importing from japa!

[speedminded]

although importing a skyline would be nice, its a big hassle and price tag. It was wonderful when full race came out with their R14 swap. Skyline power and drivetrain without the hassle.
Just curious though, do importation laws fare the same as say "antique" car laws. My buddy was looking at a 72 skyline to import. In an essence, couldn't you easily import and legalize a vehicle of this age?

Yes, over 25 years is much easier. That's why people import the Land Rover Defender and register them as the older Land Rover Series model.

You CAN have a R32 or anything else STATE legal, and even INSURED as a Skyline. There are ways.

BUT who the FUCK wants a non GTR Skyline? All that is is a RHD heavy even slower 240SX.

Yes you can insure and title just about anything in Georgia but the car is not federally legal. Only the R33 is eligible for legal importing but it still has be brought up to DOT, EPA, and NHTSA standards. Any R32 or R34 can be confiscated and either put on the boat or crushed, doesn't matter if it's got a tag and insurance or not.

Not always. I know quite a few state registered cars that are even far more "illegal" then a Skyline and never have problems in GA.

Hell, I will sell you a 240 for $50, with VIN, title, and all. Swap all VIN plates, use that title, "officer it's a Skyline body." Cop would NEVER know. (Serious on the $50)
