Skylines are all over the place in JP from N/As to turbos. modded out the butt to grandmas car.
I'd buy a skyline for under 20k drive the hell out of it and sell before you leave. DONE.
You can buy a EVO here, you can buy a R32 here. you CANNOT and never will beable to buy a Skyline here other then a rebadged G35
BTW if youre not a certified SCUBA driver make sure you are before you leave for Japan. My brother was there for 3 years and went driving every other day. (when not flying the next day) He put in a request to stay for another 3 years but it's one of the best places to be in the airforce so everyone tries to go there.

better to know now then get assed-out later.
the importer is one thing... getting it here is not that hard. its KEEPING it here (you're allowed 90 days i think... some race-car stipulation for f1 and such... or, you have to pull th emotor, and shit the cahssis seperate from the motor, and then rebuild here in the states....) and then even tougher, registering it... if not imposible.
and then, finding a company to insure a car thats not in their books, and rare as fuck.... proba 10k a year, if not more....
yep. they fucked up... and the gov't shut them down. basically, the gov't pulled their license because they weren't performing the mods that they said they were to make them legal.
if you own a skyline here in the states that was 'rexed, you can keep it here, and those are the only ones you can legally register. there will be no more. at least not in the immed. future...
like jeffie said... you can get an evo here. thats legal. so get the skyline while you're there..... and when you leave, sell it, and come back to the states, and get an evo or an sti, or whatever...

Search about Evolution Imports on http://www.evolutionm.net . there are quite a few horror stories about people getting majorly ripped off. beware.
The current G35 IS the skyline right now in Japan.
http://www2.nissan.co.jp/SKYLINE/V35/0511/CONCEPT/main1.html
The GTR model skyline has nothing more then talk right now. chances are it wont have the 3.5L motor.
there's even talk about a new 450Z using a 4.5L V8 that makes 400HP with AWD. If anything I bet they drop the 450Z idea and make the 4.5L V8AWD for the G35... cough, I mean skyline.
Bottom line we will never see a REAL skyline IMO unless its got the inline 6 motor its just not the same. just like a REAL Z to me is a inline 6 motor Z from 1983 and before. I own a 350Z I love the car but I can't really see it as what the Zs use to be. The new skyline will be the same way. no doubt a nice car but not what the old RB26 motored cars were.
and yes for some reason I thought he ment VW R32.

jeffie: were you talking about me getting a scuba DIVING license? i was searching "scuba driving license" on google! haha
i have the option dvd that has the g35/skyline with the 4.5 litre v8 twin turbo.all i can say about it is....GOSH DAYMMM! that thing is a fucking beast.hits 215+mph on the german autobahn.
the only thing that sux about the evo's and sti's is they're everywhere.don't get me wrong,they're bad ass rides but i want something different. but on another note.... i forgot to mention that i'm going to bring back a full k20a-R swap with ITB'S and drop that into an EK coupe when i get back home.i'm never gonna get out of HONDAS! if anyone is interested we can talk before i leave and maybe i can hook some of my fellow hondaswap members with stuff overseas.well thnx again for the info.it really helped me out
