I love how excited Americans get when they see an R34 GT-R. it always amuses me.
IF only you guys got that excited about mustangs.... baabhahahhaha
Adam LZ omg hahahaha
Adam LZ then we'd all look like bellends 😂
Adam LZ a Mustang coming for you in the crowds
Adam LZ australia also has heaps of mustangs 😎
here i am, 4 years later. and Adam has a r34 v-spec
Midnight purple too
Hello
not a spec II tho :(
I’m here 6 years later and this 75k$ car is now 150k$ 😂
@@RazeEdge and even now are legal :D... :(
Americans get excited seeing a GT-R. While me in Malaysia, we got thousand of R34 and R35 but we rarely have a muscle car in here.
Joehie Ashraffi tak jugak bro, skrang dah makin bnyak muscle car masuk dalam malaysia👌🏿
they will ship overseas if you find the right car place
Same dude
Where is the thousand??!! Are you kidding me?
I'm moving to Malaysia i guess 😏
2016 Adam: I hope one day I can own an r34
2020 Adam: should I paint my r34 engine bay midnight purple😁
the fact that you even seeing it in person make me 10000000x more jelly
Aces _43 we've had three or four here in Nashville lol they come the cars n coffee
EODx NINJAx but how like wont they be fully legal in like 2 or 3 years?
Aces _43 they won't be legal until 2024
Thewasteland dam ill be 24 with its legal time to start saving money
Aces _43 come to new york or go to Florida lol they're not too uncommon. You can own then depending on the state
Get one of these when you can. Fuck the R35 like everybody else has.
Connor I would rather have r35,it does everything way better.
Officer Pulaski It does everything for you*
That car is a computer on wheels. It's no fun. I drove a r35 once in Vegas and it got boring after a few hours, I drove my homies R34 GTR (in my pic) and I didn't want to leave. I was wishing I had my car in Vegas to cruise the strip and desert with rather than the GTR. You'll never get bored of rowing gears in a 500+hp car
Dabovat Gaming good fuck off they don't need you
Connor Agree
the r35 is nothing compared to this tbh
I cant believe how far you’ve come! First driving this car to now owning your own midnight purple GTR. So proud of how far you’ve come adam :)
I just love how respectful Adam is. Constantly asking if he can push the car a little harder or not. Mad props man :)
dude did not look like he wanted you to be driving it
Maybe he just needed to poop
Should I Get It
Hubert Lana ?
He's probably nervous given that the feds could impound this in a second lol
LSX StreetCars you're an idiot, it's a street legal car.
Adam LZ and Chris Fix should do a drifting video, or car video in general, together.
Tyler Bynes chris fix should fix his damn 240 hahaha
Tyler Bynes ikr they reall should
Tyler Bynes Chris fix should upload more
yessss
cmpondeck yeah I agree
FOR US CITIZENS & LEGAL RESIDENTS LOOKING TO IMPORT AN R34:
As many others have mentioned, 2023 is the year to import the early model R34 coupes and sedans; 2024 for the BNR34 (GT-R). If the US government discovers a non-compliant car being used on US roads, they may send the owner a letter notifying them that their car has been found to be non-compliant and that they must (1) export their car within a certain period of time or (2) surrender their car to the government. If the government is not feeling so generous, they will seize the car without warning. Those who merely possess and drive a non-compliant car are rarely prosecuted nowadays. Those who purposefully distribute non-compliant cars are much more likely to be prosecuted.
"But what about the one in the video?"
As he mentioned at 2:28, "the car is state titled and insured in Florida." This translates to, "it is not federally legal (like a Motorex or Rivsu car), as it has no bond-release or any other documentation confirming its compliance with EPA regulations and FMVSS."
Black Ops Performance imports many cars illegally, and they sell them at prices similar to cars sold by Motorex 15 years ago. They are located in Florida, which is the illegal import capital of the United States.
"How did they get it registered?"
