Something you don't see everyday. One of my buddies just picked this car up today. 1994 Nissan Skyline GT-R V Spec II. It's right hand drive, has twin turbos, all wheel drive, engine has been dynoed at 900+ horse. He just has to put it together. :) Don't pay any attention to the technical stuff, just some quick snapshots.

nice car, but if those are the turbos it was dynoed on i doubt its 900+...900+ cars dont run on twins, especially when they are internaly gated...

either way its a nice car just saying i think you were fed some bs...

i had a hard time believing that when my buddy told me, but who knows. my buddy had his gsxr 1000 for sale on the web, and the dude that had this car found the bike, and wanted to trade. the only thing i'm a little leary of is that the car has a japanese title, never been titled in america.

Be careful, there is a Federal Seizure out for the cars right now. ALL Skylines that cam through Motorex and the other company are illegal now.

This might be why your friend got it so cheap, he may have just gave his bike away for nothing.

Yeah, because all of those Importing companies were not meeting the requirements for them to be here and the government shut them down and made them give up all of there records to where the cars are at. There is a big group of Skyline owners now trying to do something to get their cars back.

Please stop spreading lies. 100% false. Motorex cars are still legal. I currently have two friends with Motorex R33 GTRs. Check your sources.
