people off BIG TIME..... they hike up the prices because they have connections to japan to import them and make them smog legal... if you can find someone that have the same importing ability (and believe me, there are quite a few in so cal) you can have one sitting in your driveway for 15K+ cheaper than what motorex can get you a skyline for....

Irvine sightings:
Saw THE (seen in ads) white Apex-I R34 in Woodbridge area about a year ago.
Saw an Apex-I Black R33 in the Ralphs parking lot on Alton and Jeffrey.

Seen on the 60 freeway: The RB motoring R34 last winter.

Seen on the 55 freeway: A white R32.

I also agree with you that Motorez is a rip off. 80+ grand for an R33 with 50k miles (kilometers?) is highway robbery. Just wait for and buy the new upcoming GTR in 2007.

yea its that guy...i should check that ralphs out

my homeboy's older bro actually help start motorex...some of the cars that motorex actually sells are boosted ones from japan...the shop crew go through and clean every single VIN and any other id # on the cars before they start to register it for sale in the US...i didnt beleive it at first until i saw reports from a discription of a stolen r34 and one that looked exactly like it on the motorex lot with the same rims, tires, exhaust system, lip kit, and aftermarket rear wing...in the gardena lot

I htink the guy is fibbing about how long it took to get, unless he special ordered something very hard to find, Skylinewise, it should have taken 3-4 months, not 1 year.

true dat...6 months is at most because the legalization work and quarantine of the vehical is about 2-3 months along with paperwork is about 6 months in total registration...it usually goes faster than that tho

I've seen a black R32 Skyline in Rancho Cucamonga a couple of times. Some teenager driving it...had to do a double take because I didn't believe what I just saw.

There is already a Skyline here the G35. And there will be the new R35 coming out under the Infiniti brand name in 2007 so there will be a G35 and an R35 then but for now I'm happy with my 350GT (aka G35 coupe). Pricing I hear will be in the $70-80K range for the R35, the concept pics i've seen look kinda weird though. Hopefully it won't look like what I've seen so far. It's funny to see alot of people don't know a G35 is a skyline just the entry level model. Everything about the japanse spec Skyline 350GT is exactly the same as the G35 coupe the engine, the drivetrain, eveything except:

1. RHD vs LHD
2. The Infiniti clock
3. The Infinti name

Hey, I think I know who you're talking about. Didn't he used to have a Lexus, too? His dad has that black SC, right? If it's the same guy, then skyline or not, I'd kill for his dad's car any day of the week. Pictures don't do that beauty any justice. I nearly wet myself when it rolled up to the clublexus.com meet.

who cares if the G35 is a "skyline"...yes it is technically a skyline, but it looks nothing like an R33 imo and is just another semi new model that doesnt look too good....well my opinion is purely based on looks

I remember seeing that skyline at Life Plaza parked below the arcade. It was the first 7th gen meet I attended. Back in summer of 2002 I think. Probably that guy komodomichie was talking about. I also agree with White Castle that there are a lot of nice cars on Westlake Blvd. I know this is off topic, but my friend attended weekly car meet in calabasis at some coffee shop off of valley circle and saw a twin turbo ferrari along with many other exotics and other sports cars. Its in the morning you guys should check it out.
.Now the car I want to see up close on the road is a zonda which looks like might be happening if they start shipping them to the US.
