Impossible, it's a unibody car.

Forget about street driving, would this be ok to buy and keep in collection or track? Or would they try to take regardless?

Amen, brew. I have an old Video Option from like, 2001 -- there was some guy with a punch perm and mustache that took his C34 on the track. He had a heat-wrapped uppipe from the headers running through the glove box and into straight pipe out of his passenger door. No joke!

they're all illegal, even the ones that members on here may or may not own, motorex ruined it for everybody, someone here is also having a hard time registering a nsx-r that he may or may not have imported.. haha

I say that members on this board do not own something. or maybe they do?

Either way illegal. Even if you think about owning one

@Ryan, only the Japanese would have ***** to do that.

Full disclosure is available for review:NHTSA-update.pdf"

That is from the link I provided and I've done some research on it because I'm interested in getting one sometime down the road. The R33's can be modified LEGALLY to be safe on our roads. Things like seat brackets, headlight bulbs and houseing and a ton of other things need to be changed though. Motorex was one of the few companies that did it legit.
Sorry you are wrong. MOtorex was the only one to do it legally. They only tested R33s

where is the BARF guy that owns one?

Aaron where are you???
The biggest reason why they are illegal is because of Mercedes Benz.

how did they get past CARB? None of the legal ones I saw back in the day were registered in CA they were out of state.
