No there isn't. The Skyline is FEDERALLY illegal even if you have it tagged and insured by the state. There is a small handful of R33's that are 100% legal that went through the process via Motorex, then 17 of them were NOT put to the required standards and the DOT caught on. Not only did they do that but they were also misrepresenting the R34 as the R33 and eventually their DOT registration to convert cars was revoked.

Ironically the DOT, EPA, and NHTSA override the state...imagine that, the federal government overrules the state. The Skyline is on the federal DO NOT import list. It's only a matter of time before each Skyline owner is caught. They have been repossessed by US customs before and they will continue cracking down.

I'm still trying to get all the low down on Kaizo's kit car approach.

If you have $65k to drop down on a R34 shell then call them and ask for Daryl. They are processing the Skyline unibody just like the Noble, Cobra's, and Ariel Atoms that were imported from Canada. It gets a VIN plate like a home built trailer and a VIN assigned by the DOT...you then put whatever power and drivetrain in it that you want.
