The only place you may run into trouble is in California. Unfortunately, due to the worldwide oil crises at the time and much stricter emissions standards, less than Skyline GT-Rs were produced. The third-generation car, code-named [R32] also introduced an all-wheel-drive system that was propelled by a 2.
Drivers could hit Zero to 60 mph in 5. This blazing orange Nissan GT-R features a 3. Write a comment Name required. Mail will not be published required. Every Make. Every Year. Every Color. Prompting everyone from forum users to actual news publications to invent wild stories as to why the Skyline is illegal to import into the US. Some of the most popular internet theories are that the GT-R is so fast that US Police cars can't catch it so it was banned, others claim it is because it is right-hand-drive, while others, talk about US muscle car makers lobbying to ban it because it would embarrass the Camaro and Mustang.
While all of these are entertaining, none of them are true, the Skyline GT-R has not been singled out to be banned by the US Government. So what is the real story? 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.
MarioandFawn answered 7 years ago. S until unless you're willing to fill out some crazy ass paper work and only want to drive it a limited amount of miles per year for the next year. 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 I dont know anything about the dealer himself But im just letting you know what I just found out It will download a pdf file the will list the cars eligible for import for show On the first page there are many links to find out what you would have to do to get it legal on the street And maybe with the given vin you could contact them directly to figure this out further.
Ef Miguel answered 7 years ago. After How much would it be to bring one from Japan and buy it? How much would it to get it? Trying to get the skyline r Ulises answered 7 years ago. The reasons Nissan never brought the car over to the USA is 1. The z has always been Nissans 1selling sports car in the USA and it would kill the z. What my friends did was put a z motor init so it can pass inspection then swapped back the original motor in it.
BigLuke67 answered 6 years ago. K, hahaha, I'm trying very hard not to laugh at the last comment. It's said like the the skyline and gt-r are one in the same.
Special hint There not. Also hehe bare with me, fast and furious did not make the sky line famous or the gt-r they are both extremely coveted cars have been for years.. The gt-r was made for US by design and only in automatic. Oh, and let's not forget it's price that they didn't sell Em here? Really dude so let me know which of these execs. You worked with so I can stay as far away from him as possible cuz Just saying it was because dot regulations and emissions and crash tests on that not the r32 is actually legal to buy now in the us well buy and sell insurance isn't insane and right hand side drive manual spec v twin turbo the whole shibang.
Now for my question I am looking to buy a r33 or a r34 wrecked or salvage title not drive on the roads but for a project car and for the track where can I buy in US not outside of country. Skyline4Life answered 6 years ago. I precisely think that not having a skyline on some parts of the United States is stupid cause there are faster cars that will go way more than mph like the Hennessy venom gt an that shit goes close to mph while the skyline goes almost mph and why dont they just crash prove it and fix the dot shit thing just to make a beautiful fast car not go to waste.
Mario answered 6 years ago. Defiantly not a kit car, yes its legal and registered in Washington state. I have two more other than this one.
Bane answered 6 years ago. Idk why would anyone think GTRs are illegal because of it's top speed.
