different models for rx-7
hi
I'm planning on importing a jp rx7, but there are 4 models to choose from. I'm wondering if anyone would have an idea what's the difference are.
I've see GT-X, GT-R, GT, and GT LTD.
I know for sure the GT-X and GT-R are equivlent to Turbo II here in North America.

Call me Dr. Frankenstien but just in case no one believes that I searched.. the second thread that "helps alot" doesn't exist..
And the only other seemingly good gt-r info thread evolved into automatic transmission bashing.
Everything else was also pooey..

Not to the United States.. Legally that is. The only vehicle that is allowed to be imported into this country is the Skyline GTR and only certain years at that. The vehicle has to undergo US DOT saftey specs transormation and I believe that's in California...
EDIT*
If you are in the US :
This is information about importing the JDM car into the US.
As you may know, all the Japanese specifications vehicles (JDM car) are Right Hand Drive. Unfortunately, it is difficult to import JDM cars into the US at present except the 25 years or older model, race cars, show cars, and kit cars. It is because you have to obtain the approval from the DOT and the EPA in order to import the JDM car and it needs to legalize a car when it will reach to the US port.
Let me advise you that unless you wish to present crash test data for any Right Hand Drive car, it cannot legally be imported to the US. This is prohibitively expensive as a vehicle must be crashed to obtain the data, and we do not support the crash test data. Also the JDM car probably do not meet the US emission standard. And after 1996 models probably need to install the OBD2 system in order to pass the emission standard.
For your information, here is a link of the US importing information.
EPA : http://www.epa.gov/otaq/imports/quikover.htm
DOT : http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/
US customs : http://www.customs.ustreas.gov/xp/cgov/import/
As of Oct 2003 the only RHD JDM allowed for import into US is 1990-1999 Skyline GTS GTR. The vehicle must go to US conversion company (est 8k-18k USD) to meet US DOT standards. And you have to give them a returnable "bond" of 150% of vehicle value until conversion is done. If you get caught with an illegal one on the roads it will be confiscated and destroyed at your cost.
NOTE : We J's Garage Export do not support any import procedure. The buyer is responsible for any necessary procedures, or any transfers, or any modifications for them to import the car.

I brought this thread back to point to my other thread which I just bumped titled google/yahoo,etc.
I'm looking to find credible information or documentation about the gt-r as msn thinks I am talking about skylines.

Today we'd like to thank YOU Mr. sparkly blue helmut wearer guy.
"Mr. sparkly blue helmut wearer guy!"
While everyone else is wearing nice modern helmets, YOU have the sheer ***** to wear something that makes you look like a 70's era stuntman...
"Jumpin off a bridge yea!"
Because you're not worried about a HANS device... Noo you're not worried about a face shield... What's a little extra protein anyways?
"I loove the taste of bugs yea!"
So this is to YOU Mr. sparkly blue helmut wearer guy... Because not everyone has the cajones to enter a motorspeedway wearing a bowling ball on their head...
