FS: 1997 NISSAN GTR R33 SKYLINE (Silver on Black) - $49,000

[Mark_Dorman]

Rare opportunity to own a 49 State Legal 1997 Nissan Skyline GT-R (Sonic Silver)!!!



This is a very low mileage 1997 Nissan Skyline GT-R series 3 “Kouki” with red interior stitching and oem Nissan projector Xenon head lights in excellent condition. The vehicle was purchased in Chiba, Japan in 2003. It was properly imported by Motorex into the US with a full bond release from NHTSA, DOT and EPA with a reissued US vin. This is a US legal Motorex car. This vin number exists in the NHTSA, DOT and EPA database. You can call the NHTSA/DOT Vehicle Importation & Certification Department to verify (202) 366-5291.

The current mileage is 13,200 km that is about 8,200 us miles. You can register this vehicle in any state except California or you can drive it with a California Dealer Plate.

This car just had a major service using only Nissan oem fluids, spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump, new tires, alignment, A/C super cold...etc.

I have all the service receipts, Bond release documents, Epa papers and Title in hand. Back in 2006 the vehicle was hit on the driver side rear quarter panel and the owner declared the car salvaged in Delaware, but it was professionally fixed and the car drives perfectly straight. Complete car has been tack welded for strength and perfect alignment. I have kept this vehicle in its 1997 factory form as much as possible. This car is located in Southern California. Serious buyers only (low ball offers will be ignored and no local joy rides).

Mods:

Apexi N1 Racing Exhaust

Racepipe

Nismo Floor Mats


Asking price is $49,000

Vin: BCNR33041611

Look who's popular.

Why can't the car be registered in CA? It was originally sold to a person who titled and registered the car in CA, so why can't it be done again?

this reminds me of why i don't like california.

Beautiful car! Man I would have bought this if it was up a month ago but just bought a supra.

The reason why it can't be registered in CA is because this car was imported (to Motorex in CA who was probably the importer) and doesn't comply with the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, since they were never sold here in the US therefore never tested.
Anything 25 years or older (after manufacturing date) do not need to comply with the USFMVSS and therefore can be registered in CA.

edit:
CA has EPA emissions that are stricter than federal law. The car being registered still has to pass CA EPA emissions unless the car is older than 1975 (which won't be the case for this GTR).

SMOG issues I'd guess.


Or run it with a dealer plate - that's what the OP likely does.

Good idea to sell now before they are legal, once that happens the price will tank...
