I dont know how it works in different states, but in NY you can register "custom" vehicles. whats to stop someone from ripping the VIN off and registering one as a custom? Granted, it will still have to be made to pass emissions, but thats not too hard.

NOOOOOOOOO!! When did this happen?? I would have bought your car within the day of finding out it was for sale!! What the helll!!!! How did I miss that over there on 3si?? aww man, now i'm gonna cry :_(

BlinkRA - I think they would know a Skyline when they see one...not to mention doing that would probably ruin it's value...good point though.

The reason its hard to see skylines in the US is the fact that last i herd motorex had only legalized 73 skyline i think 20 somthign were R34s. Rbmotoring i think was trying to take over the legalizing process. I would wait for teh 07\08 infiniti GTR thats going to be sooo sweet. Ne way if you get a NSX rember this year or next is the last for them. Also another skyline note for us 2014 the R32 fall under the 15 year law.As far the kit/custom thing you would have to import a skyline chassis then body, then engine drive train. US customs would spot the whole car and hold it till you sent to a leglizer. The skyline is so hard to import because there is no simular car here in america. Other forigien cars can be improted here in america if there is a simular car. Check the registerd list of RI b4 though. I know there area a few big names that have websites but not on the RI list. This means they coudl import but not legalize. If you want to know how i know all this i looked a pulsar GTiR the skyline bastard child. Found websites that imported them but no legalizers.

...and motorex went out of business

If you actually look into it alot of what motorex did you can do yourself, on the skyline forum there is alot about importing them, if you have a friend in the military you could have him import one in (no customs) I have heard of alot of Army guys having them brought straight to the midwest and then titling them... other than the coast most areas have no clue that its supposed to have all sorts of documentation, and some minor tweaks, mostly if i remember right the big deal is bells and whistles, uncle sam thinks if we dont hear an alarm when the key is still in the auto maker is liable for lawsuits...

I actually read the entire DMV documentation on the things that needed to be added or changed to make it legal and most was just stupid crap, for the most part they noted that mechanical was up to or better in all categories than most necessary, then I decided to get a VR-4 (honestly).

The only ppl that really know what is needed is motores because they did the crash tests on the skylines and have not sold the info to anybody last i herd thorugh for 1.5mil you could have it Yeah alot of bells and whistles. Plus support braces int eh doors,front,rear bumpers. also on the R34 currently there OBD-II system isn't legal and there is no conversion harness. Also if you improt through japan and the car makes its way to CA you have to pass Calaforia emissions. On the eastside you have to lan in NY or FL if my understanding is right. There are a few discussed wise to bypass everything but remeber if you are caught you will face a hefty fine,jail time or nice fraud charge, and you car WILL BE CRUSHED. Just better off to do it legally.Now out of curisoty has nebody though bout brining a jap VR4 over???? Hmmm i must investagate. Time to start badggering the registerd RIs

I would really enjoy it if Motorex would stop being so stingy about it. Either start importing cars to the US again, or give the information to someone who will actually use it.
