Do they sell nissan skylines in the united states?

[Tret]

How much do they cost?

 

[bubbadu]

I dont think they do, but I heard that they were going to bring them over officaly soon

 

[illustri]

g35 the closest you'll get

 

[Nocturnal]

Nope but Motorex imports them and legalizes them from Japan.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

Yes, they do. Last time I checked a nice new R34 V-Spec would run you about 90k or so.

*waiting*

 

[Tret]

How much would it cost and when is nissan planning to bring them to the us?

Not by Nissan, but they can be bought here in the states but it's an excessive amount of money IIRC.

I think you mean R34. The R35 is not out yet.
Something people seem to confuse a lot is that there are two DIFFERENT models. Skyline and Skyline GT-R. The new Skyline is available right now as the Infiniti G35. Nissan is dropping the "Skyline" part of the GT-R so the next model will simply be called Nissan GT-R.

[WinkOsmosis]

G35 = Skyline. They don't see GTRs though.

 

[speed24get]

um... the skyline is "faster" than a G35.... that said some nissan sales guy said they're bringing the skyline over in 2005. that and monkey's will fly out of my a$$.

 

[murphy55d]

It's actually http://www.motorex.net,, the .com is some Swiss company.

i actually saw a gunmetal r34 gtr with a huge turbo, full exhaust and everything.... when that thing revved up and let off the gas, there was a backfire pop like no other... i was prob'ly 40 yards away, and i could feel it hit right in my chest... it was amazing

No, the previous generation skyling GTR is faster, but the poster didn't ask that. The current generation Nissan Skyline is the Infiniti G35 here in the US. Nissan no longer makes a high performance version of the Skyline, which was the GTR model. Nissan has decided to create a new model as the sucessor to the the Skyline GTR, which will just be called the GTR. The Skyline and the GTR are two DIFFERENT CARS. GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEADS PEOPLE.

It's just like buying a Civic. They have the DX, LX, HX, EX, and Si, the Si being the fastest. The GTR is the model that most people think of when they hear the word "Skyline", but they're thinking about the higher performance model of the Skyline. Nissan does and did make much weaker versions of the Skyline.

Here's the link for the Nissan Skyline website: http://www2.nissan.co.jp/SKYLINE/V35/0301/ They slap on different badges, then bring them to the states as Infiniti G35s.

Also, Nissan did liken the SE-R to the Skyline due to the fact that the older fron fascia took styling clues from it. I remember seeing a Nissan add mentioning the Skyline, although it was an add for the Sentra SE-R.

The G35 here in the US is nothing like the R34, R33, R32 models in japan. The G35 is a V-6, rear wheel drive, tuned down wimp compared to the japan-spec R34 (as well as the R33, R32 models). The R34 GT-R skyline in comparison comes stock with the RB26DETT (a beefly V-6 with twin-turbos). The R34 would destroy a US spec G35 on the track any day of the week.

I highly doubt the US will bring the japan spec skyline over anytime soon. Motorex sells them used for mid to high 80k range, but in japan you can buy a brand new model from nissan for about 30-35k less! Subaru just did it with the STi, so lets hope Nissan follows suit...but im not getting my hopes up.

The R34 is no longer being produced, it has been discontinued due to new emissions laws! Nissan can't being anything over that they no longer produce! That said, the new generation Nissan Skyline = Infiniti G35.
