Eventually every i-club thread derails to debate the importation of the R32, some just get a head start.

Because he moved to a condo is a reason to get rid of something that obviously was a TON of work? I don't know what his other "fun" cars are, but clearly he has the money to have some interesting cars if he can do that to an RS... At the same time, if I were to build something like that, it would not be going up for sale until I had driven it for a long time. Clearly not selling it because he needs the money.

But seriously though, its obviously more than an RS with a used motor swap. I can totally see how he dropped 35k into all this build, thats also why he should just hang onto it. never going to get anywhere near his money back.

that all said, instead of dropping $21k into a fake JDM car, I would just wait till next year to get a NHTSA legal 25 year old R32 from Canada.

Lookie, heres one now for $15k

R32 Skyline GTR

C33 Laurel is bettah!!!!

or at least find me a 4 door GTS-T

I think this is a slightly different case than have a few JDM parts on a car and trying to pass it off as JDM. He's not trying to fool anyone and disclosed every detail regarding the build. It seems he replaced or upgraded EVERY part on the chassis...and he also states he has everything for RHD conversion including the firewall. So I think it is more than "just another swapped RS", but it is also not a "true JDM" car either. May be he would have been better off calling it a clone than Ver 4 STI...I don't know...

Regardless...Call it what you want to call it, but the work performed on that car is bad ***ing a$$...buyer definitely wouldn't be chasing mechanical/electrical gremlins from USDM/JDM mismatching. I can definitely appreciate this build.
