Looking to import a Skyline R34...need some info

[CleanCL]

Does anyone know if MotoRex, out in California, is still the only company in the US that is certified for importing the Skylines? I know up until about 2-3 years ago they were the only ones with a patent on importing the R34's (they were the only company that had subjected five :no: R34's for crash testing; poor, rare, incredible Nissan Skylines...)

[imgaylook@me]

fucking idiot

[CleanCL]

fucking idiot
:rolleyes: What the hell...? How do you figure that??

[imgaylook@me]

i dunno... ignore me

[KA-T2fourTee]

u wont get one, trust me it would take months for an R.I to approve your car, get one thats atleast 20 yrs old and you dont have to worry about importing, it would be under the grandfather law and not have to have emmisons just safty. a r32 u can get for about 4 grand, and to get it reg. and over here would take about 6 months and 5 grand

[CleanCL]

i dunno... ignore me
Just post something positive man...

R34 is the shit for a reason...You can get one for around $40,000+ or so, with the cost of the car, the $5,000 MotoRex fee, and $1,000 shipping fee...they're pretty quick getting you the car from what I've been researching, about a month after you purchase the car and get it shipped to them.

Well, Motorex isn't the only legal importing company in the US... besides y go to them when there's one in @tlanta. Try Shouri MotorSports. Unless u got money to spend, i'd prefer getting just the chassis of any R32, R33, or R34 and just getting a motor and u'll come out alot cheaper. Plus, getting it inspected if u plan to do that will make it alot easier bcuz u didn't receive it complete with motor and all installed. If it was, ur registration would be anywhere from $1 - $20,000. Believe me, CoolCatRacing told me.

:werd: so you're sure that MotoRex isnt the only one anymore who can do the R34? Because I know there are other importing companies, but to be able to get them inspected and street legal, you have to subject atleast 5 of whatever the vehicle is to get crash tested... like I said, I know until about 2-3+ years ago, MotoRex was the only company that had done that.

lol, MotoRex isn't importing 34's. Those turds got busted.

[wantboost]

MotoRex has been closed for some time now.......
read the articles about it, makes for a good read......

[SPOOLIN]

lol, MotoRex isn't importing 34's. Those turds got busted.

yep and as far as i currently know, you cant legalize them anymore since they got busted because they falsified documents and those cars never really got approved.

[81911SC]

Fuck a R34

[OneSlow5pt0]

Fuck a R34

:stupid:

[aemkitfox]

Whatever, I'd have an R34's kids. There are some on ebay every now and then, and I think that's as good as it gets unless you move to a country that'll take them.

[1989_crx_si]

GTR's are a joke.. it's just because there's not much here in the U.S. so it seems to attract alot of people.. imagine if there's no CIVICS here.. people will be all over importing a STUPID CIVIC here..

i got buddies that have skylines.. they're really not the SH|T..

mind as well get a ferrari son..

[OneSlow5pt0]

well if ur importing cars


pick me up a FTO

haa too much $$

[fivex684]

No one does them any more. The only way to get a legal one is to find an old Motorex car. You could always go gray market and get "state legal" or "kit car".

[Ran]

"Kit car" would be your best best. Get a shell then get a motor and slap them together.

[zoborax]

If you want one, have the money, and are serious, I can get one for you. I just got my R32 GTR, recently, which is probably the cleanest one in the country. Titled, insured and registered. NO. Not "federalized." But about as legit as one can get without going that route. PM me if you're interested.

[quickdodge®]

^^^^ Don't trust this dude here. Later, QD.

[Tracy]

You can't get one that has crash testing anymore. Motorex fucked that up for everyone and they have the approved plans that they bought in the first place. The only thing you can do is get it as a "kit car" and then it's still shady. The gov't is aware of the deal with the Sklylines. The didn't used to be so savvy. You can find Skylines all over in the states. Most of them aren't legally registered. Sure they are driving them. I know someone who has one titled as an Acura. Ok until he gets caught and loses $60k.

Its is actually about knowing people and that is key. Moe has a gtr-33 and it is registered as a skyline. The company he deals with actually puts books out about the skylines they sale and other things. I know they are located in Texas, but give him a pm and he will get back to you.

