No offense taken Dave. I'm in no state to take offense. But I am curious as to what makes you think you can't get an R34 or any Skyline into the states? Motorex imported them for quite a few years. There are still a lot here. The 01 R34 and 97 R33 that Chris has were both imported through them before they got shut down for faking the "legalization" of the R34 (they based it off the crash tests they did on the R32's and R33's which were much different then the R34).

Mind you, Chris brought is R33 over here in like 02 I think and his R34 a year or two later, bought the R34 after his 2nd or 3rd tour. I could be wrong on the years, but I assure you there are plenty of skylines running around the states and most are legal.

There are a few that are brought in through Canada and Florida that have fake titles and JDM vins and are not really legalized, but I know a few guys with those who have never has any real trouble. Though they could if it came down to it.

If you don't believe me check it out for yourselves. There are more than one forums dedicated to Skyline owners and their cars here in the states. Hell, I've seen more then one on the road. Especially while stationed in Washington. I cruised to an Evo/STi/Nissan meet with 3 Skylines. 2 R32's and one R33.

(Let it be noted, I am not arguing, I don't want another ban, just stating what I have seen with my own two eyes.)

I won't be bringing anything to a meet in Feb, if all goes right I'm hoping to be getting ready to ship off to Japan for 60-90 days. Besides, his cars are both with him down at Fort Bragg.

One of the Skylines I know of, believe this is Chris' buddy...it's an R33 in Texas, this car will be down at Deals Gap in late May when I go down with them. I'll make sure to get plenty of pics of all the Skylines. There's also suppose to be a JDM FD, Toyota Chaser and maybe even a Pulsar GTi-R...Turco, if you love Sentra's like you say you must know what those are...no?

I don't know about getting them into the US, but I have seen quite a few legal skylines from NJ to FL and over in NV

Probably what I'd do

I've heard of people picking up junk 240sx's and rebadging the vins from those and registering the skylines as 240's and I've also heard of importing the car somewhat apart in separate pieces and registering it as a "kit" car.

ajay, i have to say your posts in general are way too long winded. Be a little more concise.

Vegas, i agree, those are pricey for tails.
