I don't think you will beable to...

Canadian law states you can't import any motor vehicle into canada unless if it's 15 years or older.

So the EARLIEST you will beable to import a Skyline R32 GTR into canada will be Oct of 04...and that's making sure the R32 you're importing has a build date on or before Oct of 1989.

In Canada, the car must be 15 years old to import it....period. No legalization is required, except you must prove it is atleast 15 years old.

In the U.S., anything less than 25 years old must be legalized.

Actually, if you want one in Canada, legally....you can....

But you would have to legally import it into the U.S. first. Then, you can legally import it into Canada, because it will be considered a USDM vehicle after Motorex applies for the U.S. title. So it can be done, it's just more expensive than importing it to the U.S.

Why can't this topic be as active as the buy/sell topic?
