I have a weird question yet is somewhat relevant considering 3D printing is getting better and better. There's this guy online that made a full size replica of the old james bond aston Martin using a 3D printer. Hypothetically speaking, if one were to do the same with a skyline , would it be eligible as a kit car since the parts made to use it were not intended to be used on a skyline? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but i think people on this thread are the most savvy as far as skyline laws are concerned. ..

Isn't kit car registration a state level process as opposed to federal? If you are producing the parts and constructing the car yourself I don't see why it wouldn't qualify as a kit car. Are Shelby Cobra kit cars simply registered as kit cars? Interesting topic.

Indeed it is state, my uncle has an ac cobra kit btw with the smog exemption certificate . The only hurdle i foresee is the glass, headlights and molding. If the body panels are made to fit on a tubeframe chassis, you can add in interior panels after the car is inspected. I'm surprised that no one has done this yet, maybe that means I'll need to try!

CNC'd foam is a much more cost effective and efficient way of producing a body buck like that... i.e. http://www.contactscale.com/ But if you are going to build a car as a tribute to the original why not pick a more rare or exotic car? That's why the Aston db4 replica makes sense.

Very good point. The only reason to not go that route is usually a foam full size car is more expensive than what it'd cost to do it at home. And as afar as more exotic and rare, I live in Communist California lol, Skylines are as rare as anything else lol. Most likely i'll try to find someone or some company that has already made a body mold of a skyline for Drag racing purposes like Wiggs Motorsports out of new Zealand. Again, a good point, which may ultimately be a solution if all else fails

JDM cars as "kit cars" have been tried, repeatedly. Kaizo did this, as well as others. I believe the end result was how much "kit" it was, verse just trying to subvert the law. just like there are now holden UTE kit cars using GTO chassis's and vin numbers. the car still has to maintain 60% GTO to be registered as that.

little article by motor trend on the "kit car" work around and how well that went for them.
http://wot.motortrend.com/feds-begin...rnia-6257.html

There is some guy out in Cali right now selling and registering "his kit cars" as "nissanie"





Dude has this one f/s for 180k if you are interested..... sounds like a big gamble to me, but some are willing to risk it.

anyways, enough of the thread jack, cars look amazing ODS. That Mine's tuned car is sublime. Look forward to seeing more.
