Call these people, they are the largest US importer of skylines. They will know exactly what legalization will cost and comprise of

Presumably, it has to be converted to meet DOT and EPA requirements.

You can ask Motorex if they can do it. They advertise 3-4 months and $25K to convert a R33/R34 Skyline.

^ Dude, I JUST posted that link

 

Sorry, didn't refresh until after I posted. I gave him additional info, though.

 

does anyone know what they dofor 25k I mean thats ALOT!!!! I thought all I need was some cats and a ecu flash!!!!! Guess not huh

 

you will need revised from/rear bumper supports welded in, cats, emiisions testing, adding OBD-II equipment. ECU adjustments, new windows and glass all around, new exhaust, new intake, it goes on.. and on..

 

whats different about the glass??? just seems weird.

 

Everything (lighting, glass, etc.) needs to be DOT approved. That's why...

 

WOW well I guess Im NOT getting it

thanks

Adam, There's a guy on the Island who has a Skyline, I'm pretty sure he imported it himself.. Do a search on the NYS DOT website, I think there's a specialty vehicle section that may let you get the car registered and titled (and insured) in New York State without legalizing it.. I think its restriction is for show or prototype vehicles.. I do know of someone who used the Kit Car registration process to get his car (a European Lotus Esprit) titled..

 

see Jack that why I can ALWAYS count on you your a book a knowledge
thanks