Florida has many private titling and registration agencies that do virtually nothing to check the legality of the car. As long as you pay the titling and registration fees, the car will be registered. Florida is not the only state with such DMV regulations, but it is the most well-known.
"How did they import that GT-R in the first place?"
Many illegal importers forge 7501s when importing non-compliant cars. Customs often does not have the time to check, obviously. However, they have been known to approve many non-compliant cars without a Registered Importer. A few years ago, an S15, with its original VIN, was approved by Customs without requesting a bond by an RI. If you know where to look, you can find a digital copy of the very form tied to the S15 that was approved by Customs.
It is not clear if the cars imported by Black Ops Performance include valid Customs documentation.
"What is the legal status of a non-compliant car with a valid Customs approval, such as that particular S15?"
A non-compliant car with a valid Customs approval is technically legal to own in the US. However, it is not legal to be used on US roads. In other words, you can keep it on your own property or in your garage (away from the government's prying eyes) for as long as you want, but you cannot register it for use on public roads.
"Would I be able to trailer it to my local track and drive it there?"
Although this would actually be a violation of the Clean Air Act, it is never enforced because enforcing the Act in such a manner is near impossible. For example, RB-swapped 240s violate the Clean Air Act, but there is no viable way to enforce the Act upon those 240 owners because DMVs usually do not keep records on which cars have been motor-swapped. Because the non-conforming car would not be in any DMV database, there is no direct way for the US government to find the owner and seize the car. Not only that, but illegal cars being used on public roads pose more of a threat in the eyes of the government than illegal cars on closed courses.
"So then when the car becomes 25 years old, I can take it out of my garage and register it no problem, right?"
No. It is only exempt if it is 25 years old (to the month) at the time of import. It cannot be exempt if it is already in the country. In such a case, the engine and transmission must be removed from the body, and separated from each other, and all three must be exported to Canada individually. Simply trying to export the car as a whole through the Canadian border could result in seizure by Customs. The car must then be reassembled and driven (or trailered) over the US border with all proper import documents: HS-7, EPA 3520-1, Customs 7501.
Moral of the story: settle for an R32 or wait 7 more years for the R34 and avoid the headaches.
A great write up Robert, thank you for that. As an American living in Tokyo now, I am thinking to buy an R34 here soon while they are relatively cheap (prices for all GTRs jumped a little when the R32s became legal to import in the US).
Robert DeMeo btw I am 9 right now and I will be 16 when it's 2024 and I will have a s2000 and buy a r34
i live in tokyo too, 34Rs start at $50K and go over 100k for the higher specs, cant really say they are affordable tho
Robert seems to have a lot of spare time.
My boy Robert! back at it again with them knowledge.
DUDE THERES THIS GUY ALSO NAMED ADAM WITH A MOUSTACHE AND ITS A MIDNIGHT PURPLE 3 R34
The average person doesn't see a "911 with a wing", they see a "Porsche with a wing."
More like just a Porsche or even worse, just a sports car
sports car with a big, dangerous, unnecessary wing
cmpondeck Porsche with a spoiler
Adding to my original comment, the wing is actually making the car safer by producing downforce on the car, improving handling at high speeds.
And drag....for that extra stopping power.
federally that car is not legal, I'm sure there is some loophole they went through... however in case you guys were wondering, these are now LEGAL for import into Canada, and a few are popping up already.
BackYardTuning 1999 R34's have been legal for almost 3 years now. You see them more often then you'd think you would.
I never said exactly how long r34s have been legal in Canada, but yep... almost on the 3rd year now.... too bad they fetch 60+k on the low end
You couldn't insurer or register an ilegal car anyway
I'm just wondering if they're crazy expensive here like they are down there. They're talking about $75k but I see R34's for sub $10k up here.
