Default Skyline R33 GT-R sighting

seen in Diamon Plaza up in LA area. (fullerton rd, off 60 freeway)

goddamn, this has got to be one of the most beautiful cars i've seen. the only thing i dont like though, is the angled exhaust, everything else i love. this is my favorite model styline; the 33.

Yea, the acrade there also import car. Arcade Infinity also own Infinity Motorsport, which import skyline.

I think a use R33 goes for about 50K or so, and a used R34 goes for about 80K.

I use to play alot of games there, so I always have a nice talk with the owner. Family business.

In all honesty, as much as I love the Skyline, and as rare as it is. I would of just bought a use supra, and import a Ab-Flug wide body kit or the Top Secret GT-300 Wide body kit, put it on, paint it, and only drive it for weekend.

It is just as fast, but with you go wide, you can't go wrong.

Nice, very nice. I believe I saw the Blue one before. About a month ago I saw a blue one at Stonestown Galleria Shopping here in SF near SFSU.

Wow. I had no idea R33/34 GTRs were so uncommon in the US. R33s (gtr) are all over the place over here. R34s aren't as common but there are a few I see on the regular.

Are Skylines in general (non-gtr included) still not all that comon in the States?

they've never released for retail sale here in the US. the only ones here had to be specially imported and legalized for US use, and they are all RHD.

and yeah, this was right down the stairs from AI. i spotted it a while ago when i went up there to play IIDX 8th Style when it was new.
