So I'm in the military, in Japan coming back stateside next July with me being able to take a 25 year old car back.
Right now I have a seafoam green two-tone 1988 S13 with a PS Sr20 not notchback.
Had a CA but I did the swap. With it having the swap though there is a 75% chance that I can still get it on the boat to make it to the port in the states. Risky :eek3:

However I can sell it and get a 89 Gtst (don't have the money for a GTR).

So my question is...

Which would you take?

The 1988 Black top SR20 s13 Silvia or the R32 RB20 Skyline Gts-T?

Take back the Skyline there are soo many RHD 240's here with SR's going for 4-5K its not worth it...

+1 Skyline

PS. 4-Door's are better ;)

Exactly what my argument was with the people here.
240's are everywhere in the states. Coupes an hatches. Then zilvia is constantly selling 13 , kouki 14 fronts, an 15 fronts. Then if you really want the RH drive you can buy a cut stateside. Plus SRs are everywhere.
GTS-Ts are rare in the states, can't half cut it, RBs are kinda rare. So yeah GTST it is.
Now the question is 2door or 4door? I also wanna throw a gtr front on it since it bolts up.

How much does an R32 GTR go for? I imagine pricey since Canada has been importing them for a while.

But it might be worth it just to stretch and bring one back. Would command a pretty high premium in the US.

Find a way to afford a GTR IMO, you deserve it...

Have you thought about a Toyota Chaser? Not sure what the first year of the nicer body style was though.

lol Sadly enough myself and Sstrappjr both bought S13 Silvias

I sold my four dour skyline and bought my silvia I have today...

What I see now... Yes and No 240's are everywhere...

If you go to a Local drift event of course there will be a few.. but then comes the question how many are clean.. how many have no rust.. How many still have A/C will all interior panels?

Then even then.... we have SILVIA's so a little more rarity in my opinion..

Skylines are cool, nice body lines but its all up to the user
