R33 Skyline walk around (pro photos)

Just some fun with an old favorite of mine.

This is a 98 Series 3 Skyline. Still drives well, could almost be sold today.

Great photos! I love the R33. I feel like it gets such little love but now that its legal to import to the US I hope to see them around a little more like the R32.

Its really unfortunate to see our governments stance on the imported cars though and everything that is happening with the Florida based importer and the vehicles it sold. (https://www.thedrive.com/news/44825/...illegal-titles)

The 25-year rule is silly isn't it? If it's for safety, do the cars suddenly become safer after 25 years? And to waste time going after this when so many other problems exist in the world…

The 25 year rule has nothing to do with safety. It has to do with protecting dealers from people buying identical cars for lower prices overseas and then importing them to the country (although I'm not sure this pricing issue is really an issue anymore)

The dealers lobbied for it sure, but the EPA and NHTSA required any car sold here to be fully tested, which became too expensive for grey market importers. "Safety" is the reason, big air quotes.
