Awesome ride not many people have R32's in the US

That's a rare vehicle to see these days. Pardon my ignorance, but can anyone explain how is it possible to get them legally shipped over here in the US?

Captain Bone

There are specific companies that specialize in legalizing them and bringing them over. (I forget the MAIN one's name in Cali, but you catch the idea)

OR

You can go about it a backdoor way or through someone you know.

A company called MotoRex took the time, and actually had several GTR's Crash tested by the DOT, they were then given strict guide line's of what is needed to be done "modification wise" to the cars to make them up to date with US crash standards. The same is needed from the EPA. Once these modifications are complete and tested. the car recieves a US vin # and can be registered like any other car.

sounds simple but this is a very tedious, and time consuming process, The car actually arrivied here in the states about 1 year ago(time of purshase), and I just took delievery of it over the weekend!. I still am waiting on my actual plates, but am legal with a temp tag, for now.
If you get the car cirtified in a year or less your considered lucky.

but i just glad she's finally in the garage!

thanks for the great replies,

Nice ride!

Do you already have plans for the car already modwise? (I'd imagine you would since you bought it a year ago )

Well done paul, for sticking out & going through all that hassle!!
There are many people who would be interested in the actual process of conforming etc.
If you have the time, how about doing some documentation/stage by stage, so the members can get an idea of the hassle's you had to endure? eg. cost of car/cost of work carried out/paper work etc etc.
THAT WOULD BE BRILL....

Just a quick question, do you know from your contacts wether they can conform any other cars besides nissans?

Thanx baz.

Paul2x

thanks for all the great replies guys!!!

real quick.....i'll come back and answer all other Q's later...

but as far as bringing in other cars......it's not a problem...anyone can do....it's getting a plate on the car, thats a problem...

if you want to register it and drive it on the streets......someone needs to do independent crash tests, to get the data b/c the manufactures won't release it. And DOT doesn't recognize that a RHD car crashes the same as a LHD cars.....Like 240sx's....lots of guys are buying these RHD 240's for drifting and what not but cant put a plate on them...(you might be able to swop vin's or something) but legaly no way.

so thats why no one else has any other car on the streets like older EVO's and what not.....

but the company that i went too actually spent big bucks and did independent crash tests with 32's,33's and 34's to be able to register the cars


hope that helps..


gotta run..

Instead of crash tests,what about an engineers report? any contacts.
