| Importing Skyline GTT~Any Mechanic for Safety Compliance?
Hi,
I'm importing a Nissan Skyline GTT to Vancouver. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable mechanic to do the safety compliance so I can register with ICBC and buy insurance?
Thanks

looks like like a GTT with a Widebody to me..
as you can see the rear fenders dont match up with the door lines exactly.
and you cant see the hump in the dash for the GTR Display.
