you can source a few S15s in the area Chad might be able to help you out with that as well, but expect to pay upwards of 20-25k for a registered one. If you don't have that kind of money on hand in full, you can always pick up an S14.

NWN periodically has US registered S15s, R32s and R33s for sale in their classifieds section.

ive been doing some research on importing skylines the only way your gona be able to drive a skyline or s15 legally is if its already registerd in the states, make sure to call DOT with the vin to make sure its federalized, if its not federalized and issued a legal vin, its technicly not legal to be driven on the streets. importing those cars now adays is practicly impossible unless your made of money. one more reason why this countries automobile policys are absolute garbage, europe has all the cool cars

There are some video games where you can buy them. I think some of the more recent Need for Speed games. Probably Gran Turismo, Forza, GRID... etc. Take a look.

Ohhh... you meant for real? LOL!!!



You see what I did there? Pretty frickin awesome huh?

If you actually have the money to buy one, and aren't some
dead beat broke *** kid with aspirations outweighing your income
you can talk to Bob at Drift Office in Auburn. He bought a licensed
and titled GTS-T R32 for "race and show", which is one of the only
legit ways to get cars never made in this country here legally.

Other than that you'll have to get a scammed car that registers
as something its not. Junked ones sell all the time all over WA
state, good ones you might need to arrange it be imported as
a show vehicle or as a kit (legal but.....).

If you're willing to pay costs for importation i can arrange that
through my wifes company, please keep in mind you will be at
the mercy of US inspection and regulation laws, but we have
brought several cars to Seattle prior.

Thanks but i was really looking for one that was already legally registered in the US cause i did not want to go through the whole process of legalizing it. I've been looking all over the net and every forum ever made and have not found anything. If i dont find anything in the US within the next week i'll just buy something else. I'd be willing to fly across country to pick it up but as far as importing it, thats not something i want to do. But thanks again for your suggestion.

The sneaky bastard..... Yeah I believe it though..... *sigh
Seems like no one thinks its worth the extra time and $$
to do it right anymore. The cars fairly well known also, I
hope he doesn't end up losing his "240SX"

No worries, just trying to help you get something legit, that won't bite
you in the *** later on in life. Nothings worse than having your pride
and joy in a crusher. It's depressing, lemme tell you from experience.

I'll keep my eyes out for you also and tell you if I come across anything
that's worth your time or troubles.

I need a new car. I dont really like any of the cars that are made these days. I have also been looking for a clean 00 civic si, 00 - 01 integra type r. I was originally going to get a 08-09 scion tc but they are everywhere here in the tri cities. I think my celica has a little more life left so if i cant find one of those 3 and my celica dies i'll probably just pick up the scion.

Wait you're thinking Integra or civic, and a TC?! Then you want an S15?? You do know there is absolutely no way to finance an S15 right. When we're talking 25k I'm talking all in cash all up front.

Any of those hondas are like 4-8k and the TC's are being given away at dealerships these days.

Sorry man you're car options seem a little skewed. Sorta like apples to oranges.

I dont need the financing if i find a silvia. but i have not found one so its not really that big of a deal. I was going to use it for my DD. I just thought if i posted it, people would know where to pick one up. not really big on doing the whole importing process. The silvia was the primary but those other 3 were options that i kept open. Yea they may be cheaper but its hard to find one thats stock and with a clear title. but like i said in the previous post i only posted help to find a silvia cause i knew those were the hardest to find.

as for the integra i only want a 00-01 type r with no more than 60k miles. Same with the 00 civic si. With that kind of mileage they are hard to find,but hey i'm picky when it comes to buying a car. as for the scion, those are everwhere and it will be my last resort.

Anyways, S15's as far as I know are harder to come by more so then Skylines. If you get an S15 ake pics of interior if you do. I want to know what it looks like.
