I suppose that's the Japanese way of telling American that there is yet another way of screwing America other than the Pearl Harbour way!!!:D But than again, I don't think the Japanese get to see much of the Vettes and Vipers.

But in japan you can't build cars with over 280 hp *winks*
America is put into a bad position with this....we have to do something about the depleting ozone because of all the crap we get for creating the hole (yeah, it's justified) but then we complain about emissions laws. I think crash tests are justified too, but should only apply to commuter cars and stuff like that. I really don't care if a supercar can't pass a crash test. And, besides, we have noone else to blame but ourselves for the RX-7 and the Z for leaving (and thus the GT-R never even coming). We didn't buy them! What're Mazda and Nissan supposed to do?

Is the hole over US bigger than anywhere else?:) I suppose it boils down to pure economics. For the GTR to come, money has to be spent for compliance, promos,assemblies have to be made for the car to be manufactured in the US etc. The fact that Americans drive on the wrong side of the road also does not help:D When everything is done and yet Americans don't buy the stuff, that's tough man! But I heard the RX 8 and the new Z are coming to the US. Enjoy.....

u can get a skyline here through a company called motorx but they are a shitload of money. the main orob is due to the position of the turbos nissan cant get the steering wheel over to our side. :(

I think America does suck in certain areas:p I mean American can't get the Elise as well!! Oh no oh no:eek:

america not getting the elise is due to Lotus, isn't it? They just didn't want to bring it here because they had too large of a market in Europe, so why bother? Now they plan to bring it over because the market is too large to ignore.

hi guys i,m from oz, we, like the US didnt and most likely wont get r33, r34 gtr but we did get 100 r32 gtr back in about 1990. We also get low volume imports, same i guess as what motorex do. (i have a r33 gtr it rocks.)
the reason why motorex charge so much is that they had to crash test 1 of every variant that they would sell and also work out all of the items that required removal and replacement to comply with the laws of the US. this was very expensive and time consuming.
but the thing is that you CAN buy a gtr in America!

welcome to AF adam!!
It's very awesome that you own a GT-R,
are there any pics that you can post here?
You can just attach em from your hard drive, if you don't have them on the web.
BTW, gt-r.ws will be delayed :(

Some rich punk should import 49 skylines and sell 'em, cause if you "produce" less than 50 cars you don't have to crash test or make them emmissions compliant...right?

Love the colour Adam. And the plate number too:cool: Say, have you moded it? Poor Igor, he cannot buy one in America:( :mad:
BTW, Enzo, it is the same with the Skyline. They are not in the US b'coz of Nissan. I believe the American want the Skyline, but Nissan for some reason or other does not want American to have them!! Oh dear oh dear....The story is sadder when it comes to Skylines. I mean Lotus is a small outfit and they probably cannot afford the extra cost. Also perhaps they cannot cope with production. So their decision is dictated by circumstances. But Nissan is a big outfit. They could absorb the cost easily. Their current base in America could be used to market the Skyline. But they still DO NOT WANT the Skyline to be in the US:( Now, that's sad:( :( :(

Yes, I know. I was just eluding to the fact that Nissan's 300ZX's poor selling was the reason (mainly, I would say) that the skyline didn't come over. With the elise there was simply no need for it. However, with the rise of the sports car that seems to be happening now (i.e. RX-8, new Z) the skyline will be imported, right?

Now, if Mazda would just bring the 7 back to the states!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

here in oz you can buy r32 from $35000, r33 from $48000 to about $70000 and r34 for around the $140000 mark (all gtr, vspec $$$$$$ more).
mine has 3 inch exhaust, extra cold air intake, and a boost bleed valve here on the desk ready to install.
(pre boost increase) hp would be approx 320hp.
oversteer on demand in 1st 2nd and (3rd if youv'e the balls)

halve these prices for US dollars!
