paul walker also drove an evo :-p

agreed.....

mitsuboost30 04-15-2011 08:33 AM

lmfao.... are we in japan.. no... about 90% of people that know about the car now is due to the rep the 32 brought the name........
i understand what your saying... ive been obsessed with the c110 aka Ken and mary since i can remember.. but most people have no idea what that is.
im not saying people didnt know what they were... but you cant deny.. the nickname godzilla was born from the r32 group A racing.. and thats where the legend started... in turn y most people know what they are today. then f&f just ruined it lol

Like I said in the other post.. one would hope that they have made the seized ones they auction off legit before doing so.. or atleast test a few of them and make them legit. It would bring in money ( as there is customs fees that have to be paid when importing things such as cars ) and appease enthusiasts.. but that would make too much sense and well our government isnt that smart to figure that out..

Well there has been another seizure.... a Maroon ECR33 with rb26 swap happened a day ago. Agents showed with warrent and seized on the spot. cant release details yet.. but seems they are after certian individuals. names were brought up and questions were asked..

Way to bring a 11 year old thread back...
BUT... many ITR/CTR cars are legal under the 25 year rule. When in doubt don't buy a non 25 year car.

Is this even possible to find a good skyline in 2022?

Yes, but you’ll pay a fortune. Cheap skylines haven’t been a thing since 2019. Bought mine earlier this year. Took me 8 months of searching to find one that wasn’t trash. But there are some out there.

ParusSa 02-12-2024 01:16 AM

Are there specific challenges or considerations one should be aware of when trying to find a good condition Skyline in 2022?

Galeipulty 02-15-2024 02:13 AM

Have you personally experienced or witnessed any challenges or issues related to the importation of cars, particularly in light of government actions and regulations?
