First off with a gtr or a gtt your cant flip shit around and make it okay to drive for only 10 grand! Its now cops are faster now. Thanks cr1pton. I keep reading about people getting there cars crushed once they've reached port. How did you get around that with your gtr? Did you mod it before shipping? If so, who did the work and can you send me there info? Much appreciated!
If you go on youtube you'll see my car. So if I were to want a skyline without spending a butt load of money how would I do it? From what I understand from reading this I have to go through an RI, get it inspected, get whatever needs done to meet standards, and then get it insured, or get one over 25 years old. That's what I've come to understand though some believe that the additional precautions are not necessary. You can find Registered GTR's in this country, their just pricey. I'd rather buy a low mileage unmolested GTR from Japan.
Or find one here. So from what I understand, from carcrusher, is that when I import one I dont have to add the extra precautions. Could you explain that to me? I'm not understanding what you mean by that. If you haven't noticed from my username is im a fan of american, nonimport, cars and im trying to wrap my mind around how to get one. I do like imports though and the skyline is one of my favorites by far. I'm still waiting to hear back from a lawyer regarding this.
I'll let you know as soon as I know. Jasper answered 7 years ago. Vincent answered 7 years ago. I'm assuming this is a joke.
What happened to America's cars? They ended up fat. Lean,tight,uncomfortable cars that were exciting to jump into and drive. American muscle turned into 'American Plush-Velour' very soon after. You need to test-drive a new Porsche or Cadillac and re-orient your mind-set. A new Porsche Panemera is a 4-door Vette,with decent gas mileage,and nicer smells. I have a Infiniti G20 sedan. Is this car a 4-door Skyline? I like my car,but it's super-wimpy. I constantly make sure the 'handbrake' isn't on!
Can this be upgraded to Skyline Status? Tmi answered 7 years ago. I did some research and it says it illegal for the emissions?!?!? I Mean the country is already polluted enough by other cars. Eabbe86 answered 7 years ago. Also there is this page on Facebook for a company that will import R32's or older from Japan. I'll post that link as well once I find the page again. They are safer than most american cars and handle better with AWD. Only reason on the older ones is safety they say.
They can do over mph on pump gas this could be another "reason" they wont allow them. Cesar answered 7 years ago. So could anyone tell me if they'll ever be legal in the US ir if there's any way there could be one in the US legally.
Check out Nostalgia Imports. About their crash worthness, I watch a driver lose it on the Road Atlanta straightaway last summer. He apparently saw the open road ahead and came on too fast. He lost traction and veered into the inside wall.
The car then tumbled for 4 or five times kinda end over end with a couople of rolls thrown in. When all the dust settled the car was a lot shorter. It was quite a while before he raised is hand out of the window but he walked away, unhurt. My son who instructs for the Porsche club said the Skyline was new but didn't know much else. The track oas open for timeed laps and my son was giving his mother a thrilling ride. He was just behind the Nissan and came up for a close view. His mother hasn't said much about a second ride.
But I really love the R But the R will have to do For those of you who don't seem to know much about this, the NHTSA has a 25 year exemption on imported cars. This means that any JDM car that is 25 years old or older can be legally imported into the U. S without having to be modified for emissions are safety regs. This includes the Skylines. As of now the R32 is now able to be legally imported into the States. So in 5 more years, the R34's will be available for legal import into the States.
Delcho answered 7 years ago. The skyline is not illegal in Michigan this also includes the Nissan GTR because Michigan has just got a gtr where I live I have seen it so they now allowing to be used. Archiestow answered 7 years ago.
I own a towing company in Southern California and work with a police agency that impounded quite a few Skylines. I have court orders to crush I am aloud to sell various "parts" off of them before they are destroyed. If anyone is interested in buying parts, please contact me by email at Archiestow aol. Hello guys I want to buy a skyline but I don't understand the regulations on having one , and I live in California please someone help, that's the car.

You can however get the R32 GTS-T legally imported with minimal paper work if you have the cash to throw down on one. I suggest you hit up Nostalgia Imports. They specialize in importing U.
