  • Except cutting vins is illegal. A lot of places import R32 GTRs and make them legal look at Black Ops Performance. Bee*R also makes a body kit for R32s to make them look like R34s and it actually looks good. Reference:Know people that import GTRs and make them legal... Read More
  • Dont listen to anyone except john paul. in the us a car has to be 25 years old to be grandfathered in. r33s are STILL illegal. Motorx crash testing them means nothing... If you were smart and knew how it worked youd know that when motorx crash tested the r33 they... Read More
  • Not all pre-R35 Skylines are illegal. Grandfather laws allow the R30, R31 and R32 to be imported. The R33 GTS-T can also be imported, because this was the only skyline model that Motorex (The company that was imported Skylines in a shady way, eventually got shut down... Read More
  • Jeffery also remember such limited production high performance car will be very hard to find. If you find one that is not rusting better have it checked over for repaired accident damage and wear and tear. The other problem is USA nissan dealers will not be able to... Read More
  • The r34 is illegal because of emission problem. And yes it's permanent. The only r that is legal here is the r35.

Why should I also consider these?

Acceleration, top-speed figures, and flashy styling mean a lot in this class of vehicle, but the driving experience means something, too.

Two of the top rivals to the GT-R are the Corvette ZR1 and the Porsche 911 Turbo.

The ZR1's supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 will push it to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, 0.3 second faster than the Corvette Z06, according to GM; it'll hit 100 mph in 7.0 seconds, turn in quarter-mile times of 11.3 seconds at 131 mph, and charge to a claimed top speed of 205 mph, all for a price tag some $20,000 higher than the GT-R—and minus two seats.

The 911 Turbo has them beat at the top end, offering nearly 200 mph and an available top-down experience, punching out 480 hp for nearly $135,000.

As for which one would draw more gawkers, it's a toss-up.
