    Dear all importers of U. S. I am a Japanese and I am here to tell you IMPORTANT thing. Some of these (in fact many) GT-Rs are stolen in Japan. I have seen more than 5 GT-Rs stolen just last month. All the owners are in search, but many are already sent to U. S. to be sold for high price.
    Please, I beg you, please make sure the GT-R you are trying to buy is truly legal. I do not want to see sad owners in Japan anymore.

      @battosaijenkins946 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Donut Media, hey man you left out some important facts that everyone should know. Firstly, Registered Importers or (RIs) are very expensive at least in California. While people say that 25 years is some arbitrary number picked in the 80s, one of the other factors was that 25 was a good number to prevent vehicles made specific to one region not affect the sales of another. They thought after 25 years no one would care essentially...
      What's even stranger, is that Canada has a 15 year restriction instead of USA's 25. On top of that especially in California the DMV requires something called a 'Compliance Letter' which is a simple statement on a letterhead from the Manufacturer stating the VIN of the vehicle and that it simply, '...complies with the Standards and Emissions of your state... ".
      The idea is many carheads will now import JDM only vehicles to Canada instead and then import it to United States. This would save hundreds if not thousands as opposed to going directly to a RI but the downside is it could take longer because of the documents you need (bill of sale, importation documents), again it's perfectly legal to do but very obscure indeed.
      Lastly, many Manufacturers do NOT want to produce this 'compliance letter' even though it's every consumers legal right to do so, and manufacturers are supposed to do so upon request, at least for Honda/Acura division. I personally had to go back and forth for 4 months before I got one, while others I've heard got them no problem asap in other states. Anyways, thought anyone who was curious into imported vehicles would like to know~

    The 25-year law is to protect the other manufacturer from being overflown with outsider cars and not selling theirs anymore! Imagine removing that law, the next day probably 100K R34 would drop in the USA! It's the same thing in Canada! Only Quebec has 25 the rest of the country is 15!

      Because Quebec is a p.o.s province which is run by a bunch of communist basturds who spend 75 000 000$ million dollars of our tax money annually on some stupid thing they call the French language police rather than fixing our crumbling and I really mean crumbling roads and yes they do protect steeler ships
      Bottom line if you're a car guy you should consider moving to Western Canada Quebec is not the place for you

      Or he riced an R32 to make it look like an R34? Or, more probable, he just illegally registered it, happens allot, Florida is great for that abuse. Or its from motorex, its what fast and furious used, they illegally imported R34's that were later legalized, I think there is 10-20 legal R34's in the USA because of them, or its from Canada. Or its a show car (not legal on the road). I'm not calling you a liar, but that sounds exceptionally improbable, sounds like he was lying. 'He changed some lights and other stuff and BAM legal car'.

      $18,500. It needed a repaint and a replacement Wing. Wing was 350, Full Repaint 3k, $750 for 4 Michelle Pilot A/S 3 Plus's. So $22,600 for a pretty much stock and clean example with 100k miles. Needs a new sound system though. The $18,500 includes all 100k mile servicing so it has a new timing belt, fluids etc. AC Still blows cold on old R12 but I have the R134a fitting too. All told when I have it exactly the way I want it I'll probably have close to 30k into it. I obviously could have stayed cheap but I want it to be right.

    I hate it when normies say the only reason why the R34 GTR is illegal is because it can outrun a cop car. Like ok, lets not forget about cars these days making crazy horsepower numbers that can probably leave a cop at .01 seconds.

      Doesn’t make 0 sense, at the time the Skyline was being built, you could perfectly buy a Lamborghini Diablo completely legal to drive in the US, and if they tell you that is because the Diablo is not faster than a Skyline, then you are talking with the kind of “special” person that probably believes that Supras make 1500 whp from factory.

    i was at the DMV and I was talking to a guy that got his imported R32 emission legal in CA and was going through the process. he told me his R32 had 100k miles on them. I asked him why so high because I've checked the importer companies sites and they're always very low mileage like 10-30k and he told me that when the importers bring them over they'll mess w/ the odometer. that's pretty believable because how can a 25'ish year car only have 10-30k miles!

      Stevie Nguyen honestly the R34s are probably going to end up costing six figures when it hits 2024. I could see them going for $100-120k easy because everyone and their mother wants one. The R32s I see cost between 20-35k now and the listings for R33s I see are around 50k for the GTR ones. So take that and add another 10k for California being shitty

    There are clean r34’s in Japan in storage right now going for 3-7grand. And they will store them and take care of them until they are ready for import. Now if you want a clean r34gtr than I bet you will pay a premium for sure but there are warehouses full of skylines ready to roll. Now is the time to jump on them while you can still pick up a clean r32 or r34 for less than 10k.
