    Not the biggest fan of the exterior but the interior and under the hood are very nice especially the center console.

    You managed to get it registered in the US? Some time ago, I got a Skyline GT-R from Japan, and found it basically impossible to register it in the US - I ended up importing it into Canada and was driving it on British Columbia license plates.

    It was a '97 R33, and this was in about 2002 - so 5 years old at the time, I guess - certainly a lot less than 25...

    Speaking strictly legally, it didn't get into the country - it was landed at Seattle and then stuck in the shipper's bonded store because it was becoming increasingly obvious that I wasn't going to be able to get the necessary documents to release it. So it got stuck in to a consolidation shipment with some other goods that were going to Canada and sent out (by truck) in a container under customs seal. That caused a bit of confusion, too - it had arrived by road from the US, but all the documents (correctly) said that the country of origin was Japan. Eventually it was all sorted out, the duties paid and the car legally registered in BC - at which point I just drove it over the border at Blaine and took it to Seattle. The only problem was that at that time driving around in an R33 V-Spec GT-R was a great way to get stopped by the cops, although it seemed that really they just wanted to ask about the car.

    Very low kms for a 1UZ motor, I got a 1998 1UZFE vvti motor a few years ago to put in my Hilux but I ended up giving the car and engine away!

    Nice! Very mint inside I must say.

    It's uncommon to see the Celsior model, genuine at that. Not a badge swap.
