I'm not all that familiar with Skylines, yet I can't imagine that a car that typically outperforms the majority of american cars on a track is unsafe to dd. For instance, Miatas, Smart cars, escorts, etc. are all legal USDM cars and the occupants are most certainly unsafe in a crash in all of them.

keep in mind that the speed limit in japan is approx. 39mph or something like that so that is what speed they crash test them at in japan.

i need to check this thread more often because thats a different car. looks sweet though

Hey I was right! I said port of LB on zilivia lol

Sure, just send me an e-mail or PM and I can get you better pricing on anything DMAX than the advertisers on Zilvia.

ok I'll email you when I get some cash to get those floor mats and some other stuff thanks.

Im so tired of everyone making a big deal out of this import car thing. If it passes emissions you can get it titled. After emissions no one cares if your car is jdm, edm, cdm or any other domestic market you can think of. This is why we have titled dune buggies, rat rods, and salvage titled vehicles which are not crash tested. The people at the dmv dont care what kind of car you have if you have the proper paperwork your good to go.

It doesnt pass emissions, or the crash tests here.

The DMV dont give a s***, but the Federal government obviously cares enough to create a department dedicated to finding & impounding these cars.

Yes on a state level that's fine. And I know ohio and many states don't care. Hell my friend that owns a shop daily drove his race car, which is a NA 3 rotor rx7 with a 3.5in exhaust. Yeah like that will pass emissions.

But on a federal level, your car gets crushed or impounded. Ask skyline owners that have had their r32/33/34 taken away with no compensation. Mostly because the car doesn't pass safety/crash requirements, and it doesn't have OBD1/2. OH yeah and then crooks import them, charge you crap loads of money to do so, and then do the easy stuff to get them partially leagalized, then give you your car. Gov finds out its not done right and every one gets screwed over.

But after 25 years things get a lot lax because there are far far fewer on the road.

And stuff like dune buggies and hot rods aren't as tightly regulated for the simple fact they are custom and aren't closely based on a production chassis. Thats more of an educated guess though, but mainly it comes down to they just like to make pointless rules.

All I know is Id rather be in a completely jdm stock (no safety addition) skyline then any kia or hyundai in a wreck.

You and me both, buddy. If you've ever been around the port during the night time, it looks AMAZING. All of the cranes, huge cargo ships and trucks everywhere, plus the crazy amount of noise going on really makes the place almost magical. When we were shooting the pictures, I really didn't want to leave.

awesome pics, and on the legal note, imported cars like the skyline havent been DOT tested and therefore they are not DOT approved so they dont allow them.

Would everybody please read this so you can educate yourselves instead of coming on the forums and speaking total bs. There are ways to import a skyline and no they are just not magically taken away by the gov once you have one and have imported it the right way. Not saying all the modifications are easy but if done right yes you can have a skyline in the US no matter how old it is. It has nothing to do with safety.

Sorry to threadjack teddy but the hooplah around this whole JDM thing is crazy. People just overthink stuff.

Teddy, this thread is so incredible. So incredible on so many different levels that you may or may not even be aware of. (I'm guessing you are). The reality of scene where you are is so, like, tangible. The part with the Bride seat almost brought me to tears. (ALWAYS has been my favorite racing seat too).

The picture of all the cars outside of your house. Epic. The pics of silvias on the freeway.. All differnet kinds of people, different goals, fears, walks of life, All behind the wheel of a silvia, all going in the same direction

This thread is what it is ALL ABOUT.

ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF POWER AND PERFORMANCE TO YOUR CAR!!! AND ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF POWER AND PERFOMANCE TO THE CARS OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!

Thats pretty intense... Im inclined to agree with you though.

I love that you are rockin the pignose on your hatch. someone posted a few pages back "which front end are you going with? kouki or chuki?" as if zenki wasn't even an option. IMO the pignose is a much more interesting bumper than either of the other two. Keep rockin it forever. Don't change it. It has soul that the other front ends don't have.

the pig nose has the most character out of all the S-chassis family.

QFT.
At first I can say I didn't care for the pignose, but it really grew on me.

Do you have a skyline or previously owned one, or tried to import one.

Its kinda like beer. The first one you ever drink is not quite what you expect and you think you might not like it, but before long you find yourself drinking a bottle every day when you get off work just because it is such a refreshing taste. You don't even care about the hype around it or getting drunk or any of that non-sense. It just tastes good and you love it.

Yeah, that is what the pignose is like.

sick thread man. r32 sedan slammed with bn aero, flush dished wheels?!?!?

I agree pignose is an acquired taste. It's a great one after you've matured to that level :P

I need to cut my pig vents out just because...
and also because previous owner ripped the ribs outta the vents.

Well I'm glad you enjoyed it. I still kind of need to finish it though. Haha. I'm hoping I can fit the entire story in my first post of the thread so that people can just read it without having to look for everything.

I wanted a Kouki bumper for a while, but sort of decided against it because I hate joining "crazes". I like the way they look but I also don't want to spend a million dollars getting all of the aero.

Plus, old school style "drift cars" (ie. S13, S14, FC, 86) were simply cooler than the new drift car styling IMO.

So pignose it is.
