From recent research I did, the R32 and R33 skylines are able to be brought in. DOT laws are EXTREMELY strict with getting cars over here. It costs a shit load to do also. If the car isn't already registered in the states, you are going to be waiting approx 4 months to get it, the RI has only 120 days to get it modified to meet DOT regulations. As for race/show use, it is easier to get here, but you CAN NOT drive on US roads/highways. You are also forced to register and have inspected quite often over here. As for this particular skyline, I dont believe will be able to get through boarders due to the R34 engine installed. The R34 has been brought over here, but hasn't been put on the "list" of cars easily brought over. You can do some research on DOT's and NHTSA websites. Its a bitch to get any other car here.

The only place that has the trade secrets currently is JK motors in Baltimore, who actually got subcontracted to do the work for Motorex.

ya, I gave up looking at all the legal stuff after realizing how much of a pain in the ass it really is to get a car over here. Rather spend the money on something that is new and actually worth the money....now for show/race purpose, then it would be nice.

so why couldnt you buy that....have a canadian drive it down here...and leave it here.....then get all the 240sx vins and stuff on it? or whatever car you want i guess?

I miss seeing that car around, i remember racing it in the stealth lol... i knew i would lose to but to see it go flying by was well worth it...Werd, the fun of being a young ricer. That was the first time I met Brett or Dave. It was crazy to see 2 Supra's in Fargo together.
