Examples of Imported Vehicles into the United States
Importing a Nissan Skyline.




I. Importing a Nissan Skyline.



The Nissan Skyline was not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable FMVSS. Such a vehicle that is less than 25 years old can only be lawfully imported into the U.S. if (1) it is determined eligible for importation by NHTSA and (2) it is imported by an RI or by a person who has a contract with an RI to bring the vehicle into compliance with all applicable FMVSS within 120 days of entry.

Import eligibility decisions are made on a make, model, and model year basis. NHTSA has determined that the R33 Model Nissan GTS and GTR ("Skyline") passenger cars manufactured between January 1, 1996 and June 30, 1998 are eligible for importation and has assigned vehicle eligibility number VCP-32 to those vehicles. (The import eligibility number is to be entered on the HS-7 Declaration form that is to be given to Customs at the time of entry, and alerts Customs that the vehicle may be lawfully imported by an RI or by a person who has a contract with an RI, even though the vehicle is not certified by its manufacturer as complying with all applicable FMVSS.)

To learn the modifications the petitioner stated were needed to conform Nissan Skyline vehicles to the FMVSS, you should go to the DOT Docket website at http://dms.dot.gov and enter docket number 5507 in the appropriate block on the simple search screen. You should note that the petition sought import eligibility for 1990-1999 Nissan GTS and GTR "Skyline" passenger cars. After granting the petition, the agency learned that the modifications identified in the petition were not sufficient to conform certain model and model year vehicles that were covered by the petition.
A list of RIs can be found on our website at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import. You should consult the importers on that list to see whether any are willing to conform the vehicle that you seek to import to all applicable safety and bumper standards, and if so, what they would charge for that work.

If you decide to import the vehicle, one potential complicating factor is that the RI who petitioned NHTSA to determine the Nissan Skyline eligible for importation requested, and was granted, confidentiality with respect to the modifications needed to conform to the vehicle to certain of the standards. As a consequence, that importer (J.K. Technologies, LLC of Baltimore, Maryland) has claimed a proprietary interest in the modifications covered by the confidentiality grant. This does not preclude other RIs from attempting to modify the vehicle. However, should those importers not gain access to the modifications covered by the grant confidentiality, they will have to demonstrate to the agency, at the time they submit a conformity certification package for a Skyline, that they have made equivalent modifications that permit the vehicle to comply with the standards covered by the confidentiality grant.

Please note that we determined the vehicle eligible for importation based on its capability of being modified to comply with all applicable standards. We did not approve J.K. Technologies, LLC as the "exclusive" importer of the vehicle. As previously indicated, any other RI is free to import the vehicle, but will have to demonstrate in the conformity package submitted to the agency to obtain release of the conformance bond furnished at the time of importation that the vehicle has been brought into conformity with all applicable standards, including those covered by the grant of confidentiality to J.K. Technologies, LLC.

You should note that if you were to import the vehicle, the necessary modifications would have to be made by an RI, and that importer would have to certify to us that the vehicle conforms to all applicable FMVSS in effect on its date of manufacture before the vehicle could be released to be licensed or registered for on-road use. One of the reasons that an RI is required to import and modify a vehicle that was not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable FMVSS is because the RI stands in the stead of the vehicle’s original manufacturer to provide the vehicle’s owner with notification and remedy in the event that the vehicle is determined to contain a safety-related defect or a noncompliance with an applicable safety standard. Because the original manufacturer would not be responsible for the vehicle being in the U.S., it would have no legal obligation to perform this import safety responsibility.

Questions regarding modifications to conform the vehicle to applicable emissions standards should be directed to the EPA.

 

lol

4drgsr that means absolutely nothing with this vehicle

You can import ANY vehicle to the US, it just wouldn't be street legal and you'd have to pay all the taxes/etc to have it shipped over.

Illegal is specifically asking about THIS SKYLINE RIGHT HERE IN THE THREAD.

You haven't answered anything......

free bump for the skyline post with no information

 

actually dip shit you can't. read this short passage,since you missed it earlier.

The agency therefore partially rescinded its grant of eligibility, leaving only R33 model Nissan GTS and GTR passenger cars manufactured between January 1, 1996 and June 30, 1998 eligible for importation.

This car is a 1995,not 1996,therefore,it can never be registered legally,even if he payes the taxes,and follows the nhtsa guidelines. i have a few very close friends with 1996 gt-r which are legal here,and we also IMPORTED a smart car,one of 20 LEGALLY REGISTERED HERE IN THE UNITED STATES!!! i know a few things about bringing cars into the u.s. i have watched custom officials in baltimore,at the docks,cut mr-2's,noN crash tested skylines,and many other japanese domestic market cars in half. i had both pieces of the cr-x glasstop i tried to bring in 9 years ago,given to me at the docks in north carolina,so don't try to tell me that you know a lot about importing cars,mmmkay!!!! until you have one cut in half in front of you that is!!

 

You can import any car so long as you can pay the taxes on it :P

It wouldn't be road legal, but you can do it

Please look at HT's A/C forum, a person has imported a S2000 VGS from Japan

Obviously not 25 years old.

*edit*

My point of posting that is your article has nothing to do with that specific skyline - you can "register" it if you follow

I believe public can view this :

http://www.accordinglydone.com/forum...ad.php?t=12588

worth the read Chris no longer sells the Skylines listed there, but lists what it takes to make one registrable.

If you can't read that link

$75000 + 4 converted (US street legal versions) cars + crash tests/etc = registrable is the gist of it

You can bring over R32/R33/R34 but they wouldn't be legal to drive

 

What a retarded seller... yo
