Looking for a Skyline!

I know this has nothing to do with the RX-8, but I'm entering into the SCCA this year (which is a racing series) and I'm looking to purchase a NON-US street legal Nissan Skyline. They are hard to find so I figured I would ask if anyone in the foriegn parts of the forum would know someone or some place that could hook me up. I'm looking for something above 93' and it has to be a GTR, no GTS. It can be a R32, or R33 but an R34 would be great. Interior condition doesn't matter since it will be gutted for safety equipment. So if anybody knows a dealer or private seller if they could post it or PM me. Thanks.

just check it out at www.skylinegtr.com

Expect to pay at least 33k-100k+ for one. R32s are cheaper obviously, then the R34s are super expensive.

Anything above 1994 is going to cost you at least 40k.

a coworker of mine is importing one from Japan. If the car is 15 yr or older, you can import it without problem as long as it pass all the emission test, etc, at least in Quebec here anyway. He paid 10k for it.

Outlaw, the Motorex company converts the Skylines to US- street legal sence mine is being used as a pure race casr it does not have to be street legal which means it will be less expensive. Thanks for the help. Essential I call you.

As above, you can bring a 15-year old car into Canada and use it on the street without worrying about crash testing, emmissions etc.
The gates are starting to open on the R32s (the first ones off the line will be 15 years old this month.)
I'm actually toying with the idea of buying one next year my self.
Going rate right now for a decent one seems to be about $16K Canadian.
