Some I was scrolling through nasioc and I saw this post: [quote=“xxxxxx”"] This is my current car, trying to sell it so I can pick up an STI 🍌 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/kurogasa/Skyline%20Stuff/DSC01913.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/0/a06e4d7985a9f83d3c51e979c2c29297c5ee4121.jpeg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/kurogasa/GTR%20Photoshoot/DSC09056Edit1.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/f/a/fac4c17be46c2887f9a8f50ba1a1d8673d4d5814.jpeg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/kurogasa/GTR%20Photoshoot/DSC09231Edit1.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/7/8/78d4af239b1ec72b65044e7363f37226ee881e32.jpeg) [/quote] Funny thing is not more than 5min later I get a pm from this guy asking about a possible trade for my 04 sti. All I know of the car is that its obv a black 1991 Skyline GTR, right hand drive. Thats all I know and he is supposed to send me more details. But my question is would you do it? Especially because its coming from Canada(I think it is, NOT fully sure) and I know the whole issues with Skylines here plus it is a R32. ---

in canada, they consider classics 15yrs…we consider 25yrs…so in canada they can have whatever car they want 10yrs sooner than us. you can register this car in the US in 2016. ---

people do vin swaps all the time, youd probably get away with it, no one knows what a gtr is around here, i had no idea that was a gtr when i looked at the pic, im used to the other ones, i would NOT recommend a vin swap, but if ya really want the car thats up to you ---
