    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...