Ahhh my long lost buddy Quick Dodge, the one who must be green with envy. For those who are interested, I have the proof of the pudding. I've got the car and the title and the insurance. Oh and not to mention, you can contact Keebler on here, who bought my old R33 GTS25t, last year. He can vouch for me. Anyways, if you are really interested in picking up a skyline or any other JDM vehicle, I can point you in the right direction. I don't do it myself, but I do know some very reputable people in this niche market who can help you out! Below is a pic of my car, except I don't have the nice Advan wheels, just stock ones.

Sorry to bust your bubble but you don't have the cleanest r32 in the USA. You don't even have the cleanest r32 on the site.

Not only were they illegally bringing in the R32 and R34 but they weren't even doing the conversion process that did make them legal: the NHTSA, DOT, & EPA caught on to it and stripped them of their license. They've been closed since March 2006. ;)

[MachNU]

lol there is a guy on this site, who doesnt post much that has a company out of savannah that is in importing cars but its not cheap a bone stock r34 completely legal will run you upwards of 50k! hell i paln on getitng my s15 in a couple years for him, already got an out the door price from him!

[DeX]

Not sure why people find it so hard to get a Skyline here, I know of guys who have imported hundreds of them into Canada and they have stricter import laws than the USA. A R32 GTR will cost you about $13,000 I guess and a R33 shouldn't be that much more, it's the same engine with a different shell.

[CleanCL]

How much would a legal R33 cost?
12-20Gs

[CleanCL]

the R34s are so hard becasue noone can shell out the $$ to get 5 crash tested.

[CleanCL]

haha thats funny.

[man]

R34's for crash testing; poor, rare, incredible Nissan Skylines...)

:lmao:

[jaystar]

i wanna r33. But i know skylineking dont do it.

[zoborax]

Like I said before, if you have money and are interested. PM me. or for any other questions. An R33 GTR will run you about $30-$35k titled and registered.

[R32Dragon]

Yes, but you have a r32 gts-t, thats the worst fucking car ever.

Im sure most people will take my Skyline over that Sentra of yours... Dont hate bro.

[1000cckiller]

^^^Moes skyline looks better

[LeX]

only completely legal skyline you can have now is R33 i forget which year, its 95 isn't it

[R32Dragon]

R33 was produced from 1995 to 1998

[1000cckiller]

only completely legal skyline you can have now is R33 i forget which year, its 95 isn't itAny r33 is legal, thats they only skyline.

[Blitanicle99]

A buddy I used to go to school with I ran into the other night on Barret BP said he got into importing cars. And considering he was driving a real right hand drive FD he doesnt seem to be full of it. You can get them, but knowing the right people and having the cash and lots of cash is the fun part.

[Vteckidd]

you can get R34s just not with titles, or its VERY hard to get a title

expect to pay $50-80000 depending on what model it is
i know where an R34 is for $50,000

[OTG Signs]

Do it yourself through Batfa.

They have three 2000 GTR's for $56,800ea.

And anyone who says they cost more is clearly wrong.

You're way off. Unless you have a 94 R32GTR the motor is very different in the R33. The R34's even from Motorex aren't really legal but the government let them slide since they were already done and there was only 12 of them. Everyone else can only register them in a few ways while some are closer to legal than others none of them are truly "legal." In Ga its easy to register one and you have many options but other states aren't so leniant. The same guy who legalized our R32 GTR and our S15 has a sick white R34 with quite a bit already on the car for sale if you are really interested. From my dealings many people want a skyline but have neither the knowledge or the funds to actually own one. The cars are greatly over rated and are a pain in the ass in the long term. I've dealt with the for years and they aren't what all the fan boys make them out to be. You can get better performance for less money and still have a factory warranty. The fact that you have no idea what happened to Motorex and think they were ever fast on delivery shows that you have no idea what you are doing or getting in to. Do some more research and find out what you are really dealing with and then you will find who knows about the cars and who can get you one properly.

[Cool Cat Racing]

Any r33 is legal, thats they only skyline.
All the Motorex cars were registered as 95's because of their crash testing and legalization process. Since they're all the same, as far as the R33's are concerned, its not a problem.

[Glides]

This thread is so full of shit in and of itself, i'm still wiping it off my hands from where I touched it.

Fact.
Motorex is closed.
Shouri is closed.
You CAN get legal cars in the states.
You CAN legalize cars that you bring in.

Skylines are so 2 years ago now though that it's not even worth the hassle. Sure they are cool but so is an Asian hooker and neither of them are ever going to be quite right and you will always run the risk of getting burnt. 50k for a used car? Rofl, i'll get a Ferrari or a mad modded 930 Turbo. WAY more pussy flies at a Porsche or a Ferrari than a Skyline I can assure you.

