The price of skylines in the us

[GTR-Hunter]

Dose it really cost you American guy's 30 to 40k to import a Skyline and is that for R32's or R33's or for both. Cause if I had 30 or 40k in to my R32 I would have one of the nicest Skyline's in Canada. I feel bad for you Skyline lovers on the other side of boarder.

p.s you can delete this tread after I get my answer if you want.

in us, you can only import 96-98 r33s and i dunno exactly how much it costs to meet all NHTSA, DOT and EPA requirements but i guess 30k+ is what ur looking at.

Motorex was charging about $20,000 to legalize them when they were still the approved importer by the govt. Since they closed there have only been spurts of quasi legal importing of Skylines. I saw a Motorex R34 for sale at Park Place in Bellevue WA a couple years back, I think it was a V-Spec II model listed at $160,000. This was because it is just about impossible to find "legal" R34's in the US.

If some group decided to persue the legalization process like Motorex did years ago then i'm sure they could charge whatever they wanted to legalize their cars for sale. But getting the testing done for the R32-R34 GT-R and GTS models would most likely not be worth it. The R33 GTS model testing is the only one that has been done, but I think that you would have to pay a lot to get that info, and whats the point having that info would only allow you to get R33 GTS's legalized. Not a hot ticket item. I still have the edited crash test data from Motorex that the federal govt had to release somewhere on my comp.

So yeah, its generally very expensive to get a Skyline down here, even the state legal (non-federal) Skylines have mark-ups, way more expensive than Canadian Skylines.

Just because you have a year and a half on me doesn't mean you can abuse the rules. I asked you nicely to resize your pic or it would be removed by admin. No need to talk to me like that at all.
