i am in no way a know it all, and i dont own a Skyline now a RX-7. But i have read this forum for 3 years. i have provided proff throughout this thread, but no one has. Secondly with the rx-7 and GTR battle, it really depends on the track. If its shorter and has more turns, then an RX-7 has the advantage as its a handling machine, but it there are more straight aways and hills, the R34 GTR will win (with all things being equal: tires, driver skill). I have seen loads of videos comparing these cars, and the results have been similar. I dont doubt both of these cars ability, they are awesome cars.


Now with legalization, i have given proof on eveything and have yet to be proven wrong. Only Motorex had the ability to legalize cars. And the others that come on saying, "my boss can legalize the cars" and then i say "where is the paper work" and they say "i dont have it", that is straight BS. I know people have import cars and have jdm personally. I have given the reasons of most of my knowledge of how to import a shell and legalize it in the US and a DD. I will not be US legal, but it will qualify for a DD. It is a proven fact that equally match FWD and RWD come into a handling match a RWD will out handle it. We all know that Vin changes are illegal and if you get caught and it has happen, you will get an ass raping.

Haha - I've just finished reading this thread & boy do you guys get worked up! Some good arguments though

Yep, psuLemon, you're right with regards to importing legally, insurance fraud and performance numbers - neogeon, I understand what you're saying about a small country cop not knowing jack about the skyline, but if one of those "illegal" cars was involved in a fatal collision, and the driver of the other car was killed, the "maxi/line" driver is not only facing federal prosecution, but is gonna be sued for homicide, so the risk is def not worth it!!! Also know what you mean with how a car actually feels as opposed to performance figures, but remember you were not driving a real GTR, so its like comparing apples with oranges.

Yes, the Maxima A32 onwards is known as the Cefiro in Japan - trim levels are either plain Cefiro, Cefiro Excimo, Cefiro Cruising, or Cefiro S-Touring, in 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 & 3.5 liter form, in both 4 door sedan and wagon variants. Japanese Cefiro's don't get all the goodies the other markets get - eg the New Zealand Maxima is a much better specified car than the Cefiro and only comes with 3.0 or 3.5 liter engines.

Oh yeah, the Sunny GTi-R is actually a Pulsar GTi-R badged Sunny for some markets...
