Importing an AWD accord will probably cost about as much anyway.

 

[StarBellieAngel]

i think it'd be more... importing you have to deal with DOT and all that.

 

[Battle Pope]

Oh yeah - forgot about all that shit. There's a reason that a $60,000 Skyline costs over $100,000 after DOT-ing and markup.

i thought a Skyline "only" costs $80k after having it DOT approved and importing it??

i guess that depends on the trim and mileage. i read somewhere the skylines retailed for around 45g brand new.

R34 GTRs are a little over 55grand brand new. I was under the impression that it'd be 15-20k to import it and legalize it through motoRex.

Yeah, but the DOT-ing doesnt have to happen depending on ur state.

Think about it - the morons who run the inspection station at ur local gas station arent gonna know ur tail's arnt Dot complient . . . . as long as u pass smog, ur good.

You still need to get the car registered...... The people who do that tend to know what they're looking at DOT wise.

 

[Prowler]

Live in Montana. You don't have to worry about that at all. There's a few R32's running around fully licensed.

 

[Guy]

So even if it wont be used at all on the road, you still have to get it registered?
I ask because out of college Im planning on teaching english in Japan for a year and picking up a cappuccino, that i was hoping i could bring back home.

 

[Battle Pope]

What's a cappuccino?

 

[driver1]

a coffee like drink

 

[Guy]

Its a suzuki roadster. Turbocharged DOHC 3cyl 660cc RWD K car (they get yellow lisence plates in japan).
Some examples are a bit ricey, but a few are pretty clean too - http://caffekage.blogspot.com/
An atricle that reviews a few K cars (including the capp) and has a history of the K car. http://www.aas.com.sg/features/archive/f08013.htm
