All you have to do is fill out this form http://204.68.195.250/cars/rul...t.pdfThen check the checkbox in box 1. Hand it to the customs official, and you should be good to go. You may have to provide proof of the manufacturing date, either via the VIN or title and/or previous registration.themadscientist wrote:Any importers you can recommend for an 85' RS? What magically happens at 25 years old anyway, I don't have to comply with what exactly?

yea after all this stuff happened, i read so much into the NHTSA/DOT/EPA that i was contemplating trying to become an RI. It is very interesting stuff. I suppose after 25 years, the car is considered a classic and with that mentality, only a small percentage of the population drives classics. I guess they figure that if you can keep a 25+ year old car running and drivable, you deserve to drive it. Keep in mind most americans have the mindset that old=gross and ugly, at least wives/fiances/girlfriends.EZcheese15 wrote:

1970 Bluebird SSS coupe. Was exported to America, built, then re-imported back to Japan. Owner is a Navy dude.
Car has a mostly stock redtop S13 SR20DET that has turbo mani, Greddy intake mani and FMIC. Still runs the stock turbo.
This car is absolutely stunning. Clean, sharp looking, and under the hood, no non-sense. Just what's needed.
I'll see if I can get a hold of him and find out when he'll be back there again for pictures.
It was just a beautiful car.
how could you even remotely say that taking 2 plastic clips off of a fire wall is work let alone more work than the car is worth. what is unsafe about a skyline? they are made of the same s***ty metal that every other nissan is made of. besides its really nothing but a 300zx with a different engine.DroptopDrifting wrote:you people arent getting it. a skyline will register at your state dmv. you xcan get insurance, reg, tags, etc. but on a federal level it is illegal. customs along with DOT are workin hard to keep our roads "safe" and free of vehicles that aren't up to par with our US safety laws and motor vehicle laws. so you can go register your skyline and drive it daily, but if you get caught by a fed, you're done. there is no need to swap vins or frames (which is twice as much work as the car is even worth) as the car will register as is. please read the article about skylines right here on nico, a link of which was posted in this forum, before you guys start poisting stupid senseless posts and nonsense about doing even more illegal s*** than is already being done.
