not owned. You totally missed my point. I was trying to say that the modifications will catch up to the faster car is bullshit.
And yes, I have driven a Chevrolet Blazer with a screwed up headliner.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

It depends where you live, in America it would be difficult and expensive to get parts since the car was never sold there and isn't road legal anyway.
EDIT- Also the price of the local competition makes a difference. In the UK R34 GTRs are on the Autotrader website at £30,000 which is three year old TVR Cerbera 4.5 prices. (Actually the Cerbera is £26k)

i would assume we'd be talking about places where they are street legal, since you can't have a skyline to tune in the first place otherwise...

As I mentioned in my edit, in britain they aren't cheap considering the competition.

honestly, if you need over 500hp, well, that's not my problem.

Actually, I do not have anything against Nissan Skyline's. Skyline's are good looking cars that are cheap, reliable, fun to drive and have good performance figures.
We shouldn't allow the tuning culture/RICEing culture affect our opinion of this very good car.
