lol, but they're called 'skylines' in japan :p besides the g35 is supercharged and making well over 400whp also. yeah, this wasn't an exclusive meet. my buddy recently picked up the r33 and decided to get together for a small shoot :)

edit: the g35 has 557rwhp 563rwtq

[LoneWolf2]

how'd the r34 get legalized?

[n1nj4 m0d3]

^not sure. i know he paid a lot of pretty pennies for it though. his previous cars were a r32, r33, and a silvia, now he has this. let's just say microsoft pays him well :)

[powerslave]

+11 :D

[Phenix3st]

nice r34 and just classic with the bronze volks

[BCDH]

That R34 is gorgeous. I WILL own one some day. *sigh* Someday.

[lambocars]

Nice shots, too bad about the background in that last shot, but you can't always pick your location now can you ...

Would love to see more of these cars around here in Europe, but they are very scarce where I live.

[Subie J]

Redmond town center?

I've seen the R34 many times.

[24alpha]

Nice shots! I love GT-Rs!

[matdrift]

GR-R~~~~ it would be complete if there's one GTR35 :D

[dudemanppl]

I didn't know Bill Gates had imports!

[MLphoto]

the R34 is amazing, i wish i could own one... problem is they're not street legal here.

[Kraig C]

Bill gates can get ALMOST anything street legal, even while adding more HP and smog legal... I've seen r32's on the streets of Sanjose.. right hand drive too..

[DisrupTer911]

lol no he can't. no amount of money will allow the DOT to turn their head.

there are several imported GTRs here in the states thanks to Motorex. cept Motorex got in major trouble and many got stolen, trashed, crushed, and the ones that survived were given "immunity" into the country.

[Radders]

No engine shots?!

[Cole_Schmitt]

Oh Lord I want a R34. If only they made them LHD :(

[cb1]

Nice cars

[ThePhotographerX]

Nice shots, nice cars. I know a few people that own skylines r32-r34, from what iv heard you do have to pay a lot of money to get them here, and the way they do it, is register them as 240sx or silvia, they part them out and then put it back together, complicated.//

[JDMist3hFastar]

only one word...envy

[t5Nitro]

Don't need to be Bill Gates. My friend is 19 and just ordered a brand new GT-R. Should be to him by middle of November. :)

Dedicated penny saver though. haha.

Awesome cars!

[JoeyBowman]

Great series of images on the link you gave to FlickR. I have always thought that skylines had a lot to offer to a photographer compared to a lot of sports cars.

[Kraig C]

I think he was the one that had some very expensive cars sent to DOT crash testing, that the MFG's would not submit them selfs, because they loved them too much to have them crashed.. He may have had something to do with getting the porsche 959's legalized with the help of Bruce Canepa.

[marcus769]

Nice clean cars.. Thanks for sharing!

[oskire]

Very nice.

[DLag]

My dream car!


t5Nitro, your friend is 19 and ordered a GTR?? typo?

LOL throwback, sorry your about 5 years too late...

[tt350z]

I know they got shut down.

Some people just asked how he got them into the states.

The Op never said how it got here.

Just stating that there was a company that did import them.

[RadAL]

some states, like Florida don't have very stringent emissions testing or controls...

[DxHatchback]

One R34 for me please.

[jeremycliff]

beautiful cars. I'm hoping to shoot a local R34 sometime soon, we will see what happens. I'd love to own a r32/33/34/35 someday haha.

[sigma pi]

That is correct

The only legal ones are R33s

the R34s that came in as a "kit car" are in hiding from ICE right now.

[samurairx7]

this is why i rarely go to the transportation treads it makes me feel depressed... beautiful cars!!!

[DL.Photography]

More of the r33 and G35 please. =D

[JoeyBowman]

I went years with out ever seeing a "real" skyline. Then all of a sudden last year some random guy that buys and sells mustangs and muscle cars randomly had 6 Supras, an RX-7 and an R32 skyline and a few weeks later a local import car lot had an R33. Beautiful cars.


Love looking at photos of them as well, I would love to see an R34 one day. I like those GTR's that they sell now too, but they just dont like the same as the older ones.

[Dimer]

I love the R34 in white!!


Nice shots, too bad about the background in that last shot, but you can't always pick your location now can you ...

Here they are more popular then a Scooby.... seriously if you come to a regular meeting, you will see a few dozen Skylines..

[JHutch]

I would do anything for that r34. Nice cars
