HI EVERYONE I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I SEARCHED BUT I COULD NOT FIND MY ANSWER I ALSO APOLOGIZE IF I BREAK ANY RULES!

IM LOOKING TO PURCHASE A R33 IT HAS A FLORIDA TITLE! DOES THIS MEAN THE CAR IS LEGAL AND HAS A 17 DIGIT VIN ALREADY SINCE IT IS TITLED? ALSO WOULD I HAVE A PROBLEM REGISTERING IT IN CALIFORNIA? THANK YOU

For one, a Florida title does not mean it's legal. DOT bond relase and all the EPA paperwork would make it legal. Ask for all documents that prove it's 100% federally legal. If the owner can't provide them, it's not a safe deal.

And please don't type in all caps. It appears on the forums that you are yelling.

Dude you and me live in Commufornia! Dude let me put it to you this way. The California government are carnazis and the Skyline is Ann Frank. Not only is the Skyline illegal in America, the engine is also illegal specifically in California.

Why is the skyline engine illegal in california?Where is is stated that this particular engine is illegal?I was under the impression that any vehicle that passed an emissions test would be legal in Cali, am I wrong? Please excuse my ignorance then...

We've already answered this question its own you now read, if you had read before hand you wouldn't be in this situation and now that you are read.... Stop asking people to spoon feed you information, you'll never really know for sure unless you read..... Yeah we feel for ya but it aint like other people haven't been there but the way they got through it is finding the information for themselves

Give a man a fish feed him for a day teach a man to fish feed him for a lifetime. Reading is the answer if you dont do it, we can't help you

Just the fact that it was ever registered in Florida means there's a good chance it'll get impounded.
