[QUOTE="dB-SPL, post: 3402048, member: 579631"] Just to help all the confusion, all GT-R Skylines were AWD and came with the same motor (RB26DETT). As for this statement: This is way off. They never 'banned' Skylines , in general, from street use. The R34 (1999+) Skylines were not compatible with our OBD2 emission laws and safety regulations, but a company in California that specialized in importing them (MotoRex) never seized importation and conversion. They were slapped with a law suit and no longer import them. It has NOTHING to do with them 'being too fast and killing people'. Skylines are more than legal, people just don't have the money to make them streetable. You have the price of the car, the finders fee, shipping and the conversion fees. Rounding roughly to an easy $90,000-$115,000 for an R34 to be legally registered in the US. I think Cananda gets away with it because they have that.. What is it, 10-years and it's considered 'North American' or something along those lines. Nice build though, nonetheless. Looks like a fun job! -Bill- [/QUOTE]
