they are certainly legal here if you know the right people. oh and it does not have vin swap, using original vin and build date plates!

Japanese cars are all limited to 180KMph by law.. my lude has the limiter (japanese motor) but I got a field VTEC controller to get rid of it. (actually it doesn't get rid of it, it just doubles it)

Its one thing to insure it if YOU know someone, but can someone else insure it? ( hookup with insurance after sale?)
DOes it have the stock wheels? Any other upgrades?
Someone wanna buy an A4????

I guess that's your own problem.
Or wait until 2004 to insure it legally. haha.

01-17-2003, 05:52 PM
interesting... I dont' think insurance is a problem, or registration. Just getting it past customs is the tough part.

01-17-2003, 07:23 PM
I believe that once the hard part is done (getting set up the first time ie:reg and ins) you're good to go.. I mean once the Government knows about it, it's not hard to insure and register.

JohnnyZ
01-17-2003, 08:34 PM
Damn it!

I have been thinking of ways to import one into Canada for a while now. Any ideas to help me out here? How'd you do it? I go to Japan annually so finding one is not a problem. Paying for one is not a problem. Its getting it legalized to own thats killing me. I'm specifically looking for an R32 or R33.

once the car is 15 years old, its legal.
so in 2004 it will be legal to drive, insure and register a R32.

Why don't you check out the motorex website(www.MotoRex.net) I bet you they can work something out with you

01-19-2003, 11:25 PM
if you go to motorex you'll get raped.
According to the site it says it'll cost you roughly $30k USD to bring one in.

rage2

Motorex will bring one in that's Federalized for the USA only. Still can't register it up here in Canada.

um, your post should be the other way around.. they ARE allowed in the states.. becuse if your driving it here then it's legal in the states.. in FACT you can't actually buy a skyline in Canada , even if you go to motorex in Cali, becuse US crash testing is NOT as stringent as Canadian.. and if you look at the lastest list of cars allowed into Canada.. that's NOT one of them.. unless you bought 5 of them, reinforced them, emissioned them and then let CSA have them to crash, certify the car them inport another , with a certificate comming from the only place in Canada that is authorized to certify an import into Canada , ( canadian tire..) ..

so what's the story ? if you did get this into the country and have it certified.. lets see the papers So I can import my own, along with 8 of my other buddys..

buh_buh
01-22-2003, 02:52 AM
it will be legal in 2004.

in 2004 im going to be looking for a nice older r32, and that is all i have to say on this matter :D

georgeous car though, i wish i had had 28k for it.

Actually, there is no crash testing available to the consumer to import cars that aren't on the list. If it's not on the list, it's not coming in, simple as that. Transport Canada/RIV is very anal about non Canadian spec cars. Try bringing in ANY car from overseas that's not 15 years old. It won't be allowed through the port (there are travel excemptions however for non residents, where you put down a bond and only have the car here for 6 months).

Now, there ARE loopholes (look at the F40 that's been in town for years now, that car is clearly not admissible), but those loopholes are obviously highly secretive for the guys that bring these cars in. Even though there's an F40 registered and insured in calgary, try bringing one in (one that's not 15 years old)... guess what, you won't be allowed :D.

I reitterate my last paragraph, how'd you get it out of quarentine like that ?? specify it as a race only car ?? that's the OLY way I could see it getting into the country ..

hehe good question, unfortunately, I'm not the seller, just someone that's familiar with import laws.

How the guy brought the car in, I still don't know. He claims he's friends with a customs agent.

So are you saying that as long as its over 15 years old (ie. 1989 R32) it in fact _WILL_ be allowed into Canada legally?

Any insight into this will be greatly appreciated. You have no idea how serious I am about bringing in an R32.

I have the means to go to Japan personally and find the perfect car, I just need to know if it is realistic to get my hopes up that in 2004 this will be possible.

rage2

Yes. May 1989 is when the first batch of R32 GT-R's were released (~1000 cars) with a build date of April 1989. Those first 1000 cars will be legal in April 2004.

After 15 years, it's out of Transport Canada's control and Customs Canada deals with it all. Give Revenue/Customs Canada a call locally. They'll have all the information/taxes required for bringing the car in.

Good luck getting the car serviced or modified locally though. Talk about getting raped on parts! :D

Thanks Rage2 for that tidbit. I actually just got off the phone with the CCRA and they confirmed all that too. Do you know what needs to be done once it reaches Canada (I assume it'll be in Vancouver) for me to have it shipped to Ottawa, where I am? If I specify the destination as "Ottawa" from Tokyo, will the car automatically be shipped here for it to be registered or will I have to do the customs work in Van, and then find a way to get it to Ontario.

I hope there's a way to make this as painless as possible. I'd hate to have to fly out there just to bring the car back to Ontario.

John

PS. Again, anyone out there with info would be on my most grateful list forever... :thumbsup:

rage2
01-23-2003, 11:08 AM
I'm guessing either you or the shipper would arrange for the car to be loaded on a train to Ottawa. You might have to make a trip out to Vancouver or Halifax (wherever the car's being shipped to) or you can call some Brokerage houses to deal with it for you.

The most important thing is to have the proper paperwork from Japan stating when the car was built (original sales invoice would be handy). The information is already on the build plates, but canada customs/revenue would probably want paper documentation to back it up.

You've got lots of time, over a year to go before any GT-R's qualify for usage on Canadian soil.

A friend of mind name John have been calling me to ask me to buy a R32 from him and his friend. he said it is insured and registered in Edmonton, I was going to go down to test drive it some time. I think this is the one that you guys are talking about.

ya i hear that people seen the r32 in edmonton but i heard its only a gt not a gt-r and i heard hes sellin it for 20 g's.


O and once a car is imported into canada it is not the shippers responsibility it gets to ottawa, once its in canada they have nothing to do with it and leave it up to you.

wow..........nice one. i think for those ppl planning to get a R to here. $$$$$$ is not really the issue. it's all the process......i'm just wondering that how come it has to be over 15 yrs old.....but i've see few GTR 33 in Van. how come they can get the license plate on?

it's legal to drive a car like that in calgary with the steering on the right?

legendboy
07-21-2003, 01:47 PM
If you wait and import your own it probably would only cost you about $15,000 cdn imported for a nice r32. If you could get the car here you could always run a D plate on it instead of insuring it:dunno:
