And then it will be time to get pounded by a Honda Civic. But hey, they do look better than the Civic, I'll give you that.
>>14752079
Hopefully by then, they'll be $100k and you lot can't afford them
>>14752087
>Yanks will make them better and faster
FTFY
>>14752087
why? there's relatively easy power potential out of the box, v8 swaps are usually when the stock motor has a relatively low power ceiling
>>14752108
>RWD
>faster
lol
>>14752129
Actually they will be. The Jap GT series GTRs are all RWD.

thats because everyone got asshurt at AWD being faster and cried until it was banned
>>14752177
No that's not why.

Well, it's true.

wat, no its not, its done because they have to follow FIA rules
> And not have to service 2000 other parts
its a racecar, they have a whole team fixing the car
its not an issue on wrc for eample, and it was not an issue on older touring cars
>>14752087
Who cares? Don't be a fanboy faggot. I want to own an LS swapped R34 skyline and a VR38DETT swapped Ferrari just to piss shitheads like you off.
>>14752266
aren't you a special snowflake
>>14752262

They don't have to follow FIA rules. It's a Japanese race series ya faggot. It's only in Japan.
>>14752274

google what international means and how japanese racing is regulated by the FIA before posting again
Fuck NHTSA fascists.

>implying the 25 year rule isn't the result of butthurt german car manufacturers lobbying to make importing their vehicles from europe without going through their dealershit network illegal

>>14752279
It's regulated by the JGTC in Japan...not the FIA.
When they used to race internationally outside of Japan (3 countries) they had to follow FIA rules.
>>14752300

Mmm'kay can y'all try to give me the whole story (without arguing) as to why they were RWD instead of AWD? are RWD GTR race cars faster at this point? or are they doing this because they have to?
I really have no idea how Super GT works so i'm neutral/ am confused. also what about non-super GT GTRs?
>>14752317
Legal != non-corrupt

