I had the opportunity to drive a well build R34 and 32 skyline while I was stationed in Japan. Yes the car is fun, it's beautiful when maintained (as is any car) and it was cool to "drive a skyline" but they *ARE* just another car. For those of you who just don't understand it, the only reason they are sought after and so damn expensive is because of something called "Exclusivity". Owning a Skyline **In the US** is a novelty that's all the hype about it is. Like people said, I'd much rather dump 20k into my S13 and save the left over 70k I'd save buying a R34 GT-R and have a sick daily, a sexy 240 for track, and a nice steak dinner.

when it comes to a car that doesn't pass federal regulations in terms of safety and emissions, why SHOULD the government care?

well if we can't get a skyline then let's at least try and get SR's, RB's and KA-T's bar'd that would be nice lol

A) perform a legal swap B) buy a legal car. you don't NEED a sr/rb/kat

youre misinterpreting what he means. all he means is that probably 9/10 of the people who are gun ho about this petition wouldnt even be able to purchase one even if it were to be legalized so why does it matter if they vote anyways. ill bet that people who can actually afford a skyline have moved on to something comparable and can care less about legalizing the damn skyline.

This x10000000, if you want awd and turbo you can always buy a Evo, WRX, Celica all trac, dsm, 3000gt vr-4, etc. And heres the best part, they are already here and LEGAL.

Hah, I highly doubt the government gives a fuck what a bunch of forum people have to say.

Bingo

I bet if somehow you get a sweet R34GTR into the US, the price will be upwards of an EVO, and honnestly, the evo 9 MR and evo 10 are comparable, and perfectly legal. Or for the price of an evo 8, you can have a LS1 S13 thats flawless, and still run with them in most corners. Not to mention all the other chassis out there. Even an old fox body can be cut and modified to hold some descent suspension.

Don't be a fanboy, or a hater. Just like cars and have fun!

On the opposite end; I'd like to see someone restore these: (not mine, local cars, neglected)
