Just testing waters here so no flaming me straight away.

How many people would be interested in getting skylines the kit car way?

Rolling chassis and engine and tranny seperately?

I'm sure they would be plenty that would love to have them. We have many enquiries every week from U.S customers doing this same thing. It's a pitty they have to strip a killer car to bring it in.

Yes it is a shame.

After talking to my sister usa company yesterday and talks with the nhtsa R32 will not be allowed to be imported after the recent decision is finalised and they are still unsure over the R34's due to obdII issues even though the facility are available to sort those out

And R33 will only be 1997-1998 years due to dual airbags...its all getting a bit silly really right now and so kit car will be the only way for the majority of models.

Whatever it takes. If someone wants the greatest car on the planet, do whatever it takes to make that dream come true. Like the saying goes, "if you build it, they will come!"

in the US its not illegal to imports car parts and its not illegal to assemble those parts into a vehicle etc.

A skyline kit car is a very broad term and does not constitute an actual kit car in its truest meaning.

The skyline would be taken apart in japan, these are the parts that would be removed

Engine
transmission
bumper
hood
intercooler
trunk
rear bumper
doors
seats.

You would then be left with a rolling chassis. All parts are shipped to you seperately and you would put them together and get the car emmissions tested and titled and dependant on which state your in an inspection of the vehicle.

You would then have a state legal car. But this would not work in the state of california.

A really nice low mileage example would cost you about $5000-$6000 and really nice highly modified will be a little more. Then add the shipping and dismantling of the vehicle and your looking at about $10,000-$13,000
