importing a R34
is there no possible way to bring the new R34's into canada? i was talking to some guy he said you can ship it by parts and assemble it here but its gonna be really weak frame and mounting or something. Anyone know if its possible.. i never seen one in canada, not even un registered ones at shows.

I'm sure you COULD bring one over here but you couldnt register it legally for the roads. The minimum age to import a car is 15 years and an R34 unfortunately doesnt meet that. And you can't do a firewall swap (like the RHD Pheonix Yellow ITR) because R34's were never sold here.
