2014. Year of the R32 and S13?

[coreyh]

And seeing as im an up and coming tech getting my smog license, I don't want to do anything even close to illegal. they'd pull my licensing and ase certs faster then I could blink.

[fliprayzin240sx]

But the one thing I've never figured out is why can't people "export" their grey market cars to Canada and then bring it back?

[coreyh]

because its still the same import laws from Canada to usa no?

[KiLLeR2001]

Import to Canada at year 15, store it in Canada for 10 years, import it from Canada to USA at year 25. Win/win?

[singlecamslam]

NEVER never...ever in california.... this STAR shit and this communist state never gonna happen.

Sure you can probably register it and get it state legal but it wont be federally legal. You're not that far better off than all state legal grey market cars in the US right now. Constantly watching your back when ICE decides to come knocking at your door like what happened to a few GTR owners a few years back.

This. /thread
I wonder though.. how are the R31 owners in California doing it?

There's not shitloads of stock unmolested GTR's floating around Japan either. and those that are around you will be paying quite a premium for. It's been like that since they got to around 20 years old and they're only going to get more expensive as the Japanese are quite fanatical about their classics.

Here you go, i meant the Nismo GTR

"The Nismo R32 GT-R was sold as a homologation special for racing starting February 22,1990. 560 total cars were produced, only 500 were sold to the public.The 500 total cars, and the fact that it was meant as a base for the race cars meant that it was a perfect candidate for the Show or Display exemption. Show or Display was a rule that allowed for certain historically or technologically significant vehicles to be imported to the US on a permanent basis without meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards. The rules allow for the cars to be driven up to 2500 miles per year, but they still need to meet EPA standards. " - GTRUSA

But being approaching 25 years now, the EPA standards will not apply.

Actually, I'm showing 40,148 unique VIN's for the BNR32. Not too far off from your number.

[QuicksilverFX]

psst, some are already in the states...

[Miguelone]

That's sitting on a trailer, without plates and could be anywhere...

[240Cali]

ya id jst buy one here in the states and go ape shit on a build. That's not gonna be until 2014 till the law really passes until then i'll finish my S14 ^.^ , the day CA dmv lets me legally register an R32 is the day I go on a rampage for one until then I am def not spending 15-20k on a non op track car -.-

[RHDAmerica]

Very soon we will be taking orders to bring in the very first 50 state and federally legal R32 GTR's, 300zx, and a few others... The R32 GTR CANNOT enter U.S. soil prior to the month and year it was produced which was Aug of 89... So nothing sooner than Aug of 2014 can be shipped over... However the price will go up quite a bit as the date approaches...

Currently we can bring in the MK3 supra, FC, R31, Laurel, AE86, S12 and the 88 S13 coupe just to name a few...

We are very knowledgeable in the importing game and we can take a lot of the headache out of it for you... We have very reasonable prices and a HUGE database of never ending cars... We've made a lot of people proud owners of JDM cars and we can do the same for you...

Can you guys get special interior parts for RHD vehicles or do you just import cars?

We don't specialize in that, however we can source parts and have them shipped in one of our containers... PM me what you are looking for...

Thank you

[SupaDoopa]

I'm already in the works with RHDAmerica to get a R32 GTR. Please, no one steal my wheels, doe.

[KiLLeR2001]

RHDAmerica be very careful when doing business with the above individual. He says he wants an R32 GTR, but what he really wants is to do is steal the OEM factory GTR wheels.

I'll gank 'em and sling 'em. Be careful! My money is all printed freshly in my basement on my stolen printer and paper.

[RHDAmerica]

Lol you guys are ruthless.

[SupaDoopa]

Not ruthless; just in love.

[moto21]

Hopefully we can all get one in a couple years when there are lots here.

But when I get one I'm doing the R324 conversion ImageUploadedByTapatalk1372557268.365179.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1372557279.898234.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1372557290.848075.jpg

And if I have the extra dough swap in an r34 rb26/30 beast
ImageUploadedByTapatalk1372557526.748872.jpg



This is my dream

[RHDAmerica]

^^^ Funny you mentioned this... we are already in the works to start offering this as an upgrade... painted to match and ready to go.

[tricky_ab]

I haven't been looking but I'm curious. How many people out there are going to spend the money on proper grade cars, and not the R grade stuff that seems to be in abundance?

Not a bad way to spend $30K+ on that engine...I've only seen a handful of those in a few of my GTR magazines.

[SupaDoopa]

I'd personally keep the R32 body. I'm partial to it. I think each model should keep it's initial look. Then again, I'm biased. R32 was my favorite. D:

[future]

Only heard of a rb30/26 still haven't seen one online

A lot of times, that is the case with R grade cars, but not always... I've seen it be as little as being modified only... The R grade is just a reference... Doesn't always mean they have been in an accident... I know a lot of sites and auctions claim this, but it's not always true...

[feito]

omg why ruin a perfect and sleek r32 body witha fat 34 front? The perfect, best looking car out there about to become legal to import, but to each his own i guess. I know i wont be able to afford one for at least a decade or two lol

Raw brokerage has some on their site now just bottom ends of rb30 and they set them up I believe. I mean they are very expensive but if it is already has a rb26 or rb25 you can put either head on I prefer rb26. I mean it most likely won't happen but if I ever came across the money

Also there is a video on YouTube of one that some guy put together here in the states

I found a couple builds but they're on U.K. And Australian forums plus the only came in the Australian version of the skyline r31 with a SOHC head so they're very uncommon

[ILoveJDM]

if anyone here is seriously interested in picking up a skyline when they are legal, register on gtr-canada. There are always early model stuff being sold for good pricing on the marketplace and you are able to check out the car in person before you put money on it.

[RHDAmerica]

^^^ Bad idea, those cars are all registered in Canada already and you most likely won't be able to obtain the original de-registration papers from Japan or the customs clearance papers...

Not trying to be mean to you, so please don't think that... I'm just trying to keep people out of harms way...
