my friend was wondering would there be problems with registering a Rhd 250 gt skyline from japan its a sedan aswell with a VQ25

 

The rear bumper doesn't meet us crash standards... IDK if they would know that, or if you could even register it

 

....wtf thats retarded what if i pot a us bumper on it it seems like its just longer

 

Just don't scrape a pull and damage your bumber. (Inside 350z joke)

What's that got to do with the OP's post?

OP is asking how he can legalize the 250GT in the US. Also, your jalopnik link has been posted NUMEROUS times here on Driver. I thought feds taking away GTRs and other illegally imported are (Motorex, anyone?) all ancient news by now?

To legalize the 250GT, it takes more than just time. There is a whole list of things that needs to be converted to US compliance standards before it can even reach the US shore. Once it has been imported, the EPA, DOT, NHTSA, and other agency would have to test and thoroughly check the vehicle before they are released and legally registered.

For more information, check here: http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/impo...list010410.pdf

 

wait but how is this car different from our cars i mean exept the rear bumper what other issues are there?

 

^Other main differences are the different engine and its RHD

 

Different engine is probably a bigger deal than it should be... you'd probably have better luck getting in a 350gt.

 

that was the point this one was only 5k with shipping so that just means it out of the window lol guess my friend will just need to settle for a 240sx

 

why would u wanna import a gt250 to begin with??

 

since it looks exactly like our cars and costs 5k with shipping.....

 

cloth interior FTL

 

$5k sounds cheap.

Look into grey market import rules. Unsure of the costs.

To be honest,I think the g35 is a better Deal then the jdm cars. Ypu get the 3.5l while most jdm are 2.5 and 3.0. Plus you can only get awd with the 2.5. I would think driving around with the steering wheel on the wrong side would get old after a while. Say bye bye to drive thrus atms food, tolls, paying for parking in lots, etc.

 

LOL! Get a job at the post office of you want to drive a RHD all day.
