ADV10 Deep Concave
EDIT: Wasn't paying attention to the model. Was thinking new. I wish it was easier to own the Skylines in the US.

I have several friends with the new ones, but the old ones never came here. There are just a limited amount of grey market cars available. Many of them came through a company that faked crash tests and didn't do the mods needed to make them meet American safety laws. Those cars will periodically be purchased by someone, moved to another state and are denied registration and title. Every once in a while ICE rolls a tow truck to someone's house and just takes their Skyline.
the new ones are diff kettle of fish, i def have one, monster of a car!!!
i have a prob with newer cars, most lack soul, im def stuck in a 90's retro type car style, sporting alfas, fto's etc. infact im seriously thinking of buying another fto cheap and make a project out of it.
thats scandalous with the skys over there, you'd be mighty pissed at having it confiscated!
thing that puts me of skys here is that they all seem to have side skirts and bumper aprons that sit out way further than the alloys, i think its just ugly looking, they need big fvck off wide deep dish wheels
Yup, those guys were shady. Going from memory, they used R33 crash data for both the R33 and R34 and when the government found out they say all the R34s were invalid. Then it was discovered that they didn't make any of the modifications required on some of the cars. Eventually, they sort of grandfathered in the remaining cars, but in the past few years owners have had a lot of problems.
Read the story if you have a little time. It is a good one.
I used to hang out with some Jamaicans down here that were heavy into the street scene (before the movies ruined everything), they literally brought GTRs from Jamaica on boats and drove them onto land in someones back yard...no customs, registration or anything and would just drive them around like that.
Funny story. Once we were all driving on the highway, going about 80 mph, screwing around and what not...one of the Jamaican R32 GTRs was a few cars ahead of me. A cop got behind us and attempted to pull all of us over. The GTR took off, was GONE. So I pulled over (he was already infront of me at this point, couldn't make a run for it)...apparently he thought my car was the GTR and gave me all kinds of tickets. We tried explaining that the car was the same color, but not the same car...he replied "I don't care, it's like shooting fish in a barrel, I'll take what I can get"
Damn.
