I was thinking about buying the r33 and swapping vin #'s with a same year 240sx...The only problem is if i get into an accident and there is money to be received by either party the insurance companiesOriginally Posted by Cameron Nelson
As far as importing the cars into the US, it really depends on where you live...for NT'ers who live in Cali, NY, or Chicago, ya'll are held under strict emissions test, and that car (except for the R33) won't pass it. Where I'm at (Indiana), we don't do that, so it's not a factor...if you had the money to get a R32 or R34, you could.....BUT, the 2nd most important thing are the crash tests and VIN number registration. A lot of people w/Imported cars use the US counterparts VIN number (ex: owning a Nissan Sunny GTi but having a VIN nbr to a Nissan Pulsar) to register them, but w/out that, IDK how difficult it would be. Also, crash tests/crumple zones are an issue as well...should you have a collision in it, there's nothing they have on record to show how well the car holds up

That's what i thought until i started poking aroundOriginally Posted by Dirtylicious
keep it registered in CA if you have family there..
drive it around in the US.
Thereare a number of Skylines in Canada, and many pop up for sale from timeto time. However, Skylines don’t count under the Canadian Marketcategory as they were never originally manufactured for exportation tothe Canadian market. Thus these vehicles will be processed the same asa vehicle imported from Japan. Of course, with them simply being a“border awayHow About Bringing it in Through Canada?

R33's are only legal in the us as show cars. They are not street legal unless sold by motorexOriginally Posted by LimitedRetroOG
R33s are COMPLETELY legal in the US. All that needs to be done is registering it under your name.