You want an R33, my brothers got one right now, 15 grand. Want a true S-15? He's got one of those too.

As for the guy who says it's legal to import them into Canada. AWESOME....now get them to the US and get them legalized and then, and only then will your retarded response even remotely fit into this conversation.

So yourself a favor, buy something already over here that is left hand drive. Because short of going through drive thru's in reverse and attempting to look cool at a car show, you aren't getting anything spectacular.

This thread should have been titled. "Hi, i'm a huge dumbass, take my money after I talk through my ass about cars I have no clue about"

You CAN get legal cars in the states.
You CAN legalize cars that you bring in. You CAN bring them in and you MAY be able to get "it" registered in most States but they are still NOT federally legal by the National Highway Traffic & Safety Adminstration, Department of Transportation, or the Eviromental Protection Agency unless it meets or exceeds their exact and specific requirements. There are indeed ways to be exempt from those requirements but normally only under a temporary visa and the vehicle can not be sold or change owners in any way. Would the Feds come down on a single car owner, highly doubtful. If a business were to sell multiple cars in the US then highly likely. I have seen photos of mint condition R34's being crushed.

I don't need to rely on my car to get me pussy so it seems like we're buying cars for different purposes.
And my reference to importing the cars to Canada was because the import laws to import into Canada are way more strict than importing into the USA. So if they can get them there, then it should be easier to get them here. There's a clause in the Canadian import laws that says any vehicle 15 years or older is legal for import regardless of anything else so that's what people are doing. and the R33s just became legal this year though it'll be another 2 years before the GTR makes its way in there since they introduced the GTx version 2 years prior to the GTR for that generation. Try looking into that and see if there's anything similar here.

You've figured out what i've been saying for years...Canada's exemption is 15 years, ours is 25 -- each year that goes by leads to a newer model you can import. Before you know it R33's then R34's will be exempt. If you register it in Canada then you can transfer the title relatively easy even if it's under the 25 year exemption ;)

man.........what the fuck is the big deal with a nissan coupe?Just about everybody wants what someone else doesn't have and to be differant, the rest just want something to be like everyone else. I don't care what anyone says Skylines are not common here, yeah yeah...3 or 4 may show at meets and you might even know someone down the street with one but they are still rare in the US.

Out of the box is it going to be the best handling car? Nope. With $5k in suspension work is it going to be the best handling car when comparing the total price invested? Still nope. It's something differant that a large amount of the import community admires. Some people like them for it's involvement in racing while others possibly just from movies, either way it's still a well respected car... :2cents:

i was a big R34 fan for a long time.

And that black one that was posted on here with the black and red wheels is SICK.

Didn't know that. They're actually trying to change it to 25 years there as well, might just be a few years away. But there's also more cars on the RIV list for Canada, we're not allowed to have any EVO where here you can.'

and even though iv never driven a skyline......i can almost bet a modded FD could take it on a road course.

or for 80K have Banzai build u a 500hp 20B RX-7,that has top speed of over 200mph

[R32Dragon]

I will be the first to admit that certain movies have bloated the Skyline rep, and that a MKIV TT, Z TT, FD, ect are on par with a GTR.

Contrary to popular belief, some people dont get Skylines to be the fastest cat on the block. Ive owned a ton of Nissans(S's and Z's), and was tired of everything being done. I got mine (as well as most R owners) in order to go in a different direction.

[bafbrian]

Just to take step back a few pages,

About the FTO, there is only one, LEGAL, titled, and etc in the United States.

As for the Skyline, I like the way it looks but, that is too much for a car. I am with Mr.Kidd, I'd get a Porsche.

[Glides]

Try looking into that and see if there's anything similar here.

Well, obviously, by your own post, it isn't harder to get Skylines into Canada. The clause makes it easier. at least for R32's and R33's. Done. As for different purposes, what purpose would you be buying your Skyline for? Performance? Haha riiiiight. No, you would be getting it to impress other Import car owners. Being a "Cool" guy because you have a Skyline.
So while i'm impressing the opposite sex, you are trying to impress guys. Go for it buddy. I'd still take the 930 Turbo and outperform your Skyline in just about every way.

