Skyline R31?

Question

Just wondering has anybody Imported a allot of R31s to the US yet and if you have how much did you pay for the car Because I'm thinking about getting one when i go to Japan or Australia

no I'm not getting one because video games glorify it I'm getting it because its unqiue and rare car and i haven't really since anybody import one into the US they mostly import the r32s and up.also I'm not a big fan of old American muscle cars or American cars in general.

No i Really want a R31 the Other Skylines are no problem to import over to here plus my dad has a Business partner who brings skylines,S15s,and pulsers over but i havent really seen anybody selling any R31s online on the forums So looks like I have go look around Japan when i go next year and to Tricky what do you have a GTS or GTR and what modifications have you done to it

Answer 1

Great cars i have only ever seen one.
Best place to source would be Australia as i have seen a good few on sites there.I cannot comment on Japan as apart from the gtr meet there i have seen one on pics from the show there.

Is this a model you really like or is it just a Skyline you wanted.
The older brother the r32 is a great car i had one a few months ago before i got the r33 and the r32 so great fun all round a pleasure to drive.And took me on a long road trip with no problems at all.

Also my second home the skyline forum with members from all over the world and many with r32 r33 and r34's from the US .
You can get Skylines in the US with owners on the forum alone also i watched US i watched a modified car show with loads of imported skylines set in the US.

Only had for 3 months as had the r32 before.Atm front splitter /rear spats/sideskirts/rear high level spoiler/rear strut bar/rear tinted windows/iridium plugs/upgraded brakes/high performance oil and changed fuel filter.Next week to be fitted greedy kelvar timing belt new belts all round/N1 GTR water pump/new bearings idler tensioner.As wanted to upgrade pump and belt before add more bhp.Next decat with big bore urban x muffler/ fmic/.boost valve.change to noisey dump valve.Apexi Induction .new wheels/ divx player motorised screen back in from the R32.Performance gear box oil and filter change.

Answer 2

Why would you want such an old car that will not meet Safety and emissions standards. Plus right hand drive? Importers have mostly been sued for not getting bonds released and EPA killed the rest off. Your money would best be spent on any number of American Legal Cars. Viedo Games glorified the R-31. And there were not very many made in the first place. Good luck finding one if you really wanted one your time might have past five years ago.

Answer 3

Dude, just import one and register it as an emmisions exempt Maxima and use a Maxima VIN. They look enough alike most dumbasses won't know the difference.

Answer 4

well to get that car is about 30 0r 28 k give or take but if ur going to use it in states u need to register it wich is about 7 k
