Skylines in the U.S.

I was just wondering if the R32 & R34 were legal here in the U.S. More importantly in California. I've hearing from people that it is illegal. If so why?

They aren't illegal. That is why you see so many of them. You can get them at any Nissan dealer. You just have to order them special.

Read the stickies, er.

huh??? what do you mean from a Nissan Dealer??? :eek7: I know Motorex is the only company that can legalize them and apparently Motorex is under investigation. :p Unless something's changed that I don't know about.

I just like to point out, nice mistake how you said you order them "special". Motorex doesn't legalize them. They buy them from Japanese Auto sales and house auctions, and sell them for nearly double in the states. Insurance, and legalization, is all up to you. Only a couple thousand dollars should get you to pass emissions, which is the only reason why they aren't legal. Remember, no matter what you hear, it's only emissions.

Insurance, and legalization, is all up to you...Remember, no matter what you hear, it's only emissions.Not if you live in the US. Wrong its not just emissions... in fact many other things, Motorex doesn’t say what they do to the cars... so don’t make any speculations.

Until recently, they DID legalize them. Any car you bought from Motorex came complete with a package from the DOT stating the car was legal and registration. Although the work was mostly farmed out to G&K, it was included in the price paid to Motorex.

It is, and it's stated by DOT of America.?

Yea it also has to do alot with saftey regs cuz the U.S thinks that seat belting everything and airbaging everything will save you from anyting!

I don'tknow what you are smoking, but you are wrong.
Head lights
Glass
Side impact
Cat converters
tires
etc
I don't know what all, but it is MUCH more than just emissions.

Obviously you don't read the highlighted IMPORTANT posts or you would of seen these. Some of the things that need to be changed to make a Skyline meet DOT specs. Sounds like some custom fabricating and alot of work to me.

All of this has been posted before.......so I don't know where some of you people come up with your "Information"............ :rolleyes:

What sucks about importing is the fact that you do all the testing by yourself. So in reality you would have to import to of the same cars. One to drive and one to do all the testing on. Cuz after all the testin' done that one car would be completely totaled.

2. It takes several cars not just one to crash test