R34 gt25 start at 10 k in Australia . The guy was talking about r34 Gtr costing 75 k , which is min in Australia
I love r34's. This one is so cleannnn! it's poster worthy lol.
another reason to buy a r34 boys
SARAH JESSIE-ANN In all honesty all the r34's are poster worthy because if you are able to buy one you shoulf have the money to make it clean asf!
sarah jessie-ann I didn’t know the skyline was born in the 90s she don’t look that old. It looks like it was out in 2001 or 2002. Bruh the skyline is 1999 and it does not look old. It looks like really new.
Damn they still have custom parts? That makes it sexier to the car.
Everyones fav Skyline is the R34, but mine is the R32, the original Godzilla 😍
Those are illegal in my state but I still see them haha
Might be just an r32 with bodykit :/ many people do that
@@EliasWEC that's true I've seen a few r32's with an r34 front
@@EliasWEC yeah in my country (the netherlands) there are some r33 with body kit's for sale now.

Those cars unbeatable 😍😍
Love them 👌🏼👌🏼
I'm doing full conversion on R34 GTT to R34 GTR at the moment in my garage for one of my client.
I just released two episodes for the work I'm doing on it🏎️🏎️
that guy looked so uncomfortable with you driving that car ahahaha
H e D o e s n ‘ t W a n t T o D i e
At 5:01, his face says it all, he wishes to smack that guy in the face or chuck him out the window
Ford Falcon HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
The car is small
#dontcrashmysh!t
So weird watching this video when this is the normal side for the driver to be on in my country.
Ben Price same
Ben can you give me some gp ?
Ben Price my titties are hard
I'm in Canada and I see these things all the time!
Ben Price Australia? uk? japan? where?
2019 and he has a midnight purple III R34 GTR V-spec
And didnt he say he finds it boring?
@@captiancrayola5126 If he said that he would be referring to the low power output of it
@@codysmith3084 i vaguely remember him saying it drove like an altima, but that could just be in my head
@@captiancrayola5126 You'd hope not haha. The guy has some next level cars and that Gtr is the best of them from pure reputation haha
@@captiancrayola5126 gotta remember hes used to driving 500+ hp cars every day
looks sick asf! and those blue touches on the rims are amazing
Every time I see the r34, it remind me about Paul Walker
same here bro!
Every time I'm cooking a marshmallow and it catches on fire, I think of Paul Walker.
MaxTheKanuck WTF are u doing cooking a marshmallow anyways?
diego belone smores?
diego belone Have you ever been to a bonfire in your life?
sits on the sparco harness and puts on the original seat belt...
It’s crazy that Adam now has one of the more rare R34 GTRs our there. Midnight purple 3 v-spec
You made it, Adam, fun to watch your dream come true
That noise....
2 years ago you could buy these R34 GT-R skylines in sweden for like $30 000, sadly all are exported to other countries now. But you can still buy a fresh supra here for about $12 000.
I would like to have 3 order at my place for next week thanks.
>75k in AUD, so rare compared to surpas over here
$12k? jesus.
supras here in Finland (all swedes are gay btw) start from 5000€, with the only thing that needs doing is new tires or something.
Cartime you can buy a supra here in Georgia for 1000-2000 all day long
$45000 Australia . Now $70000
That looks like a hell of a fun car! Congrats on your experience driving it!!!
just by hearing the exhaust note is already awesome and super dope! let alone driving it personally like damnn!!
did anybody else feel an awkward silence between them
Oh yeah
he was enjoying the car and the sound. I don't blame them. Once in a life time chance.
I think its due to the fact that the driver looks like he's 12... and sounds like a schoolgirl when he talks and laugh... These kinda people i'd love to kick the sh*t out of.
vtc220 lmfao
lol extrovert problems
Damn Adam. I'm on break in the middle of working 16 straight hours, and I see a new video. So pumped!
Keep working hard!!!! It pays off :)
Adam LZ hi Adam lz your my favourite RUclipsr
MidShipCivic Sick advice bro
Not working hard is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard, without hard work, 'Smart Ideas' will get you nowhere
Adam LZ yeah it does! You've inspired me to work hard to get my favorite type of car!
