Feds Seized Johnny Tran's Fleet and Now the Cars are on Auction
#15
Even if you stash a R34 in the US and wait for the 25 year mark, its still crushable afterwards b/c it was brought on US soil before its legal date of entry.  This is why US owners are storing cars in Japan & Canada waiting for that 25-year date before shipping.

MotoRex had federal approval from the NHTSA to sell R33 (and only R33) GT-R's after retrofitting side impact beams and crash testing them.  They then pretended the approval also applied to R32 & R34 cars (that weren't modified for safety) and got caught.  ~13 R34 GT-R's were sold via this ploy before they got shut down & the feds let the owners keep them.  These are the ONLY federally legal R34 GT-R's in the country currently.  One of the 13 was the 2F2F hero car, also owned by Craig Lieberman that he bought after selling his Supra.  Its back to its original black paint & lives in Colorado.

All other R34's in the US currently are state titled and illegal/crushable under federal law if caught.  No ifs ands or buts.  99% of modern Skyline variants are also illegal & denied via the Show & Display exemption.
