I really hate to
or ::dead horse:: but how about some other question i have?
I just found a JZA70 complete car for $3000 needs minor work actualy he haves two cars.
The guy and a couple people told me they legaly register 9 digit vins vers 10 digit USA vins goto chp dmv then REF and pass such cars as RHD skylines integras RHD with JDM engines and a handfull of even new cars dont come with EGR CA street legal. The speed shop told me complete cars in USA past customs usualy dont get DOT inspections but they are verry strong on passing SMOG so if the car is a complete JZA70 supra which did get into canada and usa accepts canadian cars federaly is it possible to do this legal like everyone says.
The reason I ask is because I know a handfull of people driving RHD or skylines with cars that never were sold or made into the USA but original and passed and are street legal is this really possible and as easy as they tell me.
just added pics of the cars also thanks.

I would love to say yes.. but the "Referee" made it clear that if the car/motor was not originally sold in the US it will not be able to be Registered!
The California BAR is a bunch of NAZI's... I also heard about Feds impounding RHD Skylines that have snuck through the cracks much like you have stated...
Best bet is to find "Someone":naughty:
Do not know if it applies to you guys, but don't all car clear out as classics after 24 years and inspection goes easier? Or is that just texas?
There is a reason MOTOREX is not allowed to bring in skylines anymore.
you will not be able to register a 1jz powered car here as is.

Actually, that is because the owner was doing not so nice things and the feds came in a shut the party down.
motorex skylines were legal to drive in the streets until the owner decided to be a sneaky little gnome and register different models of skylines to the R33 ( i think). motorex paid crash testers to test a R33 GT(?) and only received an approval stamp on that one model, and he stole lots of money from his customers. he also stole their cars, and scammed like no tomorrow.suprastanger507mgte;1072347 said:
I just spoke to a local sherrif.
He told me that yes you can register a RHD & Get a CA Title. I personaly know at least 20 people who got a legit title and fully registered RHD cars in the US. They dont really care about DOT & crash testing once it is passed customs then DOT is pretty much over looked kind of how millitary people get help in imports that way they could throw stuff in thier MAC flight or allowed to bring back so much with enough room. Bypasses alot of the customs onlyin certain areas like cars are easy live animals pets no.
THE BIGGY IS SMOG! If you could get your car through REF or smog then that is it maybe using 1/5 alchy fuel natural gas fuelled up from a custom home fuel tap propain if your car does birp out fluffy sunshine then it can be legaly driven and registered in this state.
Gspeed/Proto/sherrif/20+ Legally registered RHD cars cant be wrong. I will let you know further info when I P/U the car.

LOL!
You are aware that to get past customs requires two forms.
In particular.

Not having those forms =

That last word is key.
