importing from japa!

WRONG. there are plenty of people driving LEGAL skylines

and how many of these were ACTUALLY IMPORTED over the past year or so? not many. it used to be easier to get away with it, but now alot of the cars that were registered using loopholes and other semi-legal methods are being seized. most commonly r34s.

True true.


The best thing to do if you really want one is to find one thats already here and is actually legal. That way you dont have anything to worry about.

Not true, the feds can seize a skyline and crush it anytime...no such thing as a legal r34 in this country, nor r33 for that matter.

Then how can they be titled and insured and all that?

I'm not going into detail as there is a lot of info about this on the web, but just because a skyline is legal on the county/state level doesn't mean it's legal...

99% of the time, they arent titled, just registered as a kit car on state level and insured as such just the same. that makes it technically legal to drive, but it can be seized by the feds because its not and cant ever be titled federally or 100% legalized.

yeah, but its really only because they were never intended to be sold or driven on US soil, so they were never crash tested, etc. motorex tried to bs their way through that one a loooong time ago, and we saw how well that one worked out...

I would not worry about this hassle, I thought about it myself but it would be much too time consuming and it simply isn't cost effective. For the price you'd end up paying to have a car brought over with everything said and done you could probably buy and audi r8, which is fine by me...
