Wow i forgot about this topic (I made it).
I really wish that Skylines were legal in the US, ive never seen one in person.

i think they can be made legal if you register them as a kit car

i've seen R33 in frederick,MD before, tbh i dont know if it was a kit car or not. it had what looked like volk wheels on it but it was poorly painted.

it must have been a kit version because the fenders were all discolored and what not. either way i would still rather own it.

Black Fire · Post by **Black Fire** » 22 Jun 2007, 01:08

McLaren_dude · Post by **McLaren_dude** » 22 Jun 2007, 01:30

ive seen many r32 skylines and such at local carshows at Sonic, if you know what it is(to those who dont its a restarant where you can order in your car and eat there, or you can eat outside), so i asked on dude how he got it in, he said that he legalized it.

Theyre legal to be imported so long as theyre SVA tested, which means theyve got to be standard. Its the same now for any import from 97 onwards.

But that's not considered a true Skyline.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 22 Jun 2007, 13:38

Quite true, considering that they're aiming to take the Porsche 911 down...

Whell I hope to see some Skylines cruisin down the street sometime soon. Well I saw a viper parked at a restarant on my way to EB games (which bythe way has been bought out by Game Stop

). Has anyone ever seen a gt40? I saw one a few months ago at a hardees (restaraunt) and I complimented the owner

.
