Anyone from the EU(not UK)

[Gasara]

and knows what if there are any mod reguirements if u wanna import a GT-R from Japan? I know there is the Euro-2 test, but almost all Japanese exporters can do that test over in Japan for couple hundred Yens.

ps. I'm just asking this, cause I will be moving back to Europe(from the US) and just wanna know what are the requirements.

thx for all:flash:

I think if you buy one in the UK, you could easily import it to any other country in europe, cauz it then already is Eu certified.
You`ll only have to pay local tax.
(But I have never seen an GT-R on the continent in the wild)

Yeah, I know that u can easily import one from the UK, but I think u can get it WAY cheaper from Japan, also I think the UK ones need to be modded a lot, converted to miles and all that crap. I've seen couple GT-Rs when I was in Germany 4 years ago or so.

They cost more than in japan, but are far easier to get hold of and need less mods than in the usa.

There are hundreds of excellent second hand ones available in the uk, where as the usa has practically none.

I suggest you find a second hand one, and import that.

when the hell did europe swith from the metric system to miles?:bandit:

[Gasara]

oopsy, i meant converted from miles back to km, hehe...my bad. I think every car 2years and older in the UK has to be converted to miles.

Again, I'm not looking to import it to the USA. I'm looking to import it to continental Europe.

whoa, thats crazy, i didnt know that they made u convert them after a few years...:bandit:

Hi,

I live in Belgium and I have an R34. Getting it homologated took time but it was helped by the fact I brought it via the UK.

Hi Dan,

What mods u had to do? Was it already a UK model or a Japanese one? Did it easily passsed the Eur-2 test?

[redback911]

Hi Gasara,

It was a UK spec car so it had a SVA papers, this helped with getting the car thru hmologation. There were a number of questions concerning teh lack of safety numbers for glass, seat belts etc. But these could be solved by bureaucratic arguing, the main issues were the C/O, Lights and Exhaust noise. The lights I guess are the main issue as Nissan does not make a set for driving on the right handside of the road and lights are tested as part of the homologation, in the end we took a set of lights from a Mitsibish Galant and put the lens and buckets under the R34 outer glass and they work great.

BTW I am still waiting to see if the C/O and Noise tests have passed (as the paperwork can take months). Although I do not see a problem.

As soon as I went thru all the tests I upgraded my car to 500BHP, using Cams, Fual Rail, Injectors, bigger Turbo's, clutch, AP 6-Pot brakes, Etc...

Next year new stricter rules will come into effect so it may be impossible to homologate the car if needed : (

[Gasara]

The lights arent that hard to fix. If u get the C/O and noise tests, could u please post it. Also what was wrong with the seat belts? Yah, I heard that the Euro-3 or whatever it is called, real stupid and Merc and BMW was complaining about, cause their big engines cars wouldnt pass those tests.

[NiteskyR]

bull , wat do they do shit!

[extreme_one]

Did the Mitsubishi Galant lights fit perfectly?
