TheHaze Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 ...shit is 100times more strict now... Unfortunately, this is true. I've talked to some guys who've attempted to bring cars here through California a few years back and they're still waiting on completed forms and shit and still don't know if it'll happen.I'd rather buy one of these cars for track use anyway.

Mojoe Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I talk to a guy at Mid Ohio last year that was the owner of Motorex. He was there racing his Skyline. I believe he told me it was too big a hassle all the time and he wanted to race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I heard they stopped importing Skylines due to faulty testing information for the pre 1998 cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he told me it was too big a hassle all the time and he wanted to race. The owner of Motorex went to jail. They used the crash data for the R33s, to get the paperwork for the R34s. So they only truly legal/federalized Skylines are the R33s they brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentRX7 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Sorry. We were unable to get the cars.. They were sold for export only and there was going to be verification that the cars left the country in 60 days. Sorry for the false hopes.

Vander Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Well I'm still interested in purchasing a stock U.S. titled Nissan Skyline GTR R32. If anyone finds one, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Well I'm still interested in purchasing a stock U.S. titled Nissan Skyline GTR R32. If anyone finds one, let me know. Cuz an 18 y/o kid can afford that car....right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Cuz an 18 y/o kid can afford that car....right? R32's are cheap..... really cheap. one can be had on a used car lot in Japan for around $2000 our money, and I would assume that an imported police auction one wouldn't be much more.
