Should i trade my z for a r34 gtr?

You have so many r32's in canada because your country lets you import in without and mods at 15 yrs old. Here in the USA it is 25 yrs old.

I'd rather keep the Z only because I won't have to worry about feds, the possibility of it being impounded, fanbois, etc.

x2

also, having such a rare car is awesome and also an awesome headache. Have to have a dd, not a good idea to drive something like that everyday, accidents, vandalism, theft etc. Also, better have a garage for it. If damage, getting parts etc is $$$. Too many headaches, better off with an R35.

If you are going to trailer it to the track or show then go for it.

The R33 was "allowed"... As a lie, they said it was a modified 240 or something when doing the crash tests, then TSHTF and the realized it was a lie and that R33 thing was recalled as well. I have a friend who is in the ICE, he LHAO and said he'd tow any Skyline just for shitz, BUT he'd try to not have it crushed because he kinda likes cars.

Definitely post a picture if you test that bad boy out, it would just suck if you go through the process only to learn you cannot keep the car

You're from Canadia, you don't count

NHTSA has determined that the R33 Model Nissan GTS and GTR ("Skyline") passenger cars manufactured between January 1, 1996 and June 30, 1998 are eligible for importation and has assigned vehicle eligibility number VCP-32 to those vehicles.

That is the most current information. I even posted a link a few posts back. Was original tacked under VCP-7, but now there a was a huge review a few years back and the new rule is what I posted. I can actually post a link on the transcribed comments and conclusions on the review and acceptance of the certain year R33's if needed. Very difficult to follow and pretty much a waste of time though. If the NHTSA states that those are legal with a tremendous amount of mods needed to conform, then ICE kinda has to follow that. Whether or not they do in that instance, that is what attorneys are for in court later. No different than a police office can arrest and throw your *** in jail for what he seems fit, but you can walk in front of the judge later and get it thrown out.

Seriously Op do you really have to ask? I'll jump on it in a heart beat but show some pictures of your z and the r34 for good measure.
