I know what you are talking about and don't worry your secret is safe with me.. Can't wait to see it.

Once you are twin turbo dont do a G35 rear end conversion and put skyline emblems on the back. Even with a turbo and JDM emblems it is still not a R35 Skyline. I saw one in a magazine yesterday it made me laugh.

I am one of the few people that like the Z rear more then the G rear. I do have my FairladyZ emblem though.. I just like calling it by its true name.. The skyline is supposed to come here in 07' under the Infinity name which is crap I think but if it does come Ill be one of the first buyers.

so you would really buy a car just because it has a name on it?

you would buy a car that has been stripped of its beastly heritage?

our skyline will be nothing like the skylines of japan, the only way we could get thier types of numbers would be to go off and do a swap right off the bat, and then, what swap would you choose? rb26? so once again i ask, why would anyone buy that piece of infinity crap....

i do like the g35's i like them alot, but i dont like the fact that nissan would take the glorious skyline and put its name on a glorified g35...

^^ You do know the new skylines run the vq right? same series as the Z and G use.. the rb is no more. I have even seen some of the R34 owners dropping in the new vq instead of the rb..

All of my performance parts come off Monday. It has been fun and I learned alot about working on a turbo car. The turbo is sold.

I still have the PnP head and WEB cam for sale. This will get you 20+whp. T3 will get you 20whp, if you use a T3-T4 you will see bigger numbers. The head was ported to the same specs as Catalyst and his 300whp civic. I am asking $700 and not asking for core return. I paid $650 for just the head. I am giving the cam for free. I need the $$ by monday. Someone needs this and can help me out. I have a problem and have to come up with $2k by monday. I also have H4 HID kit for sale $290. Let me know.

I know places in Dubai where you could get a Skyline GTR for cheap. Why even mess with a turbo civic.

You are right, but I live in Pakistan. Importing used cars is currently banned in my country. And even if one passes that through, the duties are so high that the net cost goes sky high. The cheapest option to have a fast car in Pakistan is to get a civic and make the best out of it. However, the rich guys here have such cars that most of us can only dream of ( at least for now )
