That's an R33 in the oic, and they are still on the 'approved' list of importable Skylines. Although last I heard there are more hoops to jump through since Motorex's shenanigans. They are the only ones that Motorex actually crash tested and got the OK for after the needed upgrades are completed. It was the importation of R32's and R34's while still trying to use the R33's crash testing that got them screwed.

 

:thumbup: yeah the R33s are legal to import as long as you can find somebody willing/able to do the conversion. My buddy in KC has a Motorex R33, told me the same thing you posted (not trying to seem cool, or repeat shit, just confirming what you said for others). We all in the states will just have to wait until the R32/R34s start reaching 25 years old. Need to start saving so I can import an Escort Cosworth a lot easier in 2019.

I saw 2 620s in Richland over the weekend, probably Friday evening but my camera was packed. White one on the road, and a beige one in an apartment parking lot Also passed a 210 (B310) Wagon in Kennewick on SR240 just before the roundabouts Friday morning. Saw nothing older than 280ZXs and 720s other than that.

It quite likely had/has bad fuel still in the tank/lines/filter, as time goes by, it will all get put threw the carb, and eventually the engine will quit missing, if that is why it is missing.

I am happy to hear it started today. :thumbup:

Spotted this on 16th St. in Tacoma while I was on my way to Sonic for some grub:

I'm pretty sure I saw a mustard yellow 510 goon on 16th as well, but I was eating at Sonic and only saw the top of the car as it passed throw bushes.

 

Also spotted this non-Datsun on Hwy 16 at the 5 split:

Saw a greenish yellowish 240Z today. beautiful might I add.

I flashed my lights, a little late I admit, but I didn't get any acknowledgement back. My phone is hopeless on waiting on the camera, so i just don't lol.

Distinguishing a Z from the front isn't easy, it looked like a Ferrari or some other super car from the front. Yet it was all stock.. well except for the small spoiler in the back.

Sighted in Oakley, near the Chevron.. not 5 minutes before I was filling up and some guy relived his past lol.

Have a Datsuns on the water day! I'll drag my 16' glaspar out to Lawrence lake too. I've always wondered how my 620 would handle that. I think the boat itself is longer than my datto. With trailer it would be picture worthy at the very least.
