I found a great deal on an r34 and wanted to make sure i can get it legalized before i make a deal, any one know of any place in the tri state area that can have one legalized?

 

No one has the rights to federally legalize a skyline in the US. You can get them State legal depending on how you bring them over.

 

+1! I know i guy that has one here in VA all legal. Don't know how he got it though, or which company.

 

Try CAR V2 they are going to be a dealer in the US for skiylines.

 

Call carv2. one of the guys there just got his r34 nur spec gt-r. 302-998-6988

 

The R33 is the only Skyline that can be legally imported/legalized now. The US gov't will not legalize the R32 or R34 anymore.

 

Correct, but in DE or PA ( i think)you can get it registered as a kit car.

 

I believe the definition of a "kit" car is that the car can only contain X% of factory parts and/or cannot be a production car.

 

If the R34 that you are thinking of purchasing was not brought into the country legally, you cannot "make it legal" even if it's already here. It must be brought into the country according to DOT/NHTSA/Customs guidelines.

If it is a screaming deal and the current owner has all the paperwork intact and the car has never been in the DMV system, you could export it Japan and bring it in properly. I can help with this.

Of course there's alway a "guy who knows a guy at DMV" who can get it into the system. Unfortunately, there's always that risk of getting it siezed. I cannot help you in this manner.

It's an expensive process and the car will only be 49 state legal. So hopefully your not in cali.

Good luck with it. Let's see the car. I probably know about it.

 

theres a guy from jersey who has an r33 he has a whole folder of paperwork just for the car sitting in his glove compartment.

 

That's what I originally believed also. We were both wrong. That is not the definition of a kit car, but the information is out there. Just start doing the footwork. It's like going to the library via google. Kit cars also have to meet certain DOT/NHTSA criteria also.

 

just buy this one

Thats the one im looking at, the guy has even offered to bring it down to my house, thx for the suggestions also

 

Good luck...you'll prolly need it.

 

There is a dealer here around chicago called octane performance. Something along those lines. They bring r34s in left and right. They do a kit car vin on it. On your papers its gona say like 91 honda accord. My friend has a 02 Yellow R34 here and its a 91 Honda Accord on the papers.

 

WHEN

 

Dealers don't do that. That is called fraud. Dealers loose their licence and get punished for fraud. If there is a company in the Chicago area that is doing that, they're not a dealer. They're a hustler.

The sad thing about doing it that way is the insurance pay out for a 91 accord is like $500.00. That sucks. When you get stopped by a cop in the "know", your fcuked.. . bye bye skyline hello fines and crush fees.
