Sorry if its a dumb question but I've heard that Nissan Skylines aren't legal in the US and I'm wondering if its true and if so why? Is it because of the positioning of the drivers seat?
 
its because they fail to meet US DOT crash standards, have non DOT approved glass, etc etc.

there are some legal ones.... ones that were done legally though motorex before they went under.

it has nothing to do with being right hand drive.
 
Yup! Perfectly legal, just a pain in the ass and expensive to import and register.

Or go buy a new one off the lot!

Saw one rolling around in austin the other day. Sexy little bastards.
 
Oh I see, so in short they suck as far as safety goes so they're illegal... That makes sense.

Holy crap thats one sexy car... Sorry for the double post btw, is there no way to edit posts??
 
lol no they don't necessarily suck as far as saftey goes, they just don't meet the US guidelines which are sometimes outlandish. Sometimes not though.

You can probably edit your post once you're no longer a greenhorn. Everyone else can...

they are probably far safer than any civic ever made... but the DOT hasn't approved it.

why?

A 'Skyline conversion on a Talon'? What does that mean? Buying a cheapo 'R34-style' body-kit from E-Bay and molding in some Skyline headlights?

he isn't happy about the bankruptcy. he's laughing at the irony of our government giving them billions in taxpayer dollars to recover from a self imposed hole of debt due to a shitty product, poor planning, and fiscal irresponsibility.
