Nissan Skyline – Fully Legal for $3000

Here are some caution words.  Found this over at Zilvia forums.  I don’t have too much of a  problem with the car, I have a problem with the words the seller uses - “fully legal”,and only for $3000.  That is simply not possible.  This person can maybe get a title for this car in some state for $3000 , but the car is not “fully legal”.  Possessing something, does not make it legal. 

This state titling thing seems to be confusing to most people.  They assume that because they are titling a car, its legal.

GTS-VA-Zilvia

If this car was imported as a complete car, and they bypassed Customs, DOT-NHTSA , EPA regulations, then the car may have been able to be titled, but its not legal.    Offering the service to “legalize” and title the car as a Nissan Skyline is just not legal.

With all the current goings on with the Kaizo investigations, and New Jersey investigations, maybe these guys aren’t that smart. Probably not.  There was even this R32 GT-R in Texas from a while ago that was seized by Homeland security.

The car they are selling is a GTS R32.  Maybe a $2000 car in Japan. Shipping, and getting a title for it costs, but its still just a GTS. You would be better off with at US legal 240 for that kind of money.  No matter what you do, this thing is still a GTS.

  1. yea i agree sounds like a rip off...the car may be state legal with state title but not federal...so not FULLY legal...Jk performance or jk motors is the only place i have found to legalize r33 gtr's because they were partners with motorex, so they have crash standards for only the r33. they have to modify the car to have dual air bags that work and the car has to be imported and immediately taken to michigan to dot-epa head quarters in michigan and pass emissions legalally to even be considered FULLY LEGAL...so scam.
