**** yeah, it's not JDM if it doesn't have a grounding kit...
Everyone at the races has one, which is hilarious cause the car could be a bone stock Nissan March but it'll have a grounding kit on it..

the total price was €7500. With all taxes payed. Thanks for the comments guys. Its standard apart from a grounding kit and a vtec controller. Thinking about getting smaller, lighter wheels and some new suspension.

In Canada, you can import anything that's 15+ years old or something along those lines and register it as if it was a regular in Canada. Now, in the US, you can import the car over, but registering will be the main problem.

it more so has to do with the emissions rather then the suspension. i don't see what you would have to change the suspension. different countries have different emission laws and we are probably have some of the more strict laws and rules when it comes to emissions. that's why we don't ever get any of the cool cars state-side.

It's totally legal to import a foreign car as long as the car meets USDOT emissions standards. In the case of the R34 Skyline, USDOT for some reason would not release the necessary mods to do to the car in order to import it legally until Motorex struck a deal with them. Motorex went under due to drugs and other stuff, now the info is available.
