then buy a dummy beater 240sx of the same color and year...register it and swap plates
but that #@%* is highly illegal and im not even sure it its worth the headache
Awful idea

That's because Kaizo Industries sold actual Skylines, not kit cars...they basically dismantled the cars and shipped them over piece-by-piece to give the impression that it WAS a kit car to pass thru Cali's emissions standards, BUT when it was discovered the cars were actual Skylines, the owners were sent letters by the FBI stating the cars were going to be seized with 60 days if they didn't turn them in. To date, they've seized 3 R34's and 2 R32's
Another wannabe importer is Fast4Wheels, LLC.According to theirwebsite, âWe sell Nissan Skylines and other JDM vehicles youâre lookingfor! These cars are already here in the US, and come registered with atitle.â

Although, it is the only gtr in the r32-r34 that is still possible to import. The reason being that motorex performed all of the necessary crash tests etc for the car, which I believe is somewhere around 10. Then they closed. Now even that such info exists, it's hard to find the paperwork since motorex would obviously not give it away for free. The r33 is not build to us standards, similarly to how the r32 and r34 isn't. They're not any different and all required modifications, the only difference is that the r33 has the necessary testing and paperwork. If someone is willing to import 10+ r32s and r34s to perform the tests, therefore destroying them, then they would also be potentially legal to import. The entire process is a lot more complicated then you guys make it out to be. After research, i found that the most efficient way to import them would be to register it as a kit car. In order to do so the motor ****** and body would have to be dissassembled then imported. Although, there is also a problem with this method because technically the skyline doesn't classify as a kit car, although Ive seen many success stories