Speedminded. Once you get your car registered, get a vin number on it and a title, it's done. Legalized in the US. It may not stand up under a federal inspection but by then it's too late. Once you get all of that documentation they will not attempt to take your car, especially in Georgia (where i'm assuming we all live). The legal ramifications would not be favorable. You could sue the city, state and who knows who else for them legalizing your car then taking it and crushing it. They will not waste their time on that.

Either way, all of this is just one persons opinion against other peoples opinion because this is all in theory. My brother though, has imported numerous Japanese vehicles. I've seen the headaches he's gone through with his and believe me, it isn't a picnic. Between then container headaches, the open deck transport where 8 of his cars were seized by customs to the paperwork to get them off of the docks, the legalization part of it was by far the most painless part of it.

i think i'll stick to my 510s and 240z's because they draw attention and are completely legal. You guys invest your money into older Nissans and bring back our heritage. Heil Nissan :D

[man]

you would be getting it to impress other Import car owners. Being a "Cool" guy because you have a Skyline.
So while i'm impressing the opposite sex, you are trying to impress guys. Go for it buddy.

Sorry but any guy who buys hot cars simply for their image is trying to impress other guys, that's just facts. If you buy a car to try to impress women you're doing something wrong. Real women don't give 2 shits about cars.

Very true. But they love those girly cars (hmmm... redundancy?)

Just to take step back a few pages,

About the FTO, there is only one, LEGAL, titled, and etc in the United States.

As for the Skyline, I like the way it looks but, that is too much for a car. I am with Mr.Kidd, I'd get a Porsche.

i want a FTO so bad......iv loved them ever since the first Grand Turismo...

how much would it be to make one legal here?

[LeX]

is it worth it for an FTO though? hehe. I admit i like them, but not enough to ever pay to import one for street use

hey,u would see more R34s in america than FTOs

idk,what mitz was smoking not to bring that car to America.....that was one of the best looking FWD imports ever

[rude_lude911]

and even though iv never driven a skyline......i can almost bet a modded FD could take it on a road course.

or for 80K have Banzai build u a 500hp 20B RX-7,that has top speed of over 200mph

Dude, Skylines maybe the shit...but an FD3S and a Toyota Supra will kick the shit out of a Skyline... To me, i personally think everyone were after skylines when 2Fast2Furious came out. That too was what made it so popular here in the states. Everyone wants one cuz of the name "Skyline". U can drop a RB26 in a 240SX and it'll do that same as any other Nissan Skyline R34 GTR, besides it being AWD.

[WHT_EP3]

skyline does look bad ass but for the money buy a supra, RX-7, or a NSX and you'll have money left over to put in it as well. then you'll be able to cream a skyline

[Elbow]

skylines are gay get a mustang walk all over imports lame ass's

First a 240 IS NOT a Skyline, the 240sx is based on the Silvia...TWO completely differant platforms. Sure, you want to attempt to built one then get an S14, the R34 suspension and brakes will bolt up, throw in an RB26DETT...it still doesn't have the same look or handling characteristics as a Skyline of the same year. Skylines can't be compared to any other Nissan, that's all there is to it.

2) What is a NSX going to run? Even a '91 is going to be $20k with 100k miles. Any idea what a '91 Skyline will cost? Maybe $5k shipped on a bad day? Dump $15,000 into an engine and suspension and tell me it won't be as reliable and out handle and perform a $20k NSX. Toyota Supra? lol, find me a decent running Turbo for a decent price then compare that to an R32 or R33's price...

Actually you are wrong. The second major purchase other than a home is a car. Women look at a car as a determination of your worth. Fucked up, but true. You can say that real women don't car about a mans car but you go and pick them up in a busted ass divic with no A/C or a 911 and see which one gets you farther down the road to the golden palace. Thats just facts.

So getting back to reality. If I am going to drop 50 to 80k on a used car, it damm sure isn't going to be something that I have to get legalized, or according to others in the thread, something I will always have to watch over my shoulder with in case the Feds send SWAT to invade my home for my illegal car. I'm going to spend it on something that is A. going to hold it's value a little better, B is easy to sell when I want to, because the market for $50,000 used cars that have the Nissan name isn't large. And C. Something I can get in and drive without having to relearn my driving style to compensate for the other side of the car. Having owned a RHD Fairlady, it's fun for about a month and then it's a pain in the ass.

In the end, it's your money. How you choose to spend it is up to you. Have at it.

Sorry but I have never had a woman turn me down because of my car. Any girl that judges a man based on his money/possessions is no one worth wasting my time on and sure as hell is not a woman.