>>14752309
>its regilated by the JGTC
its regulated by the JAF, which is regulated by the FIA
http://www.fia.com/about-fia/member-clubs/japan-automobile-federation
the have been regulated by the FIA since forever, even in the beggining the followed the Group A and N rules, dictated by the FIA
what the hell are you talking about man
>>14752321
I'll explain it to you, because those posters are retarded
Super GT is run by the GT Association which sets the rules. The Super GT GT-Rs are carbon tub silhouettes and share absolutely nothing with the production GT-R
the FIA GT1 and GT3 GT-Rs are rwd because those are the rules stipulated.
In the 90s the GT Association changed the rules after Group A ended so that's why the JGTC cars were rwd when the R33 came about. The
JTCC however still followed Grp A and Grp N rules so awd GT-R still ran in that class
>>14752351
>>14752309
Super GT is NOT under FIA.
They make their own rules and regulations.
>>14752347
No, but what if he has them built here instead?
There's a company in texas building and selling old DeLorean that they re-build with updated technology fixing any flaws the car originally had and giving it good modern gas mileage and power while keeping its looks and style.
Imagine if old cars like the RX7 and R32-34 could be re-made exactly like it is now and nissan would just build them here or anywhere anyone wants to buy a retro GTR.
There's some law that allows classic cars to be re-built and legally sold.
>>14752321
if i understand it correctly
>be nissan
>create the r32 gtr because the r31 gts-r was a shit
>was only supposed to be an homologation special
>sales like crazy because it dominated every single race it entered
>have to create a new class just for it
>continue to dominate touring cars in australia and other asian countries
>eventually the fia dictates JGTC should follow gt1 and gt2 rules
>gt300 and gt500 is created
>no more group a and group n racing
now they follow dtm rules for gt500 and gt3 for gt300
>>14752369
how exactly are they not under fia if the jaf is an fia member?
>>14752378
The R31 did pretty well.
americucks lol
been legal here for years
>>14752393
Super GT does not follow FIA stipulated GT1 regulations. FIA doesn't have any say in what SGT can or can't do
>>14752177
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbHyibefrYs
nice
>>14752428
but during the early 00's they raced along gt1 diablos, 911s and mclarens
plus they have to follow dtm rules now
at waht point did the fia became the ruling
power?
>>14752453
FIA is not the ruling power.
They also has Corvettes and the like too
JGTC/Super GT has always pretty much done what they wanted. They're listed as a national championship, FIA doesn't tell them what to do.
they're following DTM rules now because they made some agreement with DTM a couple of years ago
>>14752464
That's a C4? looks pretty damn good as a race car.
Not gonna lie, I would LS swap it.
That RB i6 is junk and makes shit for power.
>>14752509
have a (You)
>>14752079
lmao who cares, nobody on /o/ will have enough money to import one and those who do are smart enough to buy something else that'll be faster, cheaper and not 25 years old
>>14752079
>7 more years until this car I'll never have because I'm poor becomes legal to import
You fanboys crack me up
>>14752079
>prices skyrocketing
>>14752079
7 more years until what?
>>14752378
It never dominated touring cars in Australia
It won a rave bevause someone crashed
UT got raped by the rx7 in 12 hours, not racing against relics of the 80s
>>14752266
'72 Dodge Dart Swinger w/ BMW M62TU, for the exact same reason.
Hopefully the R33 will be super cheap by the time these are available. Everyone wants the R32 right now, so demand is especially high because of the fact its the first Skyline GT-R. Then you have the R34 which is considered the best of them all, while the R33 is that middle sister that nobody wants.
>>14752079
GTRs are overrated
>>14752377
>jap crap from the '90s
>classics
>>14754981
Doubt it. All the skyline prices have been rising worldwide as they slowly enter other markets due to importation laws. In Australia R32 GTR's used to be had for around 13k a few years back, now your lucky to find something decent for under 20. It wont be long before the R33 starts to rise in price as they become legalised (And truth be told, they are a better car on paper than the R32) and the R34 GTR in turn.
>>14752161
As I've gotten older I've began to like performance wagons.
It's the practicality, sleeper status(depending), and absurdity etc that makes me go hhnngg yes pls
>>14755062
If I had cash and a garage and a trailer I'd snap one up.
>get ahead of bigger price spike
>probably get it faster since there's not a flood of people buying them
>trailer to racetracks
>register when time expires
>>14755062
some yank has already bought a r34 gtr from the uk.
it's in climate controlled storage till he can legally drive it.
>>14755062
>a better car on paper than the R32
sure
>uglier
>GT-R33 weighs 100kg more than the GT-R32
>won significantly less races than the 32
>fucking fat holy shit
>>14755062
>as they slowly enter other markets due to importation laws
The US is the only market.
Every other market pretty much has had them for years already.
>>14755217
Definitely mate. Especially if you can get it in a nice colour with low km and even v-spec if possible. You will be sitting on an appreciating asset.
>>14755245
Styling is subjective. I've driven both plenty of times and owned one, and can say the R33 GTR interior is by far a much nicer place to be than the R32 GTR. With the R32, you feel the need to apologise to your non car enthusiast friends as to why you insist on driving around in a plastic filled (yet still aesthetic for the 80's) noisy car.
Bad argument with the less races than the R32, as anyone who knows about Skyline history knows that the R33 never really had a competition to race in, as it pretty much all got shut down with the R32. The R33 had a much quicker nurburgring time for comparison. I can't be bothered to look it up at present, but feel free to do it for me. I hope you appreciated the reasoned reply, opposed to resorting to subjective facts.
>>14755251
That's correct, but no market aside from the USA really had the forbidden fruit view about the GTR linage. Prices are rising directly due to importation becoming legalised into the USA. Ask any importer, or check the importation records for yourself :)
>>14754694
The only reason that makes me upset is because I ride pre-93 Chrysler cock. I'm all for engine swaps, if they're from the same company. I'd love a 1st gen Dakota with an SRT-4
Was the original engine blown? Or was the car a junker?
>>14755217
>tfw too poor to buy one now when it's cheap
>not gonna drop 60k to get one when they come to the US
>>14752377
those cars also cost a fuck ton of money so if you're prepaid to waste 100k+ on a shit box relic go for.
>>14755713
Same here. My life is in the shitter due to injury.
>>14752079
Why would you want that pigfat POS?
oh boy another car for amerifats to ruin
