Hey Guys. I have a Friend in the navy in Japan and he has a R33 Skyline he wants to import over here but we dont know were to start looking. The navy said they will ship the car for free bit we dont have an idea how to get paper work made for the car. Also if it matters the car is going to be shipped to Miami. i will be grateful for any help thanks

 

I really don't know anything but a little search on google brought me to this article

"Skyline and the US Federal Government
Vehicles imported into the United States that are less than 25 years old must comply with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) regulations and they must be imported via a Registered Importer (RI). If vehicles are imported that do not meet FMVSS regulations, they must be brought up to compliance by the RI within 120 days of entry into the US. NHTSA also limits the models of vehicles that are eligible for importation into the United States.

NHTSA states, "to be imported free of restriction, a motor vehicle less than 25 years old must be originally manufactured to comply with all applicable FMVSS and bear a label certifying such compliance that is permanently affixed by the vehicle's original manufacturer.". Skylines, sadly, do NOT meet that criteria."

really, you need to hit up some nissan forums.

 

Oh crap, I thought this was a thread about illegal Mexicans. Never mind.

 

I thought R33's were ok. I know a guy locally who has one that is tagged and registered. The nhtsa didn't crash test a r33 but they think they did
