Mookistar · 21st January 2008, 05:01 PM

SmigzyGTR · 21st January 2008, 05:02 PM

WickedOne513 · 21st January 2008, 05:04 PM

there is a thread on here about what it takes to get them in the states and also what happen to the last people that tried that

Miss Angie · 22nd January 2008, 02:23 PM

We do get them but it takes a sh*t load of money to get them street legal, but im thinking ummmmmmm fu*k it cause if we get them street legal then we can sell em for ALOT of MONEY. GIMME MY MONEY

Miss Angie · 22nd January 2008, 02:24 PM

Mookistar · 22nd January 2008, 02:25 PM

Smigz's you can probably get them legaly, and theres plenty enough of them to go around dont be mean at me.

Miss Angie · 22nd January 2008, 02:28 PM

No thats just it, its not EASY but i can and do get them but as it stands now we can only sell them as show cars, so the people that buy em cant drive them (legaly).

Last time I looked into and asked about getting my R33 legal over there it sounded more like a headache than a massive expense. Apparently if you strip the car down to pretty much a parts-bin, then export it to the states and re-assemble it into 1 car again over there, it can be legalised.

The laws may have changed in the last year or so, but that was the cheapest option back then.

Do a search through my threads and you should find it.

(P.S) - Mook your sig is hilarious

Im not a yank I live in NC i am like dirty south REDNECK w/ big mud grip tires

Miss Angie · 22nd January 2008, 02:37 PM

yeah we already do that to get them here but even still they arent legal cause you gotta have it DOT approved and that is the hard part just for example, you gotta put striphome in the bumpers, cut out a firewall in the left side to show that you did a conversion you have to get them crash tested so the list goes on and on But if you can do all that then you could baisicly mas produce them LEGALY. But no just cause you get them here dosent mean anything and the title oh forget it thats just a peice of paper showing ownership cause the vin #'s in japan are like 9 numbers and here its like 17 numbers. So?

Miss Angie · 22nd January 2008, 02:39 PM

LOL

Have you got any pics of the ones already in?

Is it all imports that are like that or just Skylines/Jap cars?

MADsteve · 22nd January 2008, 03:16 PM

In that case then, I suggest you resort to dirty tricks and find your nearest state governor, and then bribe his ass.

If you're a redneck, then does than mean you want to turn one into a pick-up or something?? That'd be a 1st here
