i know that someone has a 92 skyline a real one. i dunno what model. it is not street legal though they enver converted it. i think it might be teh white one someone mentioned above.
a guy i know has fiernds in the army over there so supposedlyhe can ship it over here for 500 dolalrs as opposed tothousands through an importer. then oyu have to legalize it: change windsheild bumper check emmisions i think there is something else.

www.j-garage.com to get these cars you have to have an importer i think. feul imports is one in tampa but they charge an arm and a leg...

 

let's not get into another "importing a JDM car thread". There have been too many of these lately....and too many people spouting off incorrect info.

Wanna buy a USED SKYLINE: Go see Motorex or RBMotoring

Wanna Import a car for street use: FORGET IT.

Actually....there is a way.Not to start this whole thing up again (not that i was around for the 1st one.)but if u know the right person u can get just about w/e car u want for the right amount of dough. I know a guy who was willing to ship a runing..let me repeat RUNNING S13 from japan for $5000. Since then he said something went wrong in recent ship-overs with some other guy so he said he wasnt doin it for a while.This is the same guy i saw with a freakin container at his shop..and when he opened it up..there was like 10 Type-R front end conversions with the suspension and the wheels..and a shit load of motors..funny thing was the whole left side of the container was empty..or lets just say dark..cause all i heard was a car ignition..and then a "nismo" logo..and there she was...r32. After squeezing info out of him he finnaly let me know..that with a dealer or transporter tag..its all good..no matter if its left-hand right-hand or center drive!..u will be covered..with insurance. :o

I also found out one more thing that might come as a suprise...**hint**The Carribean**hint**..but that info is for more reasearch..or at least till i get my hands on a 94' 323 GT-R

 

Carl, I followed that GT300 and another Skyline...don't know what model it was...across the HF Bridge a couple of weeks ago. The second one looked similar to the GT300 but I couldn't find a badge on it anywhere...other than Skyline. They pulled in to the Sleep Inn on Ulmerton Rd by the Airport. I was next them, in front of them and behind them for about 10-15 minutes. Tried my damndest to get excited but it just wouldn't happen. IMHO, the picutres look much better than the cars did. I even tried to get them to race the work F-150 but they must have been skurred.

 

2 things:

One....it is not illegal to bring the car over as parts (that's how most arrive in the USA), but it is ILLEGAL to register them if they HAVEN'T been CONVERTED.

As far as the "Dealer Plate" goes, you are correct. You CAN drive the car with that, BUT the insurance is the "Dealerships", not yours....and if you get caught (becuase using a dealer tag to circumvent the NHSTA and EPA is ILLEGAL), than the car will be impounded, crushed, and forever gone. The Dealership will ALSO loose there Dealers license in the STATE OF FLORIDA.

Carribean? Not as easy as you think.

..lol...RiceRockets right..im not gonna lie...but hey...i never said there wouldnt be a downside to such a good thing .

If its too good to be true...it probably is.

 

Here is a pic of the guy's car (Marc from Defcon) who put the turbo in my Mercedes (the car in my sig). The Skyline is street legal in Indiana, where he now lives...

 

Very nice!

 

Z Feaver has a Skyline..

 

JuicyJ saw the same guy last week. Was an older white guy driving it?
