does anyone know how to register a car that has been imported from japan like a RHD CRX or a skyline or something lik that.

 

 

ya just take it down and say whats up bitches I gots me a RHD car and what
many ways, take it apart put it together as a kit car, use any other car vin for it such as junker car etc.

 

Well, there's really only 2 good ways to do it:
one is the legal way, which I outline in my how to on this (you should search more) its really expensive and complicated. not really possible unless your ungodly rich.
the second is semi legal, which is what Im doing, and registering it as a grey market vehicle. I thought this wasnt possible before (I swear I read it wasnt possible somewhere) but I checked with my BMV and they told me I'd only have to have a out of state inspection done on it.

you can do **** like VIN swaps (highly illegal) or claim it as a kit car or register it as a show car, but that kinda **** limits the miles you can put on it and what not (and they do check on that ****)

 

aight man thanks for your help... i just had this ? because today i saw a skyline driving on the streets and i was amazed because that is something you dont see evryday... so if i was to buy one id have to switch the vins with those of another car.

 

Kit car! That is how wonderful things come to be like the Noble M12 that don't pass any sort of safety or whatever regulations (psssh you don't need ABS, airbags, etc on a twin turbo 6 cylinder that does 0-60 in like 3.3 seconds)!!!!


Never seen a skyline in real life... Wow.

 

pm me for info, i can get any rhd car registered LEGAL...


its gonna cost you tho.

 

I'm unaware of the restraints regarding imports in the US, but up here in Canada all RHD imports are legal assuming that they are 15+ years old. BTW: I see a skyline nearly every day in the summer.

 

move to TN, you can register anything there.

not that i would know...........

I could care less what you do to cars, trying to charge somebody for a service thats next to nothing is BS.
All you need to do to register these cars is paper work and at most if your BMV gives you ****, change out the bumper support and headlights/lenses. Thats it. I doubt anybody on here wants to pay you to go do minor paperwork for them, and change a bumper and headlights.

I did do my homework, and I know its not **** to register these things if you do it right,

umm yeah its not that easy in California

 

There is a company that legally imports Skylines to the US. Motorex or something I think was the name of the company...

 

My Honda Beat is registered as a grey market vehicle.

No normal insurance company would touch it, so I had to go with a collector car insurance company. There is an annual mileage cap, but they don't check unless you're making a claim.

They were using their permission to import R33's to import R32's and R34's, which is a no-no.

From WikiPedia:

"Only 1996-1998 R33 models have been demonstrated as capable of being modified to meet the federal motor vehicle safety standards. After that, only these 1996-1998 models are eligible for importation. In March of 2006, Motorex ceased all imports and Motorex principal Hiroaki "Hiro" Nanahoshi was arrested and held on $1 million bail on financial, kidnapping, and assault charges."

Yea but the problem is getting the car into the states past EPA and customs, they will never let the car go. If someone knows how do that, post it up.