Dude no way I've heard about Black Ops Performance can't wait to go and get my self an R34 driving that beast around West Palm Beach Florida
The cheap west place to buy r34 gtr is New Zealand and japan .Every were else 50 k up
I have an R33 here in Italy,500 hp,4wd,i bought this car for only 12.000 €,it's very special,and the sound it's AMAZING. 0-60 mph in 3 seconds
buy the white one Adam we would love to see one of those on here
sell everything
DESIREFX SF agreed
DESIREFX SF blue is obviously the best
bat man but the white one will be his build not bought
its still an R34 beautiful car
Funny how i see one almost everyday in Australia
Jarrod Mamo same here, not everyday but i see them often haha i still dont understand why they arent legal in the states
where do you live? lol ive only seen a handful here my whole life..
alit90 need to move to somewhere better
jqck They're not to standard here. Simple as that. They don't meet US standards in EPA, crash testing etc... The agencies could run a couple through crash testing in order check its "eligibility" so to speak but they have yet to do that. They're not too worried about making them legal either until the 20 year mark is up.
JewsDidSeptemberThe11th nope haha i live in sydney, still have only seen like 3..
You're really good man! And you're so lucky you gotta drive R34!!!☺ It's my Dream Car so i loved your video!
I hope you get to own one some day awesome video!
That car looks so fucking cool.
It's weird how excited Americans get about R34 GTR's.
75k????? They are 20 here
20k?!?!?! like 50 k for an average one and 75k plus for a good one over here... you must be in england.
a gtr is not even 20 in japan
zEsitos Ireland
Terry Dolan I call bullshit.
Dude your drifting skills are really good 👌👌👌
Sat inside one, back when R34s were only a few years old. They are cool back in those days, I recently checked one out again and it's showing it's age. It's hard to say they are worth the price of admission today since there are so many damn cool and fast cars today for cheap.
I'm 16 I work 20 hours a week and I'm saving up for an r32 I'm almost half way I really hope to get there before christmas
Keep working hard man it will pay off
KayakinOutdoors I will thanks!
Jack Anthony That's going to be awesome! I'm saving for a 240sx currently
don't forget about paying uncle sam.
Nolan yeah Yup
roman atwood was wearing a LZ t shirt today in his vid
who gives a fuck
Adam Cross seems slightly hypocritical
Nahum GC LOL
314Drift
everyone
I love the RB motors...they have such a unique angry sound. Had an R32 gtst while I was in Japan...miss that car.
Love how the guy prepared for the boost of 1st and 2nd gears!, head right back in the seat before he even gave it!!,
"state titled & insured"... Means nothing to Federal regulations 😂 its illegal, wtf.
America problems lol
I know, right??? He couldn't answer it with a simple "Yes" but instead gives a shady "It's state titled and insured" response. How does that mean it's legal?? The owner is going to be in for a real surprise when ICE comes knocking on his door...
Tom Kaos (Official) glad to see someone else caught that. I'm not 100% convinced this is a "show or display" import.
+ColoradoNative Partly, if the obd was changed and it was modified for Epa etc etc.. yea. But that guy didnt seem too confident with his answer.
Tom Kaos (Official) unless it's an ex motorex car or one of the v spec r34 that's legal under the show and display then it's not legal. Seems to be neither. They'll get caught eventually
Everyone from a foreign country, please tell us about how you have R34 Skylines in your country.
I've only seen three R34s in my country so far(A black one and two blue ones)
i see them everyday, along with 32s, 33's as well. Repping from nz
Bonson Pylon same I see them constantly they get boring overtime from Australia
All I can say is STRAYA!!!!
Bonson Pylon they are everywhere in Australia I see at least a couple a day but I don't really care, I only get excited when I see a v spec
I love how even in 2016 you were still wanting a GT3, look at you now with it
love you Adam
Romanatwood had ur top on in his vlog today!!!
