JDM cars imported
 
i dunno if its true but is it true that we cant import rhd to canada anymore regardless if their 15 yrs old

slammer111 10-14-2009 03:28 AM

It WAS true but have they changed/extended that?

schmooot 10-14-2009 06:51 AM

your wording doesn't make any sense.
we can import anymore? or can't import anymore?

import_luva 10-14-2009 12:31 PM

Anything you "hear" from a friend or some other third-party source is usually false. Someone would have said something if it was true. Keep looking at those GT-R's.

took the VSA course recently.. asked the professor about this issue.. he said the VSA is looking into it and possibly ban it due to safety reasons.

I believe the ban is in Ontario.

Unless BC is banning it too, then I don't know anything about that

import_luva 10-14-2009 03:10 PM

I'm not sure if they're still under it as of now, but Quebec has a ban on all INCOMING JDM cars for like 180 days. That means you can't bring anymore in, but anyone still driving them can keep them. Ontario wants to follow suit.

spoon.ek9 10-14-2009 07:06 PM

banning rhd vehicles for safety reasons is a fascade. they're trying to kill the competition in the used car market.

hopefully this ban dosen't take affect here in BC. i really want a true EK9 :(

yellowpower 10-14-2009 07:18 PM

Yay r33 thats ballin. How much is it in jp?

Stupid just to have a ban in one Province. They can't stop people from buying in another Province and bringing it back.

nismosx 10-14-2009 09:34 PM

meh i would like to see a ban on rhd cars i dont like highschool kids speeding in their gtrs
im just jealous of all the rhd cars that are already modded and brought over here i wouldnt mind buying a donor and strip the parts

JSALES 10-14-2009 09:39 PM

+1


car dealers dont like competition, so some rich people (eg. jim pattison) got some pretty influencial politcal people to start the idea of banning things.

godwin 10-14-2009 10:39 PM

Huh? Out of province car still need an inspection.
