i got a question about the skyline r34

ldr162001 · 05-06-2007, 06:01 PM

Is it posible to own a Skyline R34 in the United States ? because i have never seen or heard of someone that owns one. I think that you cant because the steering wheel is on the other side but i heard of some people that have taken some cars apart to change the steering wheel to the other side so why dont they do that to the skyline.

i've seen a couple of em' in florida...

P-Mogs · 05-06-2007, 09:58 PM

you just cant buy them in north america. the poeple who own them buy them in japan and have them shipped here.

Striker · 05-13-2007, 08:49 AM

yes its legal your allowed to drive with the steering wheel on the other side (hint the mailman) just it has to pass inspection and junk

c1uy.. · 05-14-2007, 01:29 AM

its illegal cuz its only for "show" or "drifting" event if u import it to the United States so if u see them in the streets CALL THE COPS.jk

clipz · 05-14-2007, 01:38 AM

im in canada ive seen like about 3 so far not many but there fuckin sick when i see one cops are taking a look at it inspecting it and shit haha

Big Nick · 05-14-2007, 11:12 PM

the right hand driving has nothing to do with it ull see a lot of older mini's like that
there not really illegal here there just not avalable here u have to get it imported straight from japan i have seen a couple of skylines nd sylvias but ppl dont really wanna go through the trouble of transporting it by boat or by air
but its not like a cop is gonna pull u over nd give u a ticket nd write "skyline" on it nd make u pay a 100 dollar fine or anything lol

Ntrigue805 · 05-25-2007, 10:29 PM

i know a guy who had a skyline shipped from japan to california and he drives it all the time no problems.

Whats A Papoose · 05-25-2007, 11:44 PM

doesnt matter if the steering is on the otherside its the same with german cars to australia they change the steering before they sell em here

DenDanskeSimon · 05-26-2007, 01:34 PM

If you import the car, you have to pass an inspection. The steering wheel wont be a problem, but other things like turn signals and ride height may have to be modified to pass the inspection.

MC Rimski · 05-27-2007, 01:41 PM

they just have to be imported, no problems with the steering wheel on the other side, all the american imported cars are legal in the UK after they have their rear lights changed.

I suppose they are harder to imported into america with all their shitty little laws about how high the headlights must be off the ground and shit, i fink thats the gayest vehicle law ever!

Jast3r Rogu3 · 05-31-2007, 08:21 AM

I have seen a couple here in Cali manly you see them on rich kids, man what i would love to own one of those.

king_bape · 05-31-2007, 12:01 PM

go to motorex.com if you want to buy..
all you need is a US vin, money & a lot of free time!!!

MoMoney · 05-31-2007, 11:50 PM

no its because it doesn't meet the emission output laws of america, so in other words, it puts out toooo much exhaust.

thug_lyf3 · 06-02-2007, 08:00 PM

all you need 2 do is get a permit....to drive when the steering wheel is on the right side.

G_Limi23 · 09-11-2007, 08:32 PM

i know a guy that lives like 2min away from my house that owns one.. its a tommy kaira edition.. that shit is a fuckin beast..

You_My_Boy_Blue · 09-12-2007, 03:46 AM

alot of paperwork to fill out

king_bape · 09-12-2007, 12:03 PM

go to

& you can just buy one with all the paper done for you...

chris1883 · 09-12-2007, 01:12 PM

The emissions is the main reason why its hard to get into the us. Hence infiniti has the g35

You_My_Boy_Blue · 09-12-2007, 06:13 PM

it has to do with some about crash test too, becuz they dont got enough info on the skyline out here for insurance purposes, my buddy did lost of research on it but i forget all he told

ACole · 09-13-2007, 02:08 PM

you got to get it imported

panda · 09-14-2007, 03:22 PM

to own a imported car you have to have pass the emission test and convert it to our laws. that's it.. it doesnt matter if it's on the right hand drive or not..or anything else as long as it follows the laws on the road and can pass a emission test then your good to go.. it would just be harder for someone that lives in cali to own a imported car than someone in sc because one state would have stricter laws than another.
