where do you read that this car is legal in the US?The body looks wrong without the GT-R fender flares on the front end.
so buy some?......
and after so many years any car is considered legal in the US... in some states you would have to meet emissions but around here it would be legal to register. i believe its considered a collectors car or something of the sort.

the only way to legally register the car in the US is to import like 5 of them(I think that was the last number I heard anyways). Then you give those 5 to one of the certified crash test agencies for crash testing to make sure they are up to standards. After that, you can import the specific years and models the government approved, and you have to apply for a US vin or the equivalent of some sort of vehicle identification. The company that started this back in 1999 was some place on the east coast called JK technologies. However, they only crash tested R33's, so the government limited the eligibilty to 96-98 skylines(they originally requested all years of skylines be legalized). So you can actually register any 96-98 skyline GTS, GTS-T, or GTR if you go through the proper paperwork.
