It's only illegal if you don't have the crash test data. Motorex is the only company I know of that does, and it takes 3 copies of the model to test it officially. Assuming he got it from Motorex, or is even more disgustingly rich and got it as well as the three needed for the testing, it is legal.

: : drool : : I love Skylines, GT-Rs even more. I don't know why he put NICO on there, or the Skyline banner. Of course, if he's a mod as you say then it kinda makes sense. I wonder how many times people haven't noticed his Godly car as he drove by?

Who really gives a **** though? It belongs there, and while it does look a little cheesy, for God's sake, it's a REAL GT-R, in the states, it has license to be cheesy as it wants to be.

Debadged always looks good, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying, a real GT-R can be as cheesy as it freakin' wants to be, cause it's... a GT-R.

hey, one of my friends saw an r32 around here the other day, i think there might be one here in lincoln nebraska. i know my friend wasn't lying either though, because i talked to someone else who had seen it. i wish i could see it. it might just be a cheesy body kit, but i doubt it. he said it sounded like a skyline too.

To those you had been wondering.They are completely legal in the US IF you import via MOTOREX (who crash tested the car got EPA/DOT serct etc)

Cost=Cost of car in Japan, plus $17,000 for Motorex.

Woahhh...I saw that Skyline at Nopi last time. Damn it was sweet when he was riding into the parking lot. Damn, you wanna trade for my dad's truck or something? Its a Toyota truck, really really rare.

well rex does have a nice skyline, he prolly has the NICO stickers posted on the car, cause then he can write anything related to the skyline, as advertising for NICO (hey, you gotta get your custom exhaust written off somehow)

yeah? go on.......okay so if you get it thru motorex it's legal? cuz they have crash data? how do they know where you got it? what if you said you bought it from motorex? what if you bought it from someone else that bought it from motorex originally? what does he have is registered and insured as? sorry about all the questions, i just wanna understand.

also in the classified ads here in Reno, NV in the local paper, there is a blue R33 GTR for sale.....funny thing is it is in Fernly(tiny little town) but it is sooooooo nice looking, NOTHING cheesy about it. the guy is some sort of teacher for the military stationed part time in japan(or something like that). he has his registered and insured as a Altima. go figure. and here is the kicker....he has 7 RB26's in his garage! how he does it and all that, i have NO idea....but i envy him.

The R34 goes for between 75-90 g'sThe R33 goes for between 50-65 g'sThe R32 goes for between 35-50 g'sThe difference in price all depends on the mileage and the condition of the car.And Motorex is the only place that can legally import the cars... They have all the documents and crap needed from the DOT, they give it a special VIN and as for insurance...I think they consider it as a Kit Car...This is where you state the value of the car, and you have to have prove that is what the car is worth. I might be wrong on that part though...

35-17 = 18k....you can get an R32 gts-t for cheaper than that90-17 = 73k....do R34s even cost this much new??

Motorex stinks, they rape American customers because they can.