S legal JDM cars into the States. Shit i am going to get that car no matter what, and you could get the car from japan. There are three Nissan skylines that travel through Everett and Marysville Washington , they are not illegal , yes you do have to mod them to state specs but regardless they will beat any police cruiser , my hatch back honda civic si would wail on the skyline ft pounds of torque , a Jackson racing super charger pushing 50 pnds in each gear , racecar fuel rail , 10 to 1 dc heads , bored out k20a4 with corvette pistons and duel hks glass pack exhaust my Honda Does and is registered as the fastest hatchback on this side of the mountain and only paid And that's without nos , best of luck to all skyline searching friends and when you get one take it to the track and test It's g force before you racing around so you don't pass out!!
Much love to all skyline lovers!! When i was 16 and crazy as heck about this car i did some research because you could pick one up from japan for about k usd.. You can have the car dismantled and shipped over as a parts car and rebuilt state side. Jeff answered 7 years ago. John awd cars are slower then rwd Also not all skylines are awd, some are rwd.
Ok so yall are the so called car gurus Its base dc off the same chasis. You will see rwd skylines yeah but they are converted to rwd. And you made one other comment that isnt true at all RWD cars are necessarily faster than awd cars. The Bugatti Veyron Its awd!!!
Do your research so you dont come across as an idiot. And for everyone in here its not just the skyline. The united states and canada have some of the strictest rules for what the will import and allow on the streets. The silvia isnt allowed either nor are many other vehicles strictly because of issues with the safety equipment or emissions.
It has nothing to do with a vendetta against certain cars or there respective hp or top speed. For has the gt with 3 different variations rated at , , bhp So before you argue your points like you have in this thread for years please do your homework study the facts and for christ sake answer the question.. It is just a huge hassel to do and a beating on your pocket book So I'm looking at buying a skyline from a guy that imports them legally.
He assures me that he can provide all legal documentation and a title for the car. However, I'm reluctant because I don't want it seized. What should I do? My advice would be to ask which RI he has been or is using go to the nhtsa website On there they show all listed ris in the country including the ones that have lost their licenses Do your research on the vehicle 2. Look over all the documents before you hand over a single penny And finally if you have the money to do it run the vin through your states dmv It will tell you if it has been registered in the us before Even a forgein car once in the sates is given a new vin and is immediately traceable through the government.
Ok, I know he's a registered importer and has a car dealership. They have be selling for 6 years. I just don't wanna be duped and have my skyline seized and be out that money.
He assured me that he's been selling these cars for years and showed me pictures of his clients vehicles. It's a GTT model with the rb25 motor. Is there anything else that I need to look out for? Best thing to do is if your going to buy it have him provide the documents ahowing that the nhtsa epa and the dot have approved it being here for use on the road It would come with a title, with my name and everything with it.
He said that the paper work takes about weeks and it's like a processing fee. Only thing was that getting it insured. Because it's registered as a JDM vehicle. I would only be allowed to put a certain amount of mileage a year.
Nope that would be for a show car.. I just looked on the nhtsa site and the skyline R34 GT-T is not eligible for importaion for show or display It looks sleek and has some of the best handling and power out on the roads these days. For this reason, it has become an iconic car. Here, we look at why exactly it is that this world renowned car is never really seen on American shores. This is true to a certain extent, but it is not really the full story or the full truth. In short, the Nissan Skyline is not often seen in the US as Nissan has never gone through the long list of requirements that are deemed necessary for a car to undergo before it is seen as safe to go to the general US market.
These requirements can be pretty basic, and can be viewed at the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards website, but they are to do with testing the seat belts, windshields and air bags. So some pretty standard stuff that we all want to be safe these days.
In addition to these safety features, the authorities in the US also want cars tested for their emissions and crash safety. To pass the crash safety tests, four cars have to be given to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulator for their own independent testing. Car manufacturers cannot simply submit past test results from other test centers.
This is an obvious cost to the manufacturer, and one that Nissan chose not to undertake. One of the reasons perceived as to why they chose not to send their cars for testing was that they never designed the car with export in mind.
