2007 Nissan Skyline GTR

I'm willing to take that challenge.

Ill take that challenge too once its a bit nicer out :)

I was talking to my buddy about importing cars while back, and we figured it would be easiest to just import the skyline here, and then buy a 240sx, and go register the 240sx, and just put the 240sx plates on the skyline. And then when you get pulled over just say you did some conversions. :)

There are plenty of Skylines in America, some in MN even, but to import it legally is very expensive...or so I thought. If I am wrong here, someone let me know. I am sure Reid knows all about it so hopefully he chimes back in soon.
Thanks for the props! Here's the skinny:
You can import a R32 from Canada for pretty cheap now. If you do your own work and have a shipping connection, getting one here wasn't, I mean, isn't that expensive. Again, doing your own work you can get it to pass the smog check pretty easy. My father got our 1978 Caddy to pass MN smog without cats. You will need a tuner (F-Con, PowerFC, MoTec, etc) to detune the 'Line for shitty corn juice gas. After that you are home free. You can register it now because MotoRex did the crash testing of the Chasis. Before they did that you would have a bigger problem. You could have still driven it on the roads but mileage limits and special conditions applied. Some states wouldn't have allowed you to "operate" that beast on state highways or interstates. But that's the story on all race gas :rolleyes:

I was going to buy a 1992 Pulsar GTi-R but then I did a little more research and just to get one street legal would cost $30K alone besides the cost of the car:mad:

It would work, but its still illegal. And on the off chance a cop ever figured it out you'd never see your car again.

Isn't there more then just emissions though? Don't you need to install MPH guages and safety glass?

[JET]

Yeah, I thought you needed to change the windshield because it is thinner?

[Halon]

Now that I think of it, my car in Japan did have safety glass, because the day that we sent it to the junkyard we smashed the windows, and the smashed into those tiny little pieces. So if that hunk of crap had safety glass, I'd think a Skyline would too.

[QUOTE=ju-onDon't you need to install MPH guages and safety glass?[/QUOTE]

I know you don't need MPH gauges. I know of a couple cars that have been imported from canada that have KPH gauges.

[Shotgun!]

As far as MPH guages go...ask Swanny about that:) Freaking Canada car. The windsheild shouldn't be a problem. Look out for the trolls. The net is full of retarded people (Supra or Cavalier owners) that will make shit up. "Skylines run 14s stock..." You know the crap.
