Post banter as usual, and I don't want to be that guy but the Supra one was never solved, though it seems that popular theory is the guy was lying and headed for Dodge never to be seen again.
This is one of them, a 1980 Camaro t-top. She still need some work done and I'm trying to get a LS3 in her and give her some better parts so she can corner.

You say that's your friend's car and that they are going to put a 350 crate engine in it
You also claim to own an Evo 8, that you put alot work into.....

How about the R32 ?
Why wouldn't you have updated your Deviantart page to say you own the Camaro though and that you were going to put a Supercharged LS3 in it?
I mean the page must be important to you if you list it as your homepage.
All this at the age of 20 how do you do it? Glad someone has remembered seeing all this, cause I recall seeing them myself and just waiting.
Did a back run on the serial number and found out it was a GT-S.
Going to junk yards to see what I can find and asking around for any used parts.
GTS ? Why would someone import a GTS ( NA RB20DE or RB25DE ), or you mean GTS-4 ?
The only reason I can think of is that they were wanting to make a RWD drift car, but that's pretty stupid to be honest.GTS ? Why would someone import a GTS ( NA RB20DE or RB25DE ), or you mean GTS-4 ?
Who goes to the trouble of illegally importing a Skyline and only brings in a GT-S?
Yeah, seems kinda fishy. I'm currently looking into either a TT setup or a supercharger for my car and let me tell you, they are VERY expensive, especially for someone in their 20's. I could see if that was the only thing you spent your money on for this car, or atleast one of the only things, but from what I'm getting at, it seems as if you have a boatload of performance mods put into this car, and don't even get me started on the imported Skyline...I didn't realise they left supercharged 650+hp engine components in junkyards, let alone the parts to a JDM Giant...
It's certainly a cheaper alternative if you really want a Skyline... or something different as a drift car. Lots of them have been brought over.
I was thinking this too. Someone must have really wanted it, or thought it was a GT-R...
Just simply acquire a can of baked beans and this can be resolved pretty quickly.If you want more than message me.

Having more than one account is something that will get you banned here, and yes the staff can easily find it out.
I wouldn't exactly say "lots", certainly some. I've seen a couple at car shows. But doesn't mean they're legal here until they've met the collector/historic mark by I believe NHTSA
I thought I heard R32 Skyline are now legal for import in the US ( 25 years rule or something )
Yep, and this kind of action only undermines his claim further.This is him isn't it?
Odd that you'd join it twice then, really...Its nice to join a community and the first thing to be seen are people whom go out of their way and attack other member.
Yep. He said it was a 1993 one.I thought I heard R32 Skyline are now legal for import in the US ( 25 years rule or something ) 1991 and older should be legal ?

Lots is a bit of an exaggeration I'll admit, it looks to be a fair number if I look at an importer such as Japanese Classics who seemingly bring more of them in than GT-R's, they even other lower trims too. I didn't say anything about it's legality, the Skyline in question is definitely not legal.
The Skyline spoken of is a '93, not there yet.
