So It seems we have another real st205 in the states. There is a local shop around here that is known for importing cars. A few weeks ago they brought over a black gtfour with the original 3 spoke wheels (from what ive been told). I called them up today, and verified this story, however they informed me that the car was sold about 2 weeks ago. Seems another shop just a few blocks from them bought the car. They said that if I stop buy they could have the other shop bring the car over for me to check out, so I'll try to get some pics of it.

The guy also mentioned that there are two more in a lot in japan that he is thinking of importing. He's asking price is around 14grand.

What are they imported under and are they going to be street legal....

Is it completely stock? That's pretty damn awesome...IDK about 14 grand, but that's sweet. Then again, he probably spent just that much on the import I'm guessing.

No clue. Ill get more details when I go visit the shop.
But this place is well known for importing skylines, evo6s and other rare cars. So they have a way to bring them over. He mentioned that the only reason he didnt bring one before was because he didn't think there was much of a demand for it.

I think its stock. Supposed to have the fugly (super rare) oem 3 spoke wheels on it.
14k might seem like a lot of money for most of the younger guys on this site, but its totally worth it for a real gt4. Had the gt4 been sold in the states, that would probably be its resale value now.

True. Like I said, he probably spent that or more just to get it here.

I'd rock it fo sho.

awesommeeeee! I thought it couldn't be done, according to my interpretation of the US import laws, something like 25yrs or older no?

Well however they did it, this is great news! NOW i just need to save a few more grand

Hey guys how about how that guy imported the gtfour over here thats sounds crazy right. But my friend works for his dad shop that makes cabinets and stuff for houses. And next door there is a shop that has imported a rhd rear wheel drive Nissan Skyline as he has registered it as a modified 240sx. So i guess it is possible you just have to know the people and have the money of course but importing a gtfour over here would be a dream!! just wouldnt want super strut suspension on it...

It would just be a bitch if you got pulled over...either a fake registration, or they'd bust it as an illegal car.

is the shop in philly? i heard of a new shop in NJ that is importing

Its a Philly shop. Six miles from my house. Who knew?

Art, what are the shops you're speaking of?? Just curious about who's doing what in my old stomping grounds.

Thats Awesome. More info would be great.

so.. is that gt-four #5 or #6 imported to the US?

Its a place called JDM Motorsportz located on N 2nd street in Philly.

If this is true, and he's bringing them in such that they can go on the street legally....i'd def. be in the market for one.

I'd take one as well. Group buy haha. That's if it's street legal.

Clean body udsm celica $2000-4000
3S swap $4-5000
AWD $$$
GT-4 front $1300
Paint $3000

$14K should be on the low side. ahah

those 3 awsome 3 spoke wheels arnt rare. they are the factory wheel for series 1 (and all Group A Rallye/WRC cars).

good that you fellas are gettin the real deal. Hope they can be made street legal, is the steerer on the correct side or your LHS?

They are imported from japan, so the steering is RHD.
The 3 spokes are rare because I dont think anyone from the usa has ever seen a set in person.
