This means that, if I want to import and federalize a 96+ R33 GTR, all I'd have to do is find a RI on the NHSTA's list that would help me do so [modifying the car to meet standards]. Right?http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/....htmlSo... does anyone know which RI's [on the east coast] are currently willing and able to import and federalize/legalize a 96+ R33 GTR?sean8564 wrote:acctually now the only federal Legal skylines are from 1/1/96 to 6/30/98 R33 GTS and GTR this is because motorex cheated on there documentation to the federal govermant and said that the R33 was produced from 1990-99 and now we all have to suffer cause of that. so if you want a R32 you must buy 2 cars and have them crash tested first by NHTSA and then you must be a importer able to conform to the fedral chrash test standards of 1989-1994. same is true for a R34 also the laws states that cars over 25 years can be brought in with out any problem

Cool beans. When do you think you will have some r32 gts-t/gtr available?
I'll have to unload my 300zx TT before I can get one though :xMy wife would kill me!
I have 3 of them here in the states with a title the GTR is 15K for a US title that says 1990 Nissan Skyline.Vkoslak wrote:sean8564

progressive is the insurance company and yes we have a GTR R32 with a GA title authough not 50 state legal but still you can transfer a title once you have it to any state did the black GTST that was on Ebay witha titlesonicsam wrote:so your sayin' the GTR you have available comes with a title? and with a title and a willing insurance company i should be able to drive it on the streets (though not completely legal)? if this is true, i cud be a possible customer a month or so from now.
yes that is why no importer will bring them inVkoslak wrote:With the only currently 49 maybe 50 state legal skylines being after 1996, wouldnt they all need to be made odb2 compliant?
Sean, you're gonna fail miserably...lol. J/K homie.sean8564 wrote:we have one yaer to adjust the R32 to pass standards of 1989.

I'm a new owner, I am currently insured thru Progressive and they are costing me an arm and a leg (almost 5 digits) a year on insurance (full coverage). They are the only ones who do not ask for DOT papers. Now here's the catch, my bro-in-law works for them, if something happens to the car and they run a check with DOT, they have the right NOT to pay for the claim. I'm looking into State Farm and other insurance comapnies, most if not all requires DOT and EPA paperwork, that's my current experience.sonicsam wrote:so do all the skylines [gtr's] you guys bring in have titles? and are more r32 gtr's on their way over to the US? i'm really interested in picking one up by or around summer time. are there any NY skyline owners on this board that could share experiences on registering and insuring (process, cost, etc)?
also, iirc, you guys are working with JK to test R32's for NHTSA so that they can be legalized again, and i think that's awesome what's the progress on that and is a estimate on the cost of a legalized one and the approximate time for availibilty of r32 legalization possible at this time?
Actually, I have liability with Progressive, and they told me that I had to have one of 3 documents. I don't remember the first two, but I know they had something to do with US Customs and Border Protection (Form HS-7) and a document from the NHTSA stating that the vehicle complies with ALL applicable FMVSS of the year in which the car was manufactured. The third document is simple...State vehicle registration. They told me to fax that to them once I got it and I would have no problem. That registration, according to them, states that the car is allowed to be driven on the streets. I have done the best I could. The car is titled and registered as exactly what it is! NOT A BOTCHED 240 VIN! After all, it's up to the states to enforce the laws, not the Federal Government. The Federal Government can only regulate the importation! So if a car is smuggled in....JaS3113 wrote:
