o and i bet you dont own a 94 skyline ur just like that driftsilvia dude from the 240sx section

You can import but not drive them, how about that... Only take it to shows but still can't drive it unless you have your own track in your backyard, then you could drive it...

Are other japanese cars limited like this? I bet the reason why they dont let you drive them is that theyre too good. they dont want you driving a car thats so much better than anything here

i live in japan and you can bet the cars here are not safe!! thoes suckers crumple up like a tin can, if cars here have a small minor acdents it will have ya in the hospitial, an example is my friend in the states got t-boned by a full sized van in the driver side on the freway after he lost control dodging someone else that lost control in his new celica, totaled the car but he didnt get hurt much, went to the hospital and left the same day, he only had some back aches after that lasted a while, here in japan a guy in a skyline I know had his hip crushed by a similar acedent but the speeds involved where way lower. now that is comparing a small car in america vs a big car in japan. trust me, look a pics of crashed cars in japan vs crashed cars in the states, the ones in japan for the majority look like they where hit by a semi tuck

yes homie....it is illegal. the car was not offered in the US. that automatically makes it so that you cant just bring the car over and title it. any given car imported into the united states (except for a few exceptions) has to meet california state emissions standards (CARB), and it has to meet federal crash saftey standards. a skyline cannot be imported for show use, and if its imported for race use it has to be out of the country in 6 months.

dude...you dont know what your talking about. skylines can not just be imported and then titled, BECAUSE customs has to release the car to you. and unless the car is going to an RI, they will not release the car at all.

The noble and ultima are kit-cars without a doubt. The Skyline is a production vehicle its not that simple. It so much more work to all the disassembling and then putting it back together. So when work an labor is all said and done its even more. Not all of us have garages to work at nor do some of us know how to put a whole car together.
