Well not a lot of people know what EXACTLY has to be done to legalize it. Only the people at motorex would know that, cause they are the only ones selling them as street legal. If that info was common knowledge, motorex would be losing a lot of business. As far as the engine goes, I think it has to get more smog stuff done to it. I've heard people say that they de-tune the engines but that would be kind of stupid though. If you are paying +50,000 for a car you expect it to be as good as it is, instead of getting a de-tuned one...
Oh yeah just look at the engine codes for the size... RB25 and RB26...
2.5 liter singal turbo and 2.6 twin turbo if you still don't get it...

hahahaha. i was gonna get to that point, but i guess ill just second that.
wut is the engine size of a skyline and wut modifications must u do to have them legal in the U.S
Skylines of the BNR and BCNR generations, which I'll assume you're refering to - '32-'34 - came with a number of engines. There was the RB20DE (2.0L), the RB20DET (2.0L Turbo), RB25DE (2.5L), RB25DET (2.5L Turbo), and RB26DETT (2.6L Biturbo). All were inline sixes.
As for legalizing them, Motorex hides some of the details, but what we know is the following; they convert the headlight beam patterns for US-spec LHD, retard timing and lower boost pressure to allow for lower-octane gasoline (other modifications may be involved as well), a lot of paperwork, and some have stated that they reinforce various areas of the car to meet US crash regulations. There may be other modifications as well, especially regarding the catalytic converter system.
Motorex is the only company in the United States officially authorized to import Skylines, although there is rumor that a hold has been placed on their importation license.
Do you have a price list of the cars ? Where have you seen one for sale for $70,000 ?
We have sold R32 GT-R's legalized for $27,000 and up . R33's for $42,000 and up.
For $70,000 you could have an R32 and an R33......
If you don't know what I'm talking about, have a look at http://www.motorex.net. Skylines were never officially sold here, so they're illegal to drive in the US. You need to modify them to make them legal to drive on US roads. This is where motorex comes in, which does all the R&D work and modifications. So when you buy the car, motorex charges not only for the cost of the car, but the added cost of making the car legal, thus effectively raising the price of the car tremendously.
So, read and research about the situation with Skylines here before finding faults with what I'm saying.

Modify your bank account to hold at least $70,000 to purchase the Skyline and make it legal. You know that already by now I hope.
There is more than one Skyline engine, which engine spec are you looking for?
uh RBmotoring has an R32 GTR VSpec now for $39K USD, and its LEGAL here in the US, $70K, R33 GTR's are not even that much, you really need to do your homework!

I see. Well, tell you what, get some actual written paperwork and find me owners who are driving those Skylines legally. Maybe then I'll believe noob talk. In fact, why don't you give them a call and ask them how they legalize it?

Come on guys, Harris is obviously trolling - that or he is incredibly stupid and I'll grant him rudeness rather than stupidity. I mean, why else would he tell Sean to look at the motoRex website when Sean was the guy responsible for getting their websites up and running. Why else would he tell the guy who is responsible for a lot of the compliancing work and paperwork to prove that Skylines are legal in the US and are currently being driven.
Granted, this Harris guy could be incredibly stupid, but I will attribute his posts to trolling unless he becomes intent on proving otherwise. :dumbass:
Pardon? Well, I guess I'm better off minding my own business, aren't I? Speaks for what I know. As I said, prove to me that you can get them for cheaper, and I'll admit I was wrong. But I guess you want to degrade yourself with your name-calling BS. Instead of making this situation worse, you could easily have said I was wrong, and I would gladly shut my mouth. Before you call me a troll, spend some time reading my posts in the Sentra section. Try being a little mature, maybe it'll make you look less like an idiot and more like someone who contributes to useful information.
