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.

The R34 is a dream car indeed, I don't know how it works in the US but if you can get your hands on one without legal headache don't even think twice.

I just read this whole article, and to be honest it doesn't seem worth it to me. The chances of it being legal are slim and would only be a headache to deal with.

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

I have the pleasure of parking next to one every day

I would do it in a heartbeat, but 1000% agree that getting some parts would be an all out nightmare to get replacements for.

We had a pair here last week, talk about dream crushers

ZKraken22 · 06-17-2013, 11:44 PM

sounds like a troll questions to me. Any pic's of the Skyline? I mean with out a doubt i'd take a R34 over my Z34. why wouldn't you?

Vichtz · 06-18-2013, 12:09 AM

I agree. Take it. If its mechanically sound take it. Dream cars don't just pop up often.
Ugh I want an R34 so bad. Take the risk. Whats a gamble if you don't gamble right?

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.

Wonka2581 · 06-18-2013, 05:29 AM

In for pics...

Glambutang · 06-18-2013, 10:28 PM

Will post up some pics later this week, but deal didnt work out, I went with the Z just had that gut feeling :O

Japanjay · 06-19-2013, 12:26 AM

Ask yourself this,

Why did someone with a "R34 GTR" and wanna trade for a car that is easy accessed here in the states? Both are sports cars and one is surely a much better performer than the other. I could understand if it was a 2013 STR8 Jeep or something like that for the need of more room and still wanting something fast, but thid trade doesn't add up from his side. You have way more to gain than he does. I would kinda question his true reason for that, hell there is even less room in the Z and not as fast to boot.

Since you can get R34 GTT in Canada now (and GT-R next year), can you import the car from Canada instead?
