the US is gay when it comes to the skyline. something to do with a lot of changing the way things were made on it and safety regulations. Canada can get them. it is possible to get one in the US, though i havent seen one or heard of one legally registered in the USA.

technically it isnt their first turbo engine, they had turbo motorcycles back in the early 90's, maby their first turbo car engine.

I have over 180,000 miles on my 96 Esccort, daily driven boosted with a horse-*** tune and it's never left me stranded or given me problems from being turbo'd. Granted it's a very basic low boost non-intercooled, but still fun to drive.

I used to work in a place, to have a R32 here and registered was about 15,000. BTW I was the only one that knew how to do it legally . Most of the time people will vin swap it to register it.
