Are you selling this? If not it shouldn't belong in the For Sale area.

99% sure it is since this has an AZ title and so did the one i remember seeing prior, in the same color.

It's got AZ title...i think this might be the one that found it's way into the US via Mexico in some weird loophole?

A state title doesnt mean its federally legal. that shit is grey market as fuck and even if he only uses it as a track car it can still be taken by the gov't

I don't pretend to know anything about how that process works, just that the process by which to even get it into the country sounded lengthy and expensive.

Couple years ago I heard the DOT got wind of 4-5 local skylines that were titled as 240sx's, and those cars were seized. I haven't heard of a single person talk about a R34 skyline since, lol.

Again, I'm just assuming this is the same car, but I feel like that's a safe assumption

Edit: And here it is again, from back in April when it went to auction: http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-ne...will-be-auctioned-at-palm-beach-ar168880.html

(Street legal according to article)

 

[airjor13]

This car has been around the block

Gray market cars can be brought into the US and made legal however it is a lengthy process.
I have done a couple many moons ago.
You can also register them with the DOT for off road use only.
