Yes it had ontario plates.. (White with blue letters) and it was a Skyline.. the whole right side driver and it looked just like that black one.. the front im not 100% on but the side and rest of the car im possitive. If you can buy kits for cars.. are there ones that transfer the driver to the right side?

It's not legal unless the car is 15 years or older. I don't understand why people are having a problem with this.

Any Skyline that you see on the street with ontario plates will be an R32, and nothing else.

actually, i'm pretty sure that if you come here as a student and have owned the (lets say) r34 for a certain period (1-3 yearss or something like that) you are allowed to plate the car here for as long as you are a student. you cannot sell the car though and must ship it back within a certain time period upon completion of school.
also i believe if you move here you can ship your car as well, but i think there are similar restrictions on how long you can keep it here (this one i am only 50% sure of).

i'm only about 70% sure of this, but i have seen some 2 year old euro cars that cant be imported... but have been and legally registered for these resons.

crazy_like_a_fox 06-02-2005 06:44 PM

yes there is an r32 in hamilton. its white, i see it all the time driving down queenston or sometimes down highway 8 in stoney creek. i'm pretty sure its a gts m. its a pretty sharp car, not fast but stilll..........its a skyline, its enough to make my head turn everytime i see it

dip 06-02-2005 11:30 PM

you can legally have any car in canada as a "promotional vehicle"
However it is limited to 12 months max, at which time the vehicle needs to be exported or it will be destroyed.
adn there are a lot of R32s running around T.O.
Not to mention a few preludes with R34 conversions, some ppl apparently cant tell the difference

f22turd 06-03-2005 12:37 AM

oh contraire notorius vr... there is ONE LOOP HOLE!! a very expensive one. but one indeed.... if you can find someone in japan, australia, whereever eles you can buy a car that you wantthats not available in canada, you can get someone to pull the car apart and ship it over in different boxes and have it assembled in canada. then it is a kit car. and legal. lots of money and risky. but legal.

Import Regulations and Restrictions

What vehicles can I import into Canada?
The current Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) and Transport Canada regulations state that we are only able to import used vehicles into Canada that are 15 years old or older based on the month and year the vehicle was manufactured. This applies to vehicles that do not have the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards compliance label affixed by the original manufacturer.

In general, JDM vehicles do not have the Canadian or U.S. compliance label. Thus, JDM vehicles must be 15 years old or older in order to import them into Canada.


Can I import newer vehicles that are less than 15 years old?
In general, the answer is no.

However, vehicles that are less than 15 years old, which have the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards compliance label affixed by the original manufacturer, can be imported into Canada.

Note that JDM vehicles generally do not have the Canadian or U.S. compliance label, and thus, must be over 15 years old to import. As a rule of thumb, if the vehicle is Right Hand Drive (RHD), it won't have the Canada nor U.S. compliance label.


Can I import a newer vehicle that are less than 15 years old if there was the same model type available in the U.S. or Canada?
In general, the answer is no. However, people have been known to disassemble the vehicle and bring it in and rebuild it together with a Canadian donor car.

However, vehicles that are less than 15 years old, which have the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards compliance label affixed by the original manufacturer, can be imported into Canada.

Note that JDM vehicles generally do not have the Canadian or U.S. compliance label, and thus, must be over 15 years old to import. As a rule of thumb, if the vehicle is Right Hand Drive (RHD), it won't have the Canada nor U.S. compliance label.


Can I import newer vehicles that are less than 15 years old for racing or promotional purposes only?
No.

An exemption does exist for importing sports racing vehicles that are less than 15 years old, but that exemption can only be applied to true race cars, such as a Formula 1 car.

Basically, if a vehicle was built by the manufacturer for the intent of being driven on public roadways, and/or if a vehicle had been registered at any time to be driven on public roadways, then the vehicle can not be deemed as a race vehicle and can not be imported, even if it's been modified to be a race car.


Can newer vehicles that were imported into the United States and modified for U.S. safety standards be imported into Canada?
The CCRA defines these vehicles as Grey Market Vehicles as stated in Memorandum D19-12-1. Grey market vehicles are foreign-specification vehicles that are re-certified by a United States company. They were originally manufactured for the domestic market of a foreign country and were subsequently imported into the United States where they have been modified to comply with the United States safety and emissions standards.

Grey market vehicles are ineligible for entry to Canada.


Is it easier/cheaper to import a vehicle into the United States after it's been imported into Canada?
It is not easier, and it is not cheaper.

All vehicles being imported into the United States must be imported by an licensed U.S. vehicle import business.

If the vehicle to be imported into the U.S. is less than 25 years old, it must be modified by an authorized U.S. business to meet the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. There are large costs associated with getting certain vehicles legalized for the United States. For example, you will find that the cost to get a Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32, R33, or R34) legalized in the U.S. is approximately $16,000 to $25,000 USD, depending the type and year of the Nissan Skyline.

You guys should look into the rules and regulations before you begin to shoot off your obstrusive info. This car can't come to Canada unless you have a high (VERY) high level of racing documentation or you have a rather large business in automotive industry. Even then this car won't be able. I wouldn't dare ship this car to Canada for it's not worth the time an aggrivation and or legal consequences.
