Internally called RB26DETT, Nissan developed the engine with touring car races in mind and was intentionally an over-engineered piece of hardware. A coveted item, Nissan's RB26 engine is nothing short of a masterstroke when it comes to sophistication and longevity. It goes without saying that this 2.6L straight-six motor played a significant role in giving these cars their legendary status. Nissan made use of the RB26 engine in the R32 and R33 Skyline GT-Rs, while a reworked version was used in the R34. The inline-six turbo displaces 2.5L and puts out around 280 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. If you didn’t know, the RB25DET is a factory-turbocharged version of the RB25DE, another favorite among tuners. It has equally good, if not better, tunability, excellent reliability, and an intoxicating engine note. Or an MNP2 VSpec1.Often overshadowed by the mighty RB26, the RB25 is nothing short of an engineering marvel itself. Get an M-Spec Nur for 150k+ and import under the Show and Display box.

Like I have said every time, if you have the money, anything can be done. I've seen actual R34s imported as race cars and your average R34 is not going to pass muster. You need a letter from Nissan or Nismo that your car is a dedicated race car. You're not importing a production R34 as a racecar. No, what I am talking about is race exemption. Paul Walker's R34 was imported by Motorex under VCP-17. This is a production car in the eyes of the law. It's not legal to disassemble a car and import it in parts then assemble it again.

So in spite of the fact that I posted actual legal code, I guess since you are the de facto "expert" on the subject, you simple statement of "its illegal" takes precedence over mine, despite the fact that there are plenty of examples out there, from private vehicle collectors to Paul Walkers R34 that he bought after the movie and is actually TITLED in Flordia. A) You don't lie and smuggle shit, cause that is a law they are paid to enforce no matter what the contraband is, and B) Those cars don't hit the street.īeyond that, if you want an R34 to trailer to car shows or drive on tracks, its actually fairly straightforward to get the whole car in one piece if you have the money and connections. In the end, the feds care about 2 things. In the end, you get a kit car that can be essentially a "replica" of the R34 GTR. Then the shop can build an r34 engine to spec, and import it without issues. However, if you get a shop to take an OEM chassis and modify it somehow for a "kit build", you can import it without issues. If you strip an r34 down to the motor and import the chassis, then its not legal.

However if the parts constitute a disassembled vehicle or an approximate disassembled vehicle, the combination is considered a motor vehicle under the Clean Air Act. The production, sale and importation of vehicle parts (engines, transmissions, chassis, vehicle bodies, etc.) are not regulated by EPA because parts are not considered motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act. A motor vehicle from which the engine has been removed is still a motor vehicle and is not considered a body. EPA form 3520-1 is not required for imported automotive bodies. The production, sale and importation of automotive bodies alone (i.e., no chassis, engine or transmission) are not regulated by EPA since such units are not considered "motor vehicles" under the Clean Air Act.
