The purple-ish one is owned by a guy named Colin. He's a total dick. Also owns a Silver Sti with supposedly somewhere around 600hp, but it's slow as balls and he says he'll only race for $40k... which is beyond retarted.
The blue one is owned by a 22 or 23 year old. He has the White Sti in the background of Colin's Skyline. He races Porsche GT3 Cup cars professionally. Name's Leh Keen. Another kid around here has a black R-32, but I've only seen him racing it at the local 8th mile strip - never got pictures. No, I don't know where, or how, they got them, or who they got them through. All I know is they are both legal, and neither Colin or Leh paid over $70,000. Colin's is stock, and Leh's just recently dyno'ed 530hp with a few mods. Both draw bigger crowds than Jesus himself could. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Both Skyline are hot, but those gold rims match the blue perfectly!
Btw, can anyone tell me why R34's in the US are hard to import? I live in the EU and you can buy one at the dealer if the dealer imported them.. But since Nissan stopt building them in 2002 they are hard to get.. |

It's nice to see a stock Skyline, especially in purple. The blue/gold is so overdone.

I prefer the stock body kit rather than that one on the blue one.
It's not that they don't meet the US standards, it's that they have to be tested and proven to meet the standards but from what I know the US government makes that a very hard and expensive excerise. All imports must also meet Australian standards also but our government is much much easier (less red tape not referring to the standard itself) and cheaper to do that so once the car gets passed we got tons of them and well priced. |
|
I thought places like RB Motoring (and that other place, can't think of the name off the top of my head) had to do something to the bumpers and the exhaust before they could sell them? Maybe it was just California laws or something.

Yeah probably, most/many countrys require some modifications (including Australia) but thats not a proper reason the high price and red tape. I feel the US just wants to keep these imports coming in only under a very small rate, I may be wrong as I don't know the specifics.

The real reason is t3h US are scared of t3h GTR!
![]() Honestly though that blue one is very nice. Reminds me of "Kismo's" GTR that is on the interweb. |

Woaaa, now I know why PD thought it was worth putting in the Midnight Purple III version in GT4.
|

RB from what I hear is gone.
I think I remember an article where he reported that the R32s and R34s meet the same crash safety standard as the R33 which landed him in some fines. Now, from that, the R34s and R32s are said to be illegal from here-out. |
|
I've read about a "work around" where you can have the engine and the rest of the car shipped over seperatly and then assemble it over here and it is considered a kit car.
|

I didn't take the photo's. Leh - owner of blue R-34 - took them. I believe he has a Rebel XT, but not sure. He takes some nice ass pics, though.

i think i know where the blue one came from, odd as it may seem. I will give a location of the car
the two car are right below and above eachother. http://unreal-imports.com/id30.html Apparently both paid about 55k and the blue one came with 480hp. Don't ask how i knew where that was lucky guysanyways, thats where the cars came from Might i also be so bold as to say that the black one you saw might be up there too? PS: the cars are 3rd and 4th down
