What to look for in a used 95' R33 GTR V-Spec
 

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums, so please bare with me :)
I have two questions, and positive feedback would be greatly appreciated:
1.) What should I look for when checking out a 1995 R33 GTR V-spec?
-Yes...I know about the whole importing/pain in the butt thing haha.
2.) Has anyone heard/delt with Evolution Imports in Orlando, Florida?

Thanks,
Kurt

Is it burgundy? If so he was here in Cincinnati trying to sell it but someone called the DOT on him :D .

Last I heard they were on the run for importing cars illegaly and selling them.

Don't take the chance it's up to a 25,000 fine and they take the car and crush it.

Nope, must be a different one. Yeah I have found out a lot the past few days and have decided to hold off. Your right, doesnt seem worth it this way. Thanks for the help! Also, have you ever heared of skyline-imports.com?

Yeah I've heard of skyline imports to there doing it illegaly 2 the only company you can get a legal 1 from is MotoRex unless some one is selling one that motorex has done for them.

So did you purchase yours through Motorex?

Yes about 3 year ago the're a pain to deal I wish RB was around when I had bought mine there alot better to deal with.


You need to read these threads before trying to get the R-34 GTT or the R-33

Yep, I've checked those out before. So how do RB's prices compare to Motorex...cheaper, around the same...? Thanks for all the help!

OK, bonzelite, I emailed skyline imports and got the following response. Was wondering, since you obviously know more about the process than I do, check on the information contained in this email. The top is what I sent them, the bottom is the response.....


I was wondering if you could send me a list of your Registered
Importers and conversion specialists for reference. I am only
checking on the validity of your claim to be able to import the
Nissan Skyline in to the US. I know that there are a bunch of scams
out there and just want to be sure before sinking that kind of money
into this venture.

At this time Skyline Revolution, LLC is authorized and capable of acting as a broker for the entry of Nissan Skylines. Nine Second Racing, LLC has completed and submitted their Registered Importer packet after 2 months of investigation and numerous conversations with NHTSA. We are fully confident at the approval for Nine Second Racing is pending, but the official paper work has not been processed as of yet. We have been working diligently with Skyline Imports for the last 60 days to build a solid relationship. This new partnership is beneficial not only to the 3 companies but also so we can provide a quality end product car for all of our US based interests at a reasonable price. The partnership and the Registered Importer process is not a short and easy process but we are working to make that transition as painless as possible for all 3 companies to work together without delays, without inflated prices, and without complications to each and every one of our customers. Dedication to the Nissan Skyline community and the sport compact community is what makes this what it is. Integrity and honesty is what will make us stand out from all the rest, and we stand behind our cars so that all you have to do is drive them.

Yeah, I spoke with Robert at Skyline Imports over the phone today. They are very knowlegable, and very well organized. Robert answered every question I had, plus more! In the meantime, no hurt in looking up for info. I will eventually be getting in contact with Skyline Revolution, who is based out of Oregon. They have packets of information that can be sent out, which I'm pretty sure deal more in depth with the whole process. Also, these three company's are being backed by the major import car magazines out there, and from what I hear, there will be some info on these importers in the comming issues. If you need more information, Robert was a great person to talk to at Skyline Imports. I'm sure the rest of the staff is just as knowlegable :smilie_th .
