I got a R33 now what?

I just recently purchased a Skyline GTS-T R33 two months ago for $2000. It's so freakin' nice and drives like a charm. I live in Japan and have the slightest clue where to start with performance parts and upgrades... I have a Classic Sentra Se-R at home and this R33 definately blows my mond each time I crank it up... seriously. I am kinda affraid of it at times...lol. Can you guys give me some insight on where I should start with performance parts and upgreades...

Thanks for your honest opinion but many people here give me props for the wheels, but to each his own. Well I am going to be able to bring it back with me because the NAVY is going to ship it for me for free. I am going to get it registered in Tennessee because theres no crazy regulations there.

your wrong about that. The skyline will not meet DOT regulations and you will not be able to get it legalized.

it doesn't matter how its registered it matters how it imported, theres a way u can import it and drive it around BUT you can only have it here for a year

thats not true

you get it shipped over as the shell only and then ship the motor seperatly then put it together and register it as a kit car. at least thats how www.evolutionimpots.com does it. but they import it then export it to jamaca then im port it again or something but they ear thing is BS

For all of you out there that don't know shit and do nothing but look at the bad side of things there is a way to legalize skylines in the U.S. It is true the in Tennessee you don't have that BS bullcrap restrictions. It is true that it has to meet certain DOT regulations but still the same it is legal. Also, registered as a kit car or not we all know when we see one it is real all the way through. So don't worry over the stupid paper work unless you are worried about the restrictions of how many miles you can drive in a year. I personally live in Tennesse and was also in the Navy so I know where you are coming from. I know what the hell I'm talking about because I have two skyline engines and plenty of skyline parts to go with them. I run my own custom/spec car company (Enigma Designs) in Nashville, so look me up when you get back from Japan bro and I will help you out. There are probably half a dozen skylines in Atlanta, GA that I have seen that are legalized, it is one of the great things about living in the south because we just don't give a bleep about all the other red tape. For all of you out there that say these cars can't be legalized, that is why you don't have a skyline and if you do have one that isn't registered then you gave up before you started. Good luck bro and look me up when you get here.
