Default Skyline GTR, who wants one?

Well i know many of you have heard of Motorex. I have their web site and they are advertising some of the older model skyline GTR. Price range around 28K and up. They have a V-spec 2001 GTR for 95K!!!!!!!!!!!!, only 120 miles. So heres your chance to own a dream, before they vanish.

By the way Nissan is building a special "going out in style" version GTR, hand built motor with all the trimmings such as titanium parts up the ying-yang. Price? who knows, they'll be asking a mint since this is the last year there building them.

Question GTS, STD

I know that the Vspec model is Nissans top of the line Twin turbo model, but I noticed they also have an STD ( standard???) model and a GT-S model. Does anyone know what these other models are. I'm guessing one of them is an NA model.


Thanks JAC

Eh, I wouldn't buy from Motorex...most of their cars were in accidents and repaired...like Craig Liberman's R34...that thing is an industry "slvt"...it's been around...some ugly ***** has been done to that car but at least it looks pretty now...

Just a little warning...just check the cars out carefully before you hand over the cash (and have someone who's does BODY WORK on cars look at it also)...that's all I'm saying...

Why go to Motorex and pay 95k for a used R34 GT-R, and KNOWING that you're being ripped off? I don't know about other people but I'm smarter than paying double the price for a car just because it's hard to get.

V-Spec GT-Rs just have better AWD systems...... upgraded from the ATESSA system in GT-R to ATESSA PRO in V-Spec.

as for R32 GT-S....... I think Motorex sells the GTS-t, the RB20DET R32. It's nothing compared to RB26 or even RB25DET used in R34 GT-t. It's a waste of money to buy that R32 GTS....... get a 240sx with SR20 will beat that GTS.

Default Skyline, no not me

Just for the record guys my question was just curiosity related, I am definately not interested in buying one (skyline) if that's what was implied.

I have been to the motorex site a few times before... they are mad loot, but to import one is actually more money at the getgo cause of the bond you have to put up on the car... even tho you can get the cars for way way less...plus you have to make them legal over here too which costs money... too much of a pain in the butt for me,...

IMO 95K for any used car is too much.

95K for a used right hand drive car in the US is crazy.

I'd take a 911 anyday IMO - or add a bit more and get a maserati sypder

yeah actually there's NO WAY you can make a Skyline rice........ most people who just rice up Civics and Integs can't afford Skylines (not to be mean or anything) and if they can afford it, they wouldn't be ricing any cars up period.

I have never seen a riced-up GTR. Heck, it's even rare to see riced up Civics and Integs in Japan.

Actually I would take a R34 over a 911 turbo..... it doesn't take much work to build a 600hp GT-R that'll totally eat up a 911 Turbo.

just because he's a moderator does not mean he can't voice his damn opinion...if he thinks strongly that the skyline is not rice, he should be able to say so without your interruption, and if i were the mod,and you said that to me, i would have prob modded your ***.
