  <description>Japan to U.S. value differs, you're always going to have the shipping cost factor.Average R33 GTST price in the U.S. right now is $15,000 with no title.  $12,000 or even $11,000 is not bad at all if the car is in good condition.  I'm suspecting it may possibly be a midnight purple R33 in TX that you are looking at  If so and the price is lower at what you say it is I wouldn't pass it up.  Like I tell everyone, have the VIN run if you know a cop really well.  If not ask around for someone that may be able to get the VIN run for you.  Make sure it's not already registered somewhere or stolen.Having one not titled right now is not such a bad idea due to the ICE and CARB operation going on in Cali right now.  No paper trail.</description>

  <description>Quote, originally posted by GooDy151 My bad! It's turboGTST rb25detand he willing to go  $11kIs your GTR 15k OTD with registered Yes, it was.  Registration, tax, everything.  And yes, I live in Japan.  I thought my profile said that, but upon checking it, I see it doesn't exactly say Japan.  Sorry bout that.But, still, an 11k GTS25-t for 12K is way to much for a 1996.  Seriously, those things go for well under the 10K mark over here.I would never buy a Skyline in the states after living over here simply becuase I know what the actual value of the car is here.  I have been over here for over 8 years, combined (3 in the military and 5 as a civilian) and have seen the prices for non GT-Rs drop a lot in the last few years.  If I had a car over here and it was eligible for import, I would still be hesitant simply because of the cost of bringing it into compliance.   It would probably be more than the car's actual value.  Now, if the car was over the 25 year mark and didn't need all that extra crap thrown on top of it, then, quite possibly, I would import one.Now days, you can pick up an R32 GTS-t Type M with quite a few mods on it for a little over $3,000 and it's in pretty decent shape.  The R33 GTS25-t sells for about $4,000-$5,000 depending on condition, possibly a bit more, but hardly ever over the $10k mark, unless it has some serious modifications to the engine, body, suspension and chassis.Besides, I am thinking the wow factor of the Skyline has been waning in recent months, so it may not be as much of an icon car that it used to be...especially a GTS25-t.</description>

  <description>He's in Japan so he has no issues with the car.You may try some gray market way to get it registered but honestly I would suggest walking away.  Cali is no place to gamble on a registration.</description>

  <description>If it helps you to decide anything, I bought my 1995 GT-R V-Spec last year for 15K out the door.  It was a one owner car that was mostly stock.  You're looking at a non turbo GTS for 12K.  Not worth it.  I wouldn't pay more than 5K for one over here, but considering the market value in the states, 12K for a GTS is way to much.And, as TMS pointed out, being that it's probably not a fed legal car (although it is eligible for import and can be modded/converted) it would be a lot of money to spend for a long time of looking out for the man.If you like the car and want to do it, then it's ultimately your call, just be sure you read up on all the information about owning a grey market vehicle before you purchase.You can find a good article by clicking here to learn more about what you could be getting into.</description>

  <description>walk away.It's not a fully legal import. At best you could sneak it through a state registration and look over your shoulder for life, at worst, it will languish in your garage like a refugee unable to get papers.</description>
