Popped? It straight out fell!

[TurboTagTeam]

They are 100% legal in Canada. Most people get them from there. They cost about 10k up there for a good one.

[SlowcusSVT]

yeah he got it from canada. he has an importing business and canada is like the middle man. he can get anything. hes looking into getting me the focus rs europe has

[PUREKDM]

hows he register, insure, drive them??

[lawdogg]

Pretty sweet! Is that the ATTESA-T model or is it RWD?

Respectfully, one thing I will never like, is the sound of an RB-anything engine. Oh well!

[The Captain]

Respectfully, one thing I will never like, is the sound of an RB-anything engine. Oh well!

Wow. My favorite sounding engines are the RB and 2JZ.

[Ace]

hows he register, insure, drive them??

That's the trick

[SlowcusSVT]

dont know never really asked. and its rwd/awd.. the front wheels kick in when it senses the rears slipping is what he said,, its awd but not all the time

[TurboTagTeam]

^^^Correct. If you pull the fuse for the center diff controller, it's RWD all day long. I'v ran an R32 on my 2wd dynojet :mrgreen:

[05suby]

he said that the dmv told him to put a cat on it and it would be fine if i remember correctly and like it was mentioned before, it came from canada. get some videos during the daytime.

[240sxDann]

wait so...we can get skylines from canada?! I love how RB's sound but that thing sounds really....idk...buzzy.

[cburwell]

IIRC: Only R32's are old enough to legally import into Canada.

[Scapegoat]

probably the ONLY skyline I like...

but those rims, bodykit, and spoiler are ugly.

I'll take one in stock trim please... how much? no seriously, find out. kthanx...

[peteyturbo]

If it was legal to bring them into the us, they would be directly imported into the US. Most likely the car is illegally here.

hows he register, insure, drive them??
He probably doesn't, probably doesn't, and illegally.

he said that the dmv told him to put a cat on it and it would be fine if i remember correctly and like it was mentioned before, it came from canada. get some videos during the daytime.
What a lot of people don't realize is that Japan is more strict with emissions than we are in the US. Emissions is not the issue with importing cars, it's the safety standards. In order to properly import a car (that does not have a US version), you need to modify the bumpers on them and then do several crash tests on them. I personally do not think it's worth bringing 5 skylines in to wreck 4 of them.

You may have heard of Motorex, they used to import Skylines. They were the only legal importer of the Skyline, until Nanahoshi Hiroaki (the owner of Motorex) decided to steal Skylines from Japan and import them into the US. Needless to say, when this all went down, Hiroaki was locked up and his importing privileges have been rescinded.

[a2low240]

I just got back from Canada 2 weeks ago, R32 Skylines and Silvias are soo common up there now. Anything 15 years or older is legit to import. It's cheaper to buy one of these cars than build one now. A decent R32 can be had for under 5K. Silvias are even cheaper.

[05suby]

lies? :bigeek:

nope thats what he said and all his friends said the same thing. if you want one come out on a thursday to the meet at his work and talk to him. its the java coffee meet.

his car is 100% legal

[SlowcusSVT]

no its 100% percent legal, maybe its just you but it clearly has a delaware t tag on the car, he got it for 12.5k.. he had to get a cat and wire the side lens so they are on at all times. he bought the car as you see it, it has 400whp. and so on.. he can import anything, not just skylines, rx7 silvias 300zs anything of that nature. if you want to get ahold of him goto

lies? :bigeek:

It's just another early 90's japanese sportscar. The same class as RX-7, 300ZX, VR-4, etc ... the Skyline is the Mustang of Japan. But for some reason it's always more desirable if you can't have it ...

[vwcorradokid]

Importing Japanese Cars or importing cars into the USA from any country requires that they meet safety standards as outlined in the Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 as revised in 1988 in the Imported Vehicle Safety Compliance Act; to air pollution control standards as outline in the Clean Air Act of 1968 and amended in 1977 and again in 1990; and to the bumper standards of the 1972 Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act that were effective in 1978. If the vehicle does not meet United States standards, it must be either exported, brought into compliance or destroyed.

Form HS-7 must be filed by motor vehicle importers when the vehicle is imported to declare if the vehicle is in compliance with requirements of the DOT. Generally, if a motor vehicle is less than 25 years old and it is being imported permanently to the USA, it must comply with all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Bumper standards apply to motor vehicles manufactured after September 1, 1978 and theft-prevention standards apply to vehicles manufactured in the 1987 and later model years. Driver side door certification labels by the original manufacture must be affixed to motor vehicles made to meet these standards.

i'm aware of that. I thought they were still going in the 20k range, imported and altered to be legal in the states

[TurboTagTeam]

i'm aware of that. I thought they were still going in the 20k range, imported and altered to be legal in the states

For a FEDERALIZED, titled, registered, and prevously insured GTR. You are spending 20k or more. A skyline is NOT legal unless it is federalized. Meaning it was given a 17 digit VIN code.

So...you are right.

[lawdogg]

i'm aware of that. I thought they were still going in the 20k range, imported and altered to be legal in the states

Ah, gotcha. I see what you mean - you're right - $12k for ANY foreign market car, imported & legal is pretty damn cheap. :iagree:

[05suby]

yea it is but its all 100% legal. i havent heard him having any problems at all about it. scape if you want to talk to him more about it, he owns the java coffee shop we meet at on thursdays.

[Mercury]

hows he register, insure, drive them??

Them?

That silver car is my buddies WRX.

[drew32]

yea it is but its all 100% legal. i havent heard him having any problems at all about it. scape if you want to talk to him more about it, he owns the java coffee shop we meet at on thursdays.

How do you know the car is 100% legal, he only has a temp tag on it.

[05suby]

thats what he told me and some others. he hasnt said anything about cops bothering him. and the temp tag is because he just got the car like 3 weeks ago. it takes time for the actual plate and **** to come in.

[drew32]

In DE you get your tag right after you pass inspection there is no wait. He failed certain parts of inspection i forget exactly what he told me.

[Kevin]

Thread fails due to ****ty video. Quality, source, time of day, etc. lol

If I didn't work till 11 every Thursday night I'd get some good videos but it would still be dark I guess.

I want one.

[05suby]

In DE you get your tag right after you pass inspection there is no wait. He failed certain parts of inspection i forget exactly what he told me.

yea he told me, john and kyle that the dmv told him to put a cat on. so maybe that is it. but other than that they said the car is fine so it is legal to have.

[drew32]

Its not that simple, i have a feeling he is leaving something out. Else run it up to midas and get them to fab up a cat and bring it through.

[stang8psi]

To all the haters........ it is real It is legit, and it does have registration and it is insured. We got the car, shipped it over paid 12.5k for it had to do a few things to get it to pass emmisions IE cat and for safety we have to re wire the parking lights. It has a canadian title, We are in the process of getting a Delaware title for it. It. There were no problems with safety issues with the car to pass inspection. And Please don't ask how i know just belive me i know

[05suby]

thank you for clearing it up.

[Evolved]

I thought you could import any car that is 15 years old or longer. Therefore R32 skylines are now becoming available.

[PhillySVT]

lies? :bigeek:

No...actually I found a place in Canada that has a bunch of R32's for 12,000-18,000
