Motorex is the place that imports them. For a measly $80k you can get a clean new-ish R34 Skyline... the GTR starts around $120k iirc.

what i've heard is that motorex is no longer in the import business... and the r34 has never been able to be legalized in america. but some guy in florida managed to get one regestered...

They changed names and owners, but they're still doing business out of Long Beach. Plenty of Skylines running around SoCal thanks to them.

There are estimates of over 400 Skyline GT-R's in Canada and the United States... extremely rare, but not unlikely that you'd spot one!
