The first 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R, to legally enter the country under the 25 year rule. For more information on the 25 year rule please read my post at [MotoIQ](http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticles/ID/3198/Vehicle-Importation-Understanding-the-25-Year-Old-Rule.aspx). Congratulations to Trevor. He had all his ducks in a row, and had no hold ups.

GTR’s are not legal till August. So if he brought one in the customs agent was not paying attention. It’s by date of manufacture, and GTR’s were not made till August '89. You can bring in regular R32’s though. Delta’s have been legal since mid last year though. ---
