No announcement yet.
This is what a 100% legal Skyline GT-R looks like (and costs!)

Supply and demand. There's a limited supply, and the demand dictates the price! Well, the government technically makes most of that price what it is, due to all the necessary modifications that were done... but people will pay it. We'll probably get flooded with them as they become easier to import, starting in 2014. Of course, the OBD1 era begins around then as well. The importation laws may change due to the increased emissions controls installed on those vehicles. That would be sad.
A LOT of the Skylines I see around have FL tags. Most are GTS-Ts. I've only seen one or two real GT-Rs. But yeah, I agree... the other Japanese sportscars of the era are almost as uncommon. I see more Bentleys on the road than I do Supras, Skylines, RX-7s, or NSXs.

You guys know the R32 and R33 are already allowed in the U.S. right? The R34 is still off limits for import in full, you can import an R34 disassembled and have it titled as a "kit car".
Not only does this apply to the Nissan Skylines of sorts, but also the Silvias, Toyota Cavaliers, and various others.

Originally posted by deevergote View PostNo, they are not allowed in the US. Only a low-level R33 was used for crash test data, and it was determined that the information obtained was inadequate for use in importing any other model. I believe even the model that was crashed is no longer allowed. No R32, R33, or R34 is currently allowed to be imported for street use in the US. Only those that were already allowed are legal, and many of those are being seized and destroyed as they are discovered as being less than legal.
