Yes they are, FEDERAL law trumps state law. Only "legal" skyline I believe is the R33 GT-S because that is what MotoRex crash tested back in the day. So most all the MotoRex cars got grandfathered in, and R33 gt-s's are legal, but I doubt with all that has been going on lately that it would be easy to get a R33 imported these days.

aah i see.. well that sucks for you guys.. i suppose you could "rent" a house in canada and register the car there? then just drive around the states and get all your shit sent to Canada come registration time??

But yeah, i just noticed the OP is 17.. Pipe dreams my friend..

just buy a 35 and be done with it..

Ok so then explain how people get them registered in states like Arizona, Montana, washington, etc. Yeah they are illegal as hell in some state namely California but still I see them driven on the street and know people that drive them and other JDM cars on the streets, hell even I've driven a Jdm mr2 turbo on the street and didn't get messed with because the person who's car it was went through a lot, and I mean a lot (years and years) of bullshit to get it legal in Cali. There are ways to do it legally and get em registered whether having a dealer license or registering it as a project car. Is it a pain in the ass, yes. Is it worth it, IMO no. Can it be done, yes.

Yea you can get them state registered sure, but the government can come take your car whenever they want if they feel like it. EPA and federal laws trump state laws. Cars that are already here but "JDM" ones are brought over are a bit easier to do.

There is still one company that legalizes R33's. Prepare your checkbook...
