hey guys, this was probably asked a lot but im wondering on how i can get an r34 nissan skyline gtr imported to the US (Los Angeles specifically) i also wanted to know how much it is altogether with the car, importing it, making it legal, and all that stuff..plus i would probably also be heavily modding it so how would i be able to get parts for it too,, is all this even possible? please leme know thanks..

 

You cannot currently legally import a R34 as an intact vehicle to the USA for street use. No Registered Importers can legalize the car at this time as it has been pulled from the non-compliant but eligible vehicles.

Current import information is here:

You can import a Kaizo R34 though. It is basically a R34 unibody with interior, but no drivetrain. You can then buy the drivetrain from someone else and have it assembled here. Kinda like a kit car.

Anyone considering importing or buying a US made chassis like the Kaizo without drivetrain is well advised to very carefully read the NHTSA, DOT, and *especially* EPA documentation on car assembly. Most states are amicable to this car being registered, but registration and compliance are different issues.

I will not comment on where a Kaizo falls, but anyone who's going to spend $65,000+ for a R34 shell (and then more on the premium parts you'd like to finish it with) owes it to themselves to spend a significant amount of time researching the compliance law at the federal level and then deciding how to proceed.

 

some Kaizo's for motivation:

 

theres a guy in Irvine with a Kazio R32. its no big deal, just gotta register it as a kit car. for CA, they only issue 500 EPA waivers per year for kit cars, though, so you basically have to wait in line to get one. most guys register out of state because its easier.

here's one for sale, located in LA, already done but its registered in Arizona. registering it here will likely be more difficult. http://www.focusautosales.com/catego...4-for-sale.php
