I have all import paperwork and NHTSA DOT EPA approval letters. Us specs was the owner of the car untill i purchased it in 2009. i am stationed at seymour johnson AFB north carolina but i am currently deployed to bagram af Afghanistan. only for a couple more months than i get to be back home driving my baby!

Welcome! Also check out the GTR/Skyline Forum for in-depth R33 chats. One of our mods, Golddigger, has an R33 GTR so he can answer a lot of your questions.

Enjoy the forums and post pics of your ride! Oh, and regarding your legalization paperwork, you can help us continue building the archive of information on myths and facts regarding the RI/legalization process. You should hit Golddigger up with pictures of your paperwork and approval letters.

Yes, she is a pit/boxer mix. She's the sweetest dog you would ever meet. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
