S15's are legal in the states as soon as someone brings one in.Research the... I think its called the Show and Display Act. It allows cars that were never sold in america and do not have an american counterpart to be imported based on technological significance or some other things. You have to fill out two forms and have them passed through congress. This act has allowed 959s, XJ220s, Z1s, Mclarens, and several other cars into the country despite the fact that they were never sold. The biggest catch is your only allowed to put 2500 miles on them a year. Theres some other stuff too, you should search the internet for information :)

Coming from a man with a quote like "Well, you can cram it with walnuts, ugly!" I'm not very insulted. : )

That is incorrect Saphix, additionally, cars like you're listing is the fact that they must be proven to be a rare or limited production model. A standard production model cannot be brought over for that purpose.

About allowing the 959's...umm....I think you may want to research that, ESPECIALLY on the 959's! I am almost positive that car is banned from US shores. And those that own them...AHEMMM...biLLa..AHEMMM...gAytEs...ahem,ahem....do not display it as public information. And I have heard of only a few individuals that own these awesome machines. BUUUUUUT thats a whole different topic within itself.

Just make sure you use the door around back at midnight and call to an outside line from a designated payphone that will have instructions taped under the park bench next to it.

1994 R32 GT-R, any color you'd like, less than 35k miles on the engine. It won't be titled as a GT-R, it will be titled as a kit car, I would technically be selling you a kit car. You would insure it at whatever value you placed in it. I'm not sure on the laws in Cali, but every other place I've checked, checks out. I'm also looking into becoming a RI and legalizing the same way as Motorex, but I haven't finalized that yet. I like my way because it allows for huge amounts of legal horsepower. : ) Email me if you want more information. A R33 GT-R would be about 40-45k, A R34 GT-R would be about 60-65k.

Daunttless, I been asking around to legalizing GT-R in california, and lowest I got so far is 10-15k just to make it legal.. 22k for GT-R that's great deal!!
