You can import a race car. BUT you have to show it is a real race car.

you need to have a log book issued by either SCCA to be track only. A DMV non operating tag will not work.

Because racecar

This guy and I are friends with the guy that knows the GTR stuff

Life Plaza use to race against him from what I remember. They were crew cheifs on opposing team. I think Life Plaza ran an RX8 back then and GTR guy was running an R34 super taiku in some speed challenge.

Eventually every i-club thread derails to a "import a GTR" argument. Some just get off to a head start.

Thats what I said.. I thought motorex was the people that were doing it legally, heedz whoever else so far, have said otherwise. It's all those other import companies that were importing the r34s, dropping the drivetrain and saying its "parts" that screwed it all up.
