StickThatClutch Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 why? too expensive?←More like they can't legally import you an R33 or R34 even though they are nice enough to provide you with a quote for services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StickThatClutch Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 that sucks. I always thought and read that they were the only people who import skylines.←There are a couple of companies that have imported skylines. The problem is that the way they register them doesn't really make it fesiable for one to keep it as a normal car. Thus, that's why there are so few around. Motorex for a while imported them as "dealer" cars but you can only register it like that (smog exempt) for 2 years after that there is no why to register the car. I know there is a company in Florida that disassembles skylines and reassembles them through a loophole in the kit car law but it isn't 50 state legal.Peter can tell you that there are a bunch of restrictions up in Canada as well. Thus, why he got the specific model and year of skyline that now graces his garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stig Posted August 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 You guys are all welcome to check it out when I come back to Vancouver. I'd love to drive it through the rockies during a bout of good weather. I've always loved GTRs for as long as I could remember, especially after I drove one in Japan. Dan's right, it's my dream to own one. Stephen is bang on, there are restrictions in Canada as to the Skyline you can get - in particular, it has to be 15 years or older, so only 1989 and 1990's are legal right now. It took me a while to find the one I wanted.I'll definitely post more pics once it arrives here. The wait is killing me! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaica2G Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Not sure about the R32, but #1 fast #2 MADDDD engine potential #3 the drivesystem is an off the chain AWD system. Think of the S60R with 95% front and 5% rear until slippage. Now imagine a car with a system the other way around. All go until slipping in turns :-DI don't exactly have all my facts down like I used to, but hey, it has potential to be one of the greatest all around cars on the road.Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
