Can anyone elaborate on what regulations the Skyline doesn't meet for US specifications? Is it just too dang fast and not safe enough if you crash?

crash worthiness (from all sides), on board diagnostics (thats obd, government mandate for all cars post 1995), emmissions, and probably a few other minor stuff like vin issuing.

us is probably the most anal country when it comes to cars 👎
 
So the skyline doesn't have that plug where the DMV can plug in their computer to your car and get all the car data? Come on thats really anal. I understand about mabye not having side air bags, but still thats really anal to have the US have such harsh restrictions.

Any company that deals with importing cars and modifying them to meet US laws can do it if you pay them.

Wrong do u want me to give u a list of registerd RIs and let u call them ask them. The only company that has the crash test results and other info on how to legalize is MOTOREX who is out of business and will sell them for checked today 2.5 million dollars. Nobody else has the crash test results and info on legalizing them. Btw if u do wnat to call the RI all there nubmers are toll free. The diagonistics issue is in the OBDII itself once agian motorex says if u want the info u goto pay for it all.
 
I've seen them imported by other companies. I can't recall who but I know I've seen it. Don't know the exact details and whatnot. Possibly there is another way to get them legally here, like taking them apart in japan and reassembling here.
 
There is no LEGAL way to do except through mtorex who is out of buissnes i'm sry i've called and the mods over at AF who OWN skylien can tell u also. They my import them but legalizing here in the US u HAD to go through motorex who is out of buisness.
 
Why go through so much trouble just to have a car with more computers to troubleshoot when they go out? Sounds sort of worthless to me.

As for the original question, I'll elaborate on RX 7s, as that's what I know :D

The second gen RX 7 are probably also confusing you.

The '85 is the base model, no holds barred RX 7. It didn't have a sunroof (some DID, for some reason, but weren't supposed to), didn't have backseats, had the storage bins covered (by a little wood/plastic peice), no PS, PW, PM, anything like that. 6 Port 13B NA (although it's turbo in the game. WTF?), FI, with the rotors that weren't high compression (pretty much still running a first gen 13B!)

The 90 GTU is a higher end model. I always thought that GTU was an NA model, but in this game it's turbo :(
Made more power due to higher compression rotors. It had a computerized suspension, smart power steering, some models came with backseats (in the US, at least). Sunroof, ABS (I think), the works. Fat ass white guy model.

The Infini is a high end model, with a twin scroll turbo, and was just the bare essentials (trying to be like the first gen, still, the fat old thing was too big, and failed at that).
 
Actually, the stock Rb26dett is 280 HP with a Twin Turbo. If you put a HKS Supercharger kit, you'll already get to like 520 HP. At this time, no one can put much power in a Skyline then HKS so...
any good single big turbo rb26dett will put out 500-1000 horsepower with little internal mods (mabie headgasket, piston/con rods, headwork for 700ish+)

i happened to make it to motorex when i was on vacation in cali and they were nice enough to let me look around and take some pics, i stood next to the silver blitz skyline which has ~800 hp and held a speed record somwhere, autobahn or somthing.

In most models they use trim levels... for the skyline as mentioned R32/33/34 are the differences in year models... as for the V-Spec, V-Spec II, M-Spec, M-Spec Nur its just all different options the real car's have, some are tuned differently in real life (i.e. transmission) thus making the trans. ratio a lot shorter for quicker shifting... etc etc. some luxury options in interior also sports tuned suspension.... if you can buy each model of the R34 Skyline and drive them all on the same track without any mods, you'll eventually feel the difference in their handeling and shifting.

This brings to mind the USDM Sentra SE-R and SE-R Spec-V, the Spec-V has more HP/TQ than the regular SE-R plus 17 inch alloys and faster gears... plus the engine is tuned differently for the extra power. Thus this goes for the RX7's and any other car's that appear the same. :)

The Sentra isn't in the game is it? But just because one car maker does something with the names doesn't mean it applies to all cars.

I hate it when you kids make me do research. I don't even like skylines but since fast and furious, they come in conversations sometimes. Anyways, here you go. Never doubt me again. Thanks. :sly:

The 2nd Gen RX7s in the game are all Japanese spec, all of which had turbos.
 
Dude i was a fan of the skyline WAY b4 2 fast 2 gay my first skyline expiernce was when i saw a R33 blasted around the 13-miles and 172 corners of the Nordschleif circuit in 7 minutes 59 seconds. Setting the new world record for a stock car and the ring. RB motoring could never leglize skylines. they got their cars from mrex. they are however in the process of getting their petition to legalize skylines looked over by NHSTA, USDOT, and EPA. Also u talk bout reasearch do u know who did the crash test for Motorx? J.K. Tecnologies a.k.a. J.K. Motors. I know some of the guys on Automotive Forums have had the oppertunity to talk/visit the owener of Rbmotoring and right now they are like stated in the process of getting approved. All the skylines they sold went through motroex first.
 
