well, most people that like the skyline like the GTR, which is mechanically a totally different vehicle from the normal skyline like the G35 sold here. The GTR has the RB26 twin turbo and the HICAS and ATTESA plus the capability of getting 1000+ hp from various turbo upgrades etc. and even 80 HP over stock just from a ECU upgrade to a bone stock GTR. On the other hand, the US G35 and normal Japanese Skyline has a non-turbo VQ35 V6 so there are no ECU boost adding possibilities, but you can still go turbo etc and get probably close to 500HP with the kits available now. Basically, the regular Skyline and GTR are as different as a Sentra 1.8s and a SE-R Spec V or a more blatant analogy of a Corvette (skyline GTR) and the newest model Impala SS(regular skyline, except the regular skyline is RWD), thats really how different the two cars are in performance and tuning possibilites. So to conclude here, the skyline GTR everyone that saw 2Fast2Furious fantasizes about and the JGTC race car street version has never been released in the US or anything really close to it, so if thats the car you want you have to import it or wait for the new GTR Proto to begin production.
