Skylines

I was wondering if these cars are even legal in the states? I'm not too... educated on cars. But, my boyfriend has wanted one of these foreeeevver. He said he thinks that you can have them imported and have stuff done to make it pass American standards. Is this true? Is it legal to drive with the steering wheel on the right side of your vehicle? I was just curious.

These cars are pretty @#$% badass, and my boyfriend is serious about getting one if possible. That'd be pretty cool.

Thanks.

I put Nissan Skyline in my search bar and came up with shitloads of message boards...search on it!!

If your still looking for one I'll sell you mine.

damn it, i thought i told you to stay off this board. my wife frequents here.

it was a joke tintgod. most everybody here knows how much i'd give my left nut for a skyline.

Is there a US Nissan similar to the Skyline, minus the right-hand drive? Just curious. Or is it a European thing?

I dont know if anyone else is up on things. But Skylines have been available in So. Cal. through an independent importer/dealer for over a year (US DOT legal). So no you cant get one yourself and legalize it cost efficiently. You have to buy one for a JACKED up price from that place in so cal. and then hope you get what you pay for. the stories have not been good from unhappy customers. Wouldnt you hate to pay $65000 for a used car from 1995 and have it throw a rod (or three) two weeks later?... oh especially after waiting over 9 months to get it after its paid for? theres your answer

that is what i figured...but wasnt sure...

I didn't realize you were a closet ricer.

i wanted one of those before ricers existed. i don't want it all riced up, i just want it like it comes from the factory.
and this is the one i want.

nissan fukkin rules.

looks easy to tint

...nothing hard about this puppy....and il tell you what they go like fcuk

I did one last week. Frame less doors easy back glass. I sure do want one even more now!

you can get a street legal skyline here in cali. i've tinted a couple, pretty basic.

sh** loads of these cars here in new zealand. people use them as drift cars. very reliable, hard to blow up. these cars ive heard of them still going hard past 300,000 kms millage. the transmission will F*** out well before the engine is ready to go. GTR or Godzilla spec is to die 4...

yeah you can get them herefor about 80k. my buddy has one. you can only import them threw motorex in los angeles. they take care of all the thing that need to change like the glass, emissions ect.

for the record skylines are japenese not european.
they drive on the same side of the road as we do in aus so of course i bought one.
being an r31 though its a pain in the arse to form the tint on the back window

That last post is 3 1/2 years old.......

Right hand drives are Legal in the USA!!!! I have friends that have VWs that are right hand drives they are fine you may have problem driving them though.

well so they should be legal there
we have left hand drive mustangs cruising around aus (have to display a big yellow sticker saying so) but its awsome

has anyone her done an r31 skyline?
just out of interest. i did my own and had heaps of touble with it. the rear sreen doesnt look very pro, but ive only been doing it for a year and a half and looking to learn more
