Will this work?

Have a car imported temporarily. (Not specifically a Skyline. Any JDM car). Then after having the car imported on a temporary basis through the middle of its time allowed hide the car and report it stolen. If there are any flaws in this point them out. I am sure they are. I have thought of a few problems and possibilties. Will they look for it? Tell me what you know or think.

Where to start... Simply put, NO!

First off, you can't temporarily import a car. Next, if you report it stolen, then get caught driving it... Do you know how many laws you'd be breaking? Enough that you'd be looking at jail time, not just fines!

This isn't even mentioning how you'd plate it... etc. etc.

I hope you were drunk or in another state of mind when you posted this because it baffles me to think someone could actually consider this a legitimate idea. First off it is fraud, second what would you do witha stolen car, third how do you plan on driving a car or selling a car or doing anything with a car you have reported stolen. But I encourage you to give it a try cause nothing is impossible and ya never know what can happen next. hahaha

drugs are just bad mkay

Lmao. This is another devious little scheme. thought up, by none other than...A NEWB! YAY!

No, no, and no. It'll work, you just bring it in, register it like any other car, and then tell yor insurence it's stolen, then, th next day, everyone will forgot you and you car, and you'll be all set.

Oh, one more thing, how do you register a stolen car?

You can import a car temporarily. For example competition use. Everything else you guys said is true. I understand what you are saying. Its just the car I want to import here (in the US) is a 92 and it will be legal in Canada in 2007 but will not be legal here in the U.S. until 2017 where I live. Thats 13 years.

So...you'll ship it to Canada, then here 10 years after that?

I thought about that. But the only problem is where to keep it and keeping it in Canada while living in the U.S. I have a few plans to work that out though. After thinking about this idea and all its pros and cons me and a friend came up with the stolen car idea. But I really want to ship to Canada.

hahahah, so true.

Why don't you move? It isn't as bad as moron TV made it look (All American Programs)...

I dont want to move to Canada. But I wish I knew someone there so I could have a place to keep it.

I live there. Here. Somewhere. Canada.

OK, you didn't say how you'd import it. A lot of people think there are temporary imports.

Anyways, to import as race use, you have to have a lot of proof that it is a race car. Mods, schedule of events, race licence, etc. All that needs to be given to the NHTSA to get approval for the race use import.

All I can say is good luck with that, even some of the D1 cars have had trouble coming in.

no big deal just tell them you want to import it so you can report it stolen and hide it until it gets erased from the system. They will probably let it in since you will get busted in the long run. OK OK i will stop being an ass. Just keep in mind that it is only a car and the time and money you will waste bringing it over and storing it you can probably get and build a car that would easily outperform the skyline.

Can it be? Another thread wanting input on how to scam customs, DOT, and the EPA? Say it isn't sooooo!

Oh, it's so alright. It's so. PS, I like pie too. (Ignore this if you don't go to COMPLETELY Off-Topic :p)

Are you smoking crack too? damn Nubs..

He was jokie, newb.

The car I want to import is not a Skyline. I was just wandering how that scam would work. I was not actually going to it. Initialy I planned to import this car to Canada where it will be legal in 3 years. I have family who live in Seattle who know people in Canada and may be close friends. If they are then I can work something out that way. None of this would be a problem if the law was not 25 years. This was not about importing skylines but about importing a car generally. First I wanted to wait until the car was 25 years old in 2017. But do you know how hard it is to find a car thats 25 years old in good shape. By the time the car is 25 years old it will be a piece of shit. If you import a car 25 years or older you may have to spend alot of money in restoration work after already paying for the car and having it shipped here. You could have the car shipped to Canada and kept there which would not be a problem if you own land there or know someone there.

I live there, I'll hold on to it for you...But your still waitiong 13 years, no?

If I import the car in 3 or 4 years when its legal in Canada it will be 9 or 10 years before I can bring it to the U.S. 9 if I do it in 4 and 10 if I do it in 3. Of course I wouldnt leave the car ther e for 10 years I would go there from time to time as a vacation to drive the car, have fun while Im there and of course joy ride the car. But with in safe boundaries though.

But...I'll still hold it for ya:D
