It might be possible to import one strictly as a non driving collectible car, or for off road racing purposes, but the rules are complex, and hardly anybody seems to have managed to get a Skyline GTR into the USA on a fully safe and legal basis. Short answer, yes these cars are illegal in the USA.

The Nissan GT-R34 cannot meet the NHTSA Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in the US therefore they are illegal. ... Nissan only made approximately 12,000 of the Skyline GT R34. If one wants this car, be prepared to pay a hefty price. The last production was in 1999.

Re: Skyline GTS-T AWD question. GTS-Ts are RWD. GT-Rs and GTS-4s are 4WD. You can buy after market torque split controllers. For an R32 you can pull a fuse and instant RWD.

Under the new vehicle importation guidelines, all motor vehicles less than 25 years old must comply with FMVSS safety standards in order to be eligible for use in the United States. In other words, you can now technically import a Nissan Skyline R34 and make it road-legal in the USA.

Vehicles over 25 years old are NHTSA exempt. This means that you can legally import vehicles over 25 years old to the US, without having to meet any Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. ... 1996-1998 R33 are legal in the US currently, but have to meet US EPA and NHTSA requirements as part of VCP-32.

Yes, many mud tires are street legal and can be driven on the road while traveling highway speeds.

User Spudtato18 agrees that the Nissan GT-R is overrated, but brings 5 reasons why the car is popular among many drivers. The GT-R lineage dates back to the '60s, and it was more or less a sporty rear-wheel drive car that led Datsun to the right formula required for an affordable, fuel efficient and reliable fun car.

The GT-R is one of Nissan's most powerful and icon cars. Nissan advertises it as a supercar you can drive every day. While it may be limited in seating capacity and fuel economy, it has great storage and is comfortable enough to be a daily driver.

The "base" 2016 Nissan GT-R Premium has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at $103,000; the 45th Anniversary Gold Edition is about $1,000 more. A new GT-R Black Edition will cost about $130,000, and the all-conquering GT-R Nismo will set you back a cool $151,500.

You can, at 92hp it's right on the limit. It's really complicated. Technically they take the manufacturers claimed horsepower, which with the gixxer is over 100, which is obviously BS. However, you CAN legally restrict it IF the insurer accepts.

Yes, the Bugatti Chiron is road legal in the United States, however, there are physical differences to the car in the US that differentiate it from the car you'll (rarely) see on the streets in Europe.

A. No, the tires are designed solely for racing purposes and are not tested or labeled to meet FMVSS 109 or ECE30 Safety Standards for use on the street. IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE THESE TIRES ON PUBLIC ROADS.

Vendor. There is no aftermarket cat/downpipe that is street legal in California for the ST. New cars don't have to do a smog test for 6 years.

The R35 does not use the same chassis and is a totally different build. The R34, R33, R32 etc were called skylines because they all used the same chassis as the predecessors. ... So a R35 GTR cannot be a Skyline, but a Skyline can be a GTR?

The reason a Skyline is illegal is because of NHTSA, DOT, and EPA regulations. There are a few R32's and R34's that were made compliant by MOTOR-EX in the late 90's early 2000's, but the company was shut down for not performing the necessary modifications on the cars.

Seating. The 2017 Nissan GT-R technically seats four, but the rear seats are best used for cargo and not passengers. Front-seat legroom and headroom is decent.

Skylines (and other foreign cars) that are 25 years old are easier to import. This means that most Skyline R32's are eligible for import now, 2018/2019. Sorry R34 owners, you'll have to wait until 2027.
