ill leave this here

great site for finding great cars

Since the OP is Cali, I'm assuming he's going to want to have it road legal here. Going through a direct importer is one step closer to that, and the one selling that R33 even helps with the CARB process (you still gotta pay CARB the fee though).

isn't it exempt now because of how old it is?

im a big fan of the r32 but i would probably do the r33 because the r32 has that r34 front end conversion.. would be nice if it was just all stock and not a fake r34..

Nope. Still would have to get it CARB'd and has to be legally imported.

Realistically, the R32 is the only one I’d spend my money on. The R33 is gross to me and the R34 is supremely overhyped. They’re good cars, but not worth the asking price in my opinion.

However, if you’re looking at the two cars specifically in the pictures, I’d go with the R33 because that’s Top Rank’s car; meaning you’d be working with Sean Morris and he is the ONLY person I’d trust my money with importing a vehicle. He’s been doing the import thing for years. Helped my Dad and Paul Walker with getting their R34s back during the Motorex days before the owner went rouge and the business went under.

Plus, he knows what it takes to get those cars CARB certified, so if you’re living in CA, I’d suggest buying with him 100%.

The best choice is to buy an R32 through Top Rank. CARB process for that car is around 10k I believe. But I think that’s the only Skyline GTR that’s actually worth the money.

whoever made that r32/34 frankenstein should be shot

The Bee*R R324 kit is rad. This is just a poor execution of it.

Nope. Still just looks like an R34 with down syndrome

Body kits weren't ever cool, even when they were cool. They're even less cool now. That's just atrocious.

Some are hilarious though!
We had an old Neon LE driving around here with a bad copy of the kit below for a year or so. Looked like it was held on by caulking and deck screws. The guy was sooooo proud of it though.

They all end up looking EXACTLT like that.
