It hurts knowing I'll never have an R34 GTR. By the time

Get an R34 now and put an R32 body kit on it

they were played out and boring 10 years ago

cant believe people still lust over them

>>14175670
Just buy a fucking r32 or r33
Or get the fuck off the skyline dick already

>>14175670
Just get an R32 or R33 a few years from now once the novelty of actually being able to own a skyline has worn off and their prices go down.

1. Buy two now
2. Store them over there
3. Ship over when legal
4. Burn one to the ground at jdm car meet.
5. Ls swap the other and dd

R34 a shit

They never were never are going to be cheap

R33 for life.

>>14175670
is it true that a skyline must be 20 years old, registered as an antique, and only driven 2000 or less miles per year to be considered legal?

>>14175710
No

R32 is OG and best.

>>14175712
why are they illegal in the US and what do you have to do to make them legal?

>>14175722
>why are they illegal in the US
25 year law.
>what do you have to do to make them legal?
Wait until they're 25 years old.

>>14175721
because ur car will get impounded if you ever get pulled over

>>14175725
>americans cant have cars under 25 years old imported
o i m laffin

>>14175721
there are laws that prevent the import of the car. it doesn't matter what you do to it if you can't bring it over to the states in the first place.

>>14175670
im pretty sure the hype will die down after 10 years or so... i blame fast and furious and gran turismo for most sports car hype

There's a few in the States, but most of the time when people try to make them street legal they get crushed.

Paul Walker had one in his private collection.

>>14175751
Nah, you can import it. You can't drive it on public roads, but you can import it. Thanks Bill Gates!

>>14175670
TFW I live in Aus and own an R34 GTR as they are fairly common over here. I can tell you the grass is never greener/never meet your heroes. They are a nice car, but 15 years old now on average and from factory are slower than late model evo's and sti's. Also im envious of the R35 GTR's much nice and faster car but worth double second hand and up to 3 times new. R34's still have a timeless 'street cred' about them however.

>>14175734
Their government strikes again.
Remember when the American govt banned specific japanese imports so their local manufacturers had less competition and made more profits, but they had to get bailed out anyway?

No I don't. Refresh us on this anon.

lol dis gon be gud

>>14175851
I agree. However it comes to an interesting decision when shopping for cars like the 34R which are approx 60k AUD minimum for a decent non specialty model when you can get a very fast, better equipped, much newer car for the same money as that 15 year old Nissan. Similarly, the AE86 corolla are in a similar situation approximately 12k AUD for a nice "street cred" one. For that money you could pick up an S15 Silvia, which is again a much faster, better equipped car.

mint condition r34 gtr around 35k english monies.

but to be fair if your posting about it your not making it happen.

Every time the Subject of GT-Rs being banned in the US comes up i always hear the following:

>they banned it cuz it too fast fo da po-lice
>they banned it cuz it wud outsell corvettes and vipers and shake da market
(just ignore the supra that was sold in the US and still got discontinued)

Don't get me wrong though i like these cars as much as the next guy but there were other cars that got banned that weren't even that extreme.

>RS2 Avant
I sure hope i can import a RS2 Avant after 25 years...

>time they're legal here the selling prices will be astronomical
Will they? Do you think the R34 will still stand up in 2025 when you can pick up an R35 for next to nothing..

>>14175670
>r34
Wow the 2ndmost meme r3x and you want it?

Get a R32 GTR, its lighter, faster and imho looks alot nicer
r33's are all raped dont go near them

>>14175835
This.

in all honestly my 15 year old dunnydoor and failcon had more ability plus being GM and GM Copies (ford) parts where plentifiul and cheap unless you get a AU series then your fucked

Why does /o/ hate the R34 so much when it's almost universally loved everywhere else? Is it just the standard "4chins hating everything that's popular" meme?

Was there even a LHD R34?

>>14176346
its a meme Poor Walker car that most aussies and people aside from yanks (lol) have access for the last 20+ years, they are as common as fuck EVERYWHERE except the US, its grass is always greener syndrome and having owned one its not all its cracked up to be
>mfw late model turbo barra craps over the rb26det
>mfw the 2JZ craps over both
>mfw a v8 walks over everything without any boost
Welp

>>14175836
You're a little right I think.
If I recall, it was MB that pushed for it cause something about it being cheaper to import a yurop spec. I could be wrong.
Cause the whole safety thing is some bullshit. If that were the case, 25 years older doesn't automatically make them safe to drive on the road.

>>14176346
Yep, it's just the classic contrarian hipster meme. Can't like anything that's popular, so things like the AE86, Skyline, manual transmissions, and disliking FWD get shat on here. Whatever is massively popular next will be hated too.

>>14176355
There was never a LHD Skyline at all.

This thread and threads like it kill me. God damn.

The same shit will continue to happen all the way up until every single R34 is legal to import:
>I want a skyline!
>$60k hell yeah I'll finance that
>fuck why do parts cost so much?
>man fuck this
>"R34 Skyline for sale, $100K cleanest R34 in America!!"

I'm waiting right now to see a retard back home sell his R32 he got from Rivsu that blew a head gasket at at $27K asking price. Shit is comical.

>>14176709
You. I've been wanting to talk to you.
You still in Yokosuka?

You buy an R32 if you want the original shit
You buy an R33 if you want the improved R32 but its not original
You buy an R34 because even tho it might be worse i just think its better looking than the 32 or 33

You can import it. You just cant register or drive it. That being said the govt had a boner for the r34 for a while and was confiscating them. You can import it as a race car, but there's a lot of things you need to do. read: paperwork.

>>14175783
it was the crash standards mostly. thats why motorex had to crash a fuck load of them to get the rights to sell them. AND emissions, but anyone can get it to meet emissions, most can't afford to crash test them

Motorex became a registered importer and entered into the complicated process of working with the Department of Transportation to legalize the cars for U.S. road use, beginning with a series of crash tests. In the front crash test report to the D.O.T., filed on November 17, 1998, the R33 Nissan Skyline [GTS – note- Sam] used in the test is referred to as a 1999 A.I. Craft GTR 2 Door.
HIRO NANAHOSHI WAS only 26 when Motorex began crash testing Skylines. He grew up near Osaka, Japan, in what his friends say was an average Japanese family. His father was a salaryman who worked for the beer company Sapporo. Of the family, Eric Hsu, who knew Hiro both professionally and socially, said, “They weren’t in the car business, that’s for sure.”

Op, you want that car that bad? Start saving your money now. Be the hero poorfag that all others look up to. Nothing like a broken r34 parked in a trailer park. Priorities.
