Importing a GT4 (Revisited) Options

[K12UDE]

If there was enough interest I might be able to lay my hands on a few GT4’s & maybe a GT4 WRC or 2 & get them over to the US.

That GT4 racing the 911 race car is Tony's from Fensports if memory servers me correct that car is something else you should see the spec of it!!!!

did a little research. The only way a GT4 could be imported, is if....

1. Toyota of Japan signs a legal paper saying that the GT4 model year will pass safety standards and present crash test data for the model year. Unlikely imho.

2. The vehicle must be a pre-1996 unless you plan to install OBDII on it. Very expensive.

3. Since the vehicle doesn't have the OK from EPA and the DOT, you'll have to get a RI (registered importer) to make a petition for the vehicle to be imported in good intrest.

The only thing the GT4 has in common with the GT USDM is the name. The engine used was never made in the US. The drivetrain is unlike no US model. And of course its RHD.

According to DOT, the only RHD Japanese vehicle that has fully been made street legel (underline street) is the Skyline GTS GTR 1990-1999.

I say goodluck, but guys...dont hold your breath.
