I was wondering how much do you think a 1999 GTR34 with 150,000 to 200,000 miles would cost?

Thanks,
Nate

Your talking about miles not kilometers, right? I can't recall ever seeing a R34 with that many miles on it. In my opinion, I would think an R34 with that many miles would probably run you about $17k-$28k or so.

Don't get me wrong, I am not expert but, from what I have seen with all skylines (especially the R34) people try to sqeeze every last penny out them. You might be able to find one cheaper. I just wouldn't bet your lunch money on it!

So what are you saying, the r34 GT-R would be cheaper to buy, import from japan, and pay for the legalization?

No...it would be cheaper to buy an R32 or R33 and import it from Japan. As far as legalization goes...you can't legalize a R32 or R34 since there is no data saying that these vehicles can be modified to comply with FMVSS. From I have read, there are only two companies that are willing to convert a R33. http://www.gnkauto.com and j.k. technologies. It is heard that both of these companies are charging upwards of $25k - $30k for the conversion process.

Actually your a little incorrect, they can do the nesscery mods but they still can't federaly legalize them. Neither company has been able to take care of the OBD2 issue.

I am almost positive that I read somewhere that the R33 doesn't have an OBD II problem. If I find out where that is I will make sure I post it.

1995 R33's don't have an issue because they have an OBD1 system. 96 and above do because they dont have an OBD2 system built in.

You can get a legalized R33 GTS-T titled and street ready for 26,000 USD on www.fast4wheels.com (http://www.fast4wheels.com) . They have a bunch of them for sale already here in the U.S.

Is that place legit? Also do you need a special permit to drive with the wheel on the right?

So then they are illegal. You can't have something that is sorta kinda legal.

So then how do they get off saying they are legal? Or is it just for like track stuff?

The state there in is allowing them to get away with it But the laws there violating is on a federal level.

Thats really weird. Hmm well I sent him an email asking if they were legal. And he replied they were 100% legal. I don't know how the feds let that go. I don't mind I'm just curious.

Ask him how there getting around the EPA requirement for OBD2 because anything imported 96 and up have to meet that?

At present there's no certified EPA OBD2 system for skylines.

I have one question though. How is your Skyline legal? Is it 'cus of the model?

I got my car from MotoRex back when they were actually doing things right.

It's a 95 anything 95 and under has to have a OBD1 system which all GT-R's under 95 have.

Couldnt you just take the OBD2 and convert it to a OBD1 in 96+ models?

Nope federal lasw say's it has to be obd2. That's one of the things MotoRex got in trouble for.

IT depends on how much money you have I know of 3 MotoRex legal skylines for sale. There still considered legal by the federal goverment. There around 50K but they have motor mods.

It is not possible to legalize a GT-R or any Skyline for that matter at this point in time, so being that it's impossible, it's definetly going to be easier to buy an already Federalized car.
