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

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.

Any r33 is legal, thats they only skyline.

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.

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

Do it yourself through Batfa.

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

And anyone who says they cost more is clearly wrong.

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.

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.

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.

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"

That's what the car costs. Anything else is legalization.

I know, that is why I said 33s are legal. Also 33s are the only ones listed on the NSTHA i think thats it.

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.

There you go! 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.

but id NEVER pay $70-80000 for one. Id rather own a Porsche 911

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.'

yea,i know its rare in the US and all that jazz

but if im gonna drop 50K on a used car...it better have some wow factor.

if someone that knows nothing bout cars saw a supra,a RX-7 and a skyline....they would like the the skyline the least.

just like at my school,theis guy has a 00 cobra,thats looks pretty good...yet everyone likes my slow celica way more.

i mean fast is great,but i have to have those sport cars lines to go with it

Ionno, when that black R34 GT-R rolled into the Varsity quite a few people dropped their pants to it. If it would have fit in the exhaust I would have hit it. :tongue:

It's only because it's different. It's Japan's Mustang.

I'm getting confused. It's like everyone is more concerned about what other people think of them rolling in the car than how much they like it themselves. Why is everyone making references to wow factor and what other people think? Who cares? I would love to have a R34 simply because I really like them. Am I alone here?

Just about anyone that has bought a skyline here got it based on looks...doubt you can say everyone has driven one hard enough to say they got it based on experience with them. ;)
