Hello everyone. I'm thinking of buying me a r35 gtr. I'm not to far off the coast for Florida and my biggest decision is to buy a US one or a JDM one. The little I know and from looming on YouTube is the JDM ones have a speed limiter, but I can buy a limiter elimanator from hks or a few more vendors.

What would you guys recommend.? Like what year is best. I'm not looking for the older set, but if I'm right the set from 13 to 16 I believe they come with about 550 hp. I really don't want to do anything to it but just some simple bolt ons. Is there anything I should know about these cars before getting one.

No it doesn't matter. All I have here is right hand drives. It's not the state's I was just referencing to how close it was. Right hand drive cars are allowed here. Isn't the US cars/modles have emosion control that robs power.?

JDM R35 isn't federal legal FYI.

Yeah I was going to ask if it falls under the 25 year rule?

that said the OP has an R33 GTST, and when I was driving to Portland a few weeks ago I saw another R33 GTS-T driving on the motorway... state to fed dmv don't necessarily talk/know what they're doing

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