Jac ck I noticed that too haha
i just realised now haha
Jac ck I seen that
Don't be fooled these are still illegal in the USA this car was a show car register which limits it to under 500 miles a year on the mileage which is checked every time registered and if over they take your car. Wait till they because legal in 4-8 years but be ready in USA to pay premium prices on these well over the actual auction and shipping price I would estimate 30 - 60,000 in the first 3 years. This is based on the R32 prices which are 14-17,000 action and shipping but USA importer mark them up to 22-26,000 so if you want one import it yourself it's way cheaper.
this is probably under race use or some special licence since it was a demo car for a performance company
Tristen Mahfouz Cars registered for race are not able to be driven on public roads or they will impound the car that's why race cars are towed to the track. So the only way they could drive this is on a show car registry.
NikiC4 I think they can be driven up to 2500 miles a year, not 500
Tony Kennedy Just going off the NHTSA originally proposed an annual mileage limitation of 500 on-road miles, and also required that a certified mileage statement be submitted annually during the first five years after import. During a comment period on the wording of the statute in May 1999, the Special Vehicles Coalition recommended that the figure be increased to 2,500 miles (a figure already in use by the insurance industry as a threshold to describe a limited-use vehicle.) The Coalition also recommended the elimination of the annual mileage statement requirement, as such a statement would not accurately reflect on-road mileage for vehicles that are also used off public roads. Both recommendations were incorporated into the final wording of the statute, though NHTSA retains the right to inspect an imported vehicle for the purpose of verifying mileage.
not sure if r34 are the same, but on my r33 I took apart the gauge cluster and you can easily turn back the numbers on the odometer.
i subscribed.... love the content dude
Got about a million of them per car meet over here in the UK, they're absolutely stunning beats of a car!!
Notification squad!!!!
Winfred Burney yeee
SQUAAAAAAAD
Adam you should build/buy a 65-68 mustang with a RB26DETT engine, that would be way more unique than an R34 Skyline itself....."There's no 'wax on wax off' with drifting. You learn by doing it. The first drifters invented drifting out here in the mountains by feeling it. So feel it."- Han
3:55 "Can I get on it in first?" *Matt immediately plants head to headrest*
watching this back. and now he was an r34. proud
im so jealous nissan skyline gtr r34 is my dream car that blue one made my jaw drop
I don't think that guy didn't like Adam
thanks for the video. I'm always looking for more places to get imported cars
bruv. happy to see someone happy driving 😢
It's so beautiful! damnnn
i will have one soon
i will have one soon

Just get someone else to drive your car while you shift for them haha, me and my friends do it all the time.
Not soon enough.

Its funny in australia you see r32,r33 and r34 skylines every day but gtr r35's are so rare in Australia 😂😭😂
Good! R35 is shit and will never be an Skyline GTR :)
gaudelio25 No!! R35 is way better
Ned Foster ikr I live in Australia too
R35 are computer game
australia.. land of skyline
I love your videos adam!! You just met MotoBroo right??
Chuck H. MB gang
"IT MAKES THE SOUND FROM THE MOVIES" hahahaha best line ever
i see them everyday but just seeing them makes me want one even more
This R34 is in Michigan btw. Going down Woodward Dream Cruise there is a chance you can see one. A year ago there was a another R34 that made it in the USA and guess where that is too... Michigan. So basically if anyone wanted to see this in person then come here
+Ryan Savage it's in Florida lol
Adam LZ Is there one in Florida too? My cousin is huge into R34's and he told me the only 2 are in Michigan
Adam LZ
Ryan Savage how much does a skyline cost
Terrique Knight A new Skyline R34 would cost around $70,000 then you would have all of the expenses that come with getting it into the USA (and the R34 wouldn't be stock at that price)
I'll have a mic next time so you can hear me
Matt Everett nice car man
Caleb Laye thank you but it's not mine I work at black ops
oh
i've only seen one R34 in person and two R33s and they were all in germany. the R33s were on two different bases and the R34 was in the parking lot at the Nurburgring track entrance (there was also an R35 nismo there as well). Definitely all beautiful cars and a huge shame we never got them here and are limited to the 25 year rule, but at least we can get the R32 and all the skylines before it, they're popping up everywhere now here in utah lol
Nissan skyline gtr r32-r33 and the r34 are some of my favourite cars
shoulda put the GoPro on the outside of the car so we can actually see the thing drive rather than you lmaoooo
OMG this car is my dream car and a hole lot better the color and interior is on point any one agree
The R34 has such amazing stock styling! i'd love an visually stock R34 GTR or GTS with only performance mods, the best sleeper....
