Snapping My Car

[Modena]

Had an American guy yesterday ask if he could take photos of my car. In USA Skylines are banned for a gay reason that it costs a little to get a lot of power out of them. They have Supras though and aren't Supra's in the same boat?

[jake33]

dont know the exact reason. i thought it was power to weight.. but then that wouldnt make sense cause they got some powerful cars over there. i think the U.S government is just too scared of a clean street warrior!

you can have them over their but only for track use and stuff like that. i think i read somewhere that after 2F2F paul walker brought a 34 gtr or something..and loves it. someshit!

[Basti]

its safety related. they dont pass the u.s regulations.

[redevil]

yeah they dont pass U.S crash tests....

[Modena]

yeah they dont pass U.S crash tests....

Eh... more info plz?

[Ronin 09]

um they are all right hand drive too...

[saff_cossie]

Yeah isnt to do with money to modify. It is similar to not meeting ADR's and as Ronin says, they are right hand drive vehicles. There were a number of posts floating around at the time 2F2F came out in relation to this. Google should help

paul walker got his R34 before 2f2f and used it in the movie.

thought it was fairly easy to modify a skyline to lhd, use maxima parts or something. All the UAE ones that are lhd....interior does look shit though....

isn't the 34 from that movie sitting in a display at universal studios......

they probably just copyed the body work cause it also made apreances at car shows.

but if you get the specal edition dvd of 2f2f and use the info things (cant rember what there called but they come up during the movie) when you first see the r34 leaving the garage (to go the race) it pops up saying that pual walker owns the R34 and it cost him $110000. dont know tho if it was inc the mods or just for the car.

[jake33]

if that is his actual car, i would so change the way it looks if it were mine. so tack!

[TracidTrax]

i also heard it was because of shifty compliance shops but im not sure on how true that is

They have Supra's cause they were locally delivered to the US, they are also LHD

[Player_Hater]

ill have to find the pics which i have floating somewhere.... but in saudi arabia they love the gtr's and following american trends all their cars are left hand drive. So they simply just have r32 n 33 gtr's coverted over to LHD..

Yeah the yanks will drop and RB25 into ANYTHING because of this, I've seen some really strange mods. That's also why you see these awful conversions on cars to make them look like 34's - a good reason to sell your old 34 tail lights on US ebay though

I'm pretty sure that Motorex in the US can bring in the 34 GTR's - not sure how though.

"MotoRex has completed all of the mandatory requirements for the elegibility of importation of the Nissan Skyline GT-R. Motorex is proud to announce the street legal Nissan Skyline GT-R for the United States; however MotoRex is no longer importing Skyline GT-R's"

I have a feeling that's how Paul Walker found his bargain 34

Yeap one of the r34's used in 2fast 2 furious is at universal studios, i was there 2months back to c it in the flesh, they also have the purple eclipse there and also the black dodge from part 1.

i asked a few guys when i was over in the states about r33 and none of them have seen them on the roads due to them not meetin complience over there due to some safety guideline.

at one point they did allow them into the usa but have since been stopped, so there would only be a handful of them over there.
