Show / Off-Road Use Only
Additionally, it should be noted that there are a number of Skylines in the US listed as off- road (read: racing) purposes only. A vehicle imported for "Show or Display" may receive NHTSA approval to be driven on the highway, but the odometer must not register more than 2,500 miles in a 12-month period. NHTSA approval of limited on-road use is to allow the vehicle to be driven to and from nearby displays of similar automobiles. Another reason permission is granted is to maintain the vehicle’s engine, braking, lighting, and other dynamic systems in good working order. The Catch: The vehicle is still required to meet EPA requirements. If the original engine in the vehicle will be replaced with a non-original engine to meet EPA requirements, it must be identified in your application since it may impact on the technological or historical significance of the vehicle, thereby resulting in a denial of the application. Such permits are rarely granted and are monitored closely.

Well that's nice, but it still doesn't matter. Im pretty sure If you drove around a RHD car that isn't registered/insured/let alone legal one of two things will happen: A) A cop will see you driving on the 'wrong side' and weather or not you are doing something illegal or not...will pull you over. Thus you'll get 100% completely fucked in the ass (huge fees/car crushed) or B) You do something illegal (speeding, roll through a stop sign) and get pull over, or even worse, get into an accident...and...you guessed it; get fucked.

Not to be a 'hater' or anything but I wouldn't EVER drive it around, even if it is to wash it and show it off. It's probably the dumbest thing ever.

dur did you forget about the RHD civic. yes not completely legit but still "on the wrong side"..... i never had any problems with cops for the year that i drove it around here nd in fergus and also before i owned it a few of te previous owners got pulled over in it and was nothing but a laugh...

one of the time;s i was driving it the cop asked how it made it over on a boat in good condition... then said it looked like hondas rust in japan too... then i told him it was converted, and gave him my reg. and insurance and said he didnt know if it was legal in ND or not so he told me to bring it home

DelSlow

I bet a big determining factor as to why they didnt give ya huge fine/crush it was you handed them proof of insurance and registration. lol

drift86

Will you are correct but I have a couple days leway since it is registered in canada but after that is pulled off it I will not drive it unless its on the track.

Anything that happens after getting pulled over for no good reason is thrown out in court...so even if they found it to be illegal, they have to look the other way. Same thing works for DUI/Drugs, etc etc etc. If the stop wasn't handled correctly, the cop is SOL.

DelSlow

Really? Because im pretty sure its perfectly legal for a police officer to pull you over with the 'suspicion ' that you were not wearing your seat belt. It would be mighty easy to just say that was the reason...

drift86

Ya they wouldn't pull me over for driving on the "wrong" side but if anything else is out of place they can.

HOT SECKS!!! Besides its North Dakota who's really going to care about it not technically being legal to drive here. Most cops aren't even going to know what it is let alone that its not federalized. Oh and just to reiterate P you fail

This, sexy car. most cops dont know what it is.

Looks good Max, but you should have bought a BMW if it is going to be a track car, no one else makes anything remotely close, especially no fart can Jap Crap.

drift86

Lol well I can't justify spending 15-30k on a car I'm going to wreck. That price is based on an e46 m3. In my opinion the only one worth buying. So ill stick to my pos jap crap and drift the hell out of it.

TsiTom

Looks like a glorified 240sx to me.... lol jk Nice car max!! A grille and FMIC would really set off the front end nicely.

drift86

I have a whole gtr front end coming on the next container along with a aftermarket intake manifold, injectors, and fmic kit(not sure if I'll use a fmic or vmount) I already have custom turbo manifold and dp just need a sc61 and engine management and ill be set for over 500hp which I don't want so ill tune for around 400hp and as high torque I can get.

91teggy

Probably just put a US Mail Sticker on the side and a small light on top you will be set

drift86

That would get me in more trouble then I would get in normally.

Why does the legality of any of this matter to anyone besides Max? If he drives this for 2 years, with no problems, I can't wait to see the bandwagon. He is testing the waters for EVERYONE (that would be interested in a Skyline). If he fails, he loses a grip of money and we all know it wont work. Within the scene, we all modify our cars to basically come to the standards of Japan.

Examples:

How many people have modified their crash beam to fit a bigger intercooler/bumper?
How many have removed their cats on their cars?
How many people have non-DOT seats?
How many have cars lowered/raised out of DOT standards?
How many of our cars meet EPA requirements?

Point being we all operate cars that we have modified from DOT standards, to sub-par. I'm sure the first person in the area to run an open downpipe was scared, but after no issues, we all have.

Max has a unique situation. If he gets into an accident, he is screwing the other driver over, as well as himself. He will have to pay out of pocket for repairs to both vehicles. If Max gets pulled over and the cop happens to know a thing or 2 about JDM cars (there are a few that I know in town that will see that car, and know it isn't legit), he is going to have to export the car back to Canada (something he has already said wouldn't be tough to do). If what he is doing is 'stupid', then let him make the mistake....But again, I bet this isn't the last Skyline to get imported in the area if he DOESN'T get caught.

His 'stupidity' is testing waters for all of us.

well put sir :icon_salut:

drift86

Well explained sir. The only thing I would like to make clear to others is that MY insurance company will insure it under liability only which means it is LEGALLY insured. So if an acident does happen I am still ok. I do not plan on making this the most know car by fpd. I plan on taking it to the track, a show n shine or 2, maybe one meet and the local car show. If I get in trouble its my ass not yours. The only thing I can see coming from this thread on this site is people like delslow that doesn't really care for me personally and would see me driving it and call me in. I have the ability to export the car any second I want and it would still be mine. Also if they do find it "illegal" then they send me a letter saying I have 60 days to export they won't just take it and crush it. I don't care if you don't approve of my situation, I bought this car for me and to see what would happen when I try to register it.

FG2

If it is legally insured, then that makes this situation all on him, and doesn't put the rest of us in a world of hurt if he hits us. Now there is no reason to worry about his business.