Just about as every Car Enthusiast theres a soft spot in for an R32, R33, R34 in my heart. I love the car. I dont own but rather would love to see it, Touch it, Ride in it. I would live the rest of my life knowing I got next to one. My dream car is owning a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STi. I know anyone could get one but the fact I cant get it yet is what still makes it a dream.
R34 in gtr in blue in Australia right now are minimum $50k and only going up not down in price
where are you finding a r34 for 50k in aus? ahaha
i noticed something odd.. at 7:01 there is a sticker on the glass that says let me guess license and registration...but it suddenly disappears after...illuminati confirmed??
SlowedDown HQ2 he rolled down the window lmao
lol
you are dumb as shit
SlowedDown HQ2 window was down
The window was down!
2:49 blow off noise is so nice and clean
U had so much fun 😂 I been wanting to drive one or ride in one
Fucking beautiful
I WANT ONE
I will love to get one.

They never change the gear pattern, not on any car/brand. No company would waste their time and money on making 2 identical gearboxes with the only difference being the gear pattern...
However blinker & highbeam / wipers & fluid switches are swapped around, as well as the seating position obviously.
Joshua DeMarco we didn't go to real street today
Do you have a beard?
this Nissan skyline GTR has an awesome turbo sound 👌
SKYLINES, SO MUCH LOVE, SO MUCH JIZZ!!!
I'm moving to Canada in a couple months so I can drive my new R34. Also cause it's where my new job is 😂😂😂
Yung Swoozy good luck on insurance. everything is so expensive here especially cars
Roman atwood's reppin the lz 240 t shirt in his latest vlog bro
Damn that thing is so clean
I like how he leans back directly after allowing you to get on it in 1st gear lol. He knows the G forces are coming.
This the only import car I would buy
Valdemar Vera nsx?
Jose Peralta Nsx isn't really import since its made in the USA
TheStuntdude12 no It's not, it's a Japanese car but for the US it's made by acura, hondas us division, to save money
lol. the nsx is not made in the states, get a honda nsx or dont get one, acura is just the usa version it isnt import
Speciaalist lol theres a honda plant in ohio producing them now
Plz drive that car on 192 going towards Melbourne
you can floor it as much as u like
that would be great I stay right next to the osceola square mall lol
THAT WAS LITTTT
nice nice thats so dope!
Wtf 75,000 in the US? Here in Australia you can pick them up for as low as 45,000 AUD which is roughly 32,000 USD.
ILL CRY OF HAPPYNESS IF U BUY AN R34 Im not lying!
Those seats are sick
As a car lover it must be pretty cool to be driving that car
75k for a r 34 there's plenty in Canada for 15k to upwards on 50k
Not a gtr . That's what hes talking about., not gt25 and gtt
Ben Chesterman GTRs are like 50K used. GT-S GTT are cheap as fuck.
10 - 25 k in Australia . R34 gtr 70k
Cheapest r34 gtr in japan is 5,500,000 yen . Which is above 50 k
Ben Chesterman there's multiple listed right now for well below 50k in my area
楽しそう‼️
Thanks for the feature!
Adam LZ is funny 😂