So you were a fan of the skyline ever since it blasted around the ring setting a new record only to have the title stripped from it for not being a stock car because the limiter was disabled, the boost was turned up, and the suspension and 4wd system had been modified? Oh yeah one heck of a stock car there.

Autocar took one out again later and got 8:16....Not quite a record time there.

You got a link that proves this. I got the link there saying otherwise. I don't mean some ricers on a forum saying otherwise. PROOF. Until then I'm calling BS. Man, I need one of these, the big ones... better make it two.
 
Through recent years, the Nissan Skyline GTR has been brought over to US shores exclusvely by MotoRex and legalized for enjoyment here on public roads and highways. As rare as the cars may seem, getting yourself behind the wheel of your very own Nissan Skyline GTR may not be as far fetched of a dream as you may have been led to believe.


RB Motoring is a company that established a 12,500 sq/ft facility centrally located in the City of Industry, CA in 2003 to help make the Nissan Skyline GTR more available to the general US consumer. We are a Registered Importer. Our staff are all highly experienced individuals so that your specific needs can be properly accommodated. Although "special orders" can be accommodated, each vehicle that we offer for sale is imported, legalized, and prepared for sale so that you, the customer, may survey the vehicle prior to committing to purchasing it.

We maintain a manageable selection of vehicles for you to choose from so that you may have a better understanding of what you will be purchasing. You can see the color of the car, and review its condition and personally evaluate it to see if it will suit your desires. We are also in the works of becoming a respected portal for enthusiasts to the renown Mitsubishi Evolution and Nissan Silvias. Our great momentum has been fueled by enthusiasts around the world. We look forward to helping you achieve your dreams.

On another note, we also import, warehouse, and distribute select high quality Japanese aftermarket automotive performance and accessory product lines such as Gialla, Power Enterprise, Attain, SARD, HKS, A'Pex-i, and Nismo just to name a few. For interested dealers, simply FAX over your business tax information to: (626) 961-7803 and a product line card and dealer application will be sent back via FAX.

I bet somehow, you're still gonna say I'm wrong. :banghead:
 
R33 should be the most popular R-series Skylines in North America. I just saw one here in Toronto last month. That was the first ever R I have seen.
 
Ok i'll make u all a deal i will email Rbmotoring through there website and ask them if they are legalizing skylines. Btw rbmotoring sells legalized skyline but they got legalized through motorex. But wait a few days and i'll post the email. If u want u can email and ask them also u will believe me.
 
Proven what is wrong? U were saying they can and do LEGALIZE skylines. They dont they ones they had imported they send to MOTOREX to have them conveted and then sold them. Nobody else has the data on what need to be done but motorex. I will have a email in a few days. BTW the Ring incident is under appeal nissian is saying that was the nismo version which sold the required amount to be considerd for the stock record.
 
I have proven it. I have posted the links, you just keep talking. Until you PROVE me wrong, your talking does nothing. You should just stop talking until you have proof. Like I said, there is a reason they are registered importers, they say they import and legalize skylines, and I know of somebody that has gotten one through them. You see how short that list of registered importers is? You really think they got on that list just to resell cars they buy from motorex. Right.... Just get some PROOF. No need to reply to this until you do (so, I reckon no reply will be needed ever).
 
there are sinifigant diffs from the r31 32 33 34 :drool:

i can get skylines around here, theres some in the buy n sell for 9-30k canadian. monely r33 and 32's however ive seen one 34. as for the states, i think you can get em, just alot of insuance.


and...lol theres a company that brings imports into british columbia, like mostly nissans, like 180's and skylines. at the docks :)
 
ok kids...listen up. RB motoring does not i repeat, does NOT legalize skylines. they can import them, but all the legalization process went through mrex. and now that Hiro is being sued, and the company of mrex itself has many class action lawsuits against it, they have stopped legalizing all together. there is no current way to get skylines in the united states as of this point.


the differences between the r32, 33, and 34 GT-R's is very minmal aside from the exterior changes.

the main changes were the settings. the active attessa system by default in the r32 and r34's settings were 70r/30f while in the r33 they were around 90r/10f. the wheel base was at 178 in., 184 for the r33, and 181 for the r34, and the r34 gtr using wider tires.

the supercars.net facts are off on the skylines. the r33 did not use the attessa ets pro. the pro system was reserved for the vspec models. the horsepower ratings were set at 276whp for each car. and as far as it saying that the sky was a 4 cylinder we all know is wrong, and the torque numbers are also very far off.

the r34's rb26 got alittle bit more bottom end power, with an increase in torque. i can keep going on, but im just boring you all.

im going to goahead and call bs on you.

canadas laws state that no car under 15 years old may be imported into the country. period. although im sure there are exceptions for company sponsored cars, it is illegal to have a 90+ skyline in the country.

the states has to have the car legalized by mrex, but currently there is no way of getting them. we do have a law similar to the 15 year rule in canada though, except its 25 years.
insurance in the states is a pain. its classified under "exotic/sports", causing some peoples insurance to go upwards of 5-600 dollars a month.
