Why are Nissan Skylines illegal in the US? JDM OVERLOAD EP1

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

There are some myths and a lot of guessing as to why the Nissan Skyline is illegal in the US. Don’t get me wrong, I wish we could import R34 GT-Rs as easily as Canada and Australia. But there are some not so clear reasons why Godzilla has a hard time getting to American shores. This is the first episode of a new series.

    Bugatti: 1001 hp, W16 engine with quad turbos. Legal. Skyline GTR: 300 hp, Inline 6 with two turbos. Illegal.

    it's illegal cause it's less than 25 years old and needs to meet us emissions laws, however the R32 can now be imported cause it's over 25 yrs old

    The video states the reasons why it's illegal (Nissan never made a US-Spec Skyine.) The 25 year rule is a RESULT of those reasons (the grey market, lobbying funded by Mercedes etc) The show or display rule, the 25 year rule are more like exceptions than they are limitations. I honestly see the 25 year rule as a loophole to getting cars that would otherwise be illegal in the states.

    The VIN isn't an issue actually. The DMV and most insurance companies will work with you if you provide a shorter Japanese VIN

    I actually am subscribed to a Japanese car auction and exporter site called Japan Partner and I asked them the regs. I'm just confirming what you said plus adding more. So don't get me wrong, I am agreeing here... cops were breaking down on the imports cause of the shorter vin thing a few years ago cause most insurance companies and DMVs would just add 0s to the vin or something like that to trick the system into accepting the car. The 25 year rule may have been cause of this but something similar was in place long before that for smog emissions on domestic vehicles (used to be anything made before 1975 didn't need a smog check I believe). Now it's set to 25 years.

    So to summarize: the Skyline will go so fast, so quick, according to some extrapolations of Einstein's equations of general relatively (& special relativity), the GT-R, if it accelerates fast enough, and builds enough of a velocity(under a parametric curve)/speed (yes, faster than "c") will cause the car to travel back in time. I understand now. Thanks and NASA does not approve (like) Nissan because they beat them to their own game.

    Yeah, he later explains the real reason some cars aren't legal in the U.S. A few other videos from California show that stock Skylines can't pass CA emissions test. Along with a bunch of cars that aren't even remotely sporty and have chances of outrunning a crown vic about as such of a bicycle. Nothing to do with their speed. Speaking of which, I hate to disappoint some of you, but stock Skylines aren't the fastest cars in the world :-) And certainly there are faster cars that are totally legal in the U.S., including CA (which has it's own additional tightass car emission requirements).

    I don't even know if it's officially legal in the U.S. Does that contraption have a catalytic converter at all? If it don't then probably not. DMV don't care if it costs $2 million or what. But then, if you've got Veyron you can probably afford to pay a registration ticket every time you drive it and get pulled over. BUT THEN - if a cop sees a Veyron - I think the registration will be the last on his mind. He'll probably still pull you over for something stupid just to look at the car, etc. See videos of a dude on a fire-spitting Lambo getting pulled over and talking to the cops.

Someone robbed a bank and stole a stash worth 2 billion dollars. The person I mean that had this Nissan R-34 GT-R completely tuned I think which he used to escape the bank but ended up getting caught after I don't know the exact time of chasing but you can guess it from the way He switched straight away three states in a single day. The safety regulation feature test on this car that made it banned is insanely false. The reality is that your dummy donut eating pups couldn't handle this beast so they pulled it out of the roads.

    Basically if you want some kind of informative conclusion, the US 25 year import rule applies to any kind of car, that was originally not intended to be sold in the US. Back in the 1980's when japanese cars became more and more popular, the more expensive european cars weren't able to compete with the prices. So during late 80's, a bunch of Mercedes lobbyists were hired, demanding tighter regulations and the 25 year import rule for the foreign cars in the US market. Now some car manuafacturers kept some of their models to themselves because of the tighter regulations, while some models were never intended to be sold outside their homeland. An example of these cars are the Nissan Skylines ranging all the way from the 50's to the last production year of R34.

    What a load of BS. There are many legal GT-Rs in the U.S. I see them a couple times a month on streets here in California. The horsepower thing... Sure 500 hp is a lot, but there are tons of American cars that have as much and more. A Z06 Corvette in fact has a higher power-to-weight ration than a GT-R, and possibly a higher top speed and whatnot. And it can sure outrun the police Crown Vics and Ford Explorers. But not a police helicopter and certainly not a radio. Noone's gonna try to chase you down at 150+ mph. They just gonna track you in a chopper (multiple choppers if needed) - and wait till you slow down, get stuck in traffic or simply run out of gas (which happens quicker than you might think if you're doing 150+ mph btw).

Compensated by the fact that there are much less population density, and even less car density there. Noone gives a damn about emissions. But here in Cali, if every car was puffin' smoke like an average Russian car - it would become a barely inhabitable wasteland very fast :-D A shame the Skylines aren't available tho. I was in fact looking for one - saw only the 2011+ models for over 50k. Oh well. Probably too much for me now anyway. By the time I level up enough to drive a GTR maybe I'll save enough to get one of them.

Diesel may be a hell of a lot better than a gasoline engine would ever be (PS: the only good cummins is one in a Peterbilt (EXTREME DODGE BIAS)).

    The car is not "illegal". When has a cop ever stopped you to ask for your legality certificate for your car? As the gentleman explained, some cars are just not shipped to certain markets for various reasons. I live in Saudi Arabia. You can find top-tier super-cars here for sale, but something as low-end as the new Renault Clio RS220 is not brought into the Saudi market simply because there is no demand for the car here. Furthermore, for vehicles to work properly here and in most Gulf countries, they have to be modified with up to 50% larger cooling systems, uprated interiors, and more rugged external equipment such as sensors, and better intake and filtration systems to deal with the heat, the sand and dust. Most European market cars are designed to be operated in an ambient temperature range between -20C and +40C. Here, the temperatures in the summer can easily go past 55C, which can cause equipment failures and possible expensive recalls or lawsuits for manufacturers. For other countries like the US, the emissions requirements are very strict and many vehicles never make it to the market because they cannot pass the emissions tests. It has absolutely fuckall to do with the performance, price, or power output of the car. You can buy cars much much faster than the R34 in the US... including the successor, the R35. That guy's post was just about the most mind-numbing stupidity I've come across on the internet today.

One can simply conclude that the car is illegal because it was not known. There's no reason whatsoever for why the car is illegal in USA in the same way Michael Shumacher is illegal in some USA states. That only demonstrates how incredible stupid some people in USA really are. Probably doesn't take long to some crazy retarded leader ban carbon dioxide from an entire state.

    Wasn't it rather, because they knew, if they let the Skyline R34 in the US, enthusiasts would really quickly modify it and make it ridiculously fast... 2fast. ;)

    The US claims against the Nissan rocket is HORSESHIT!!! As the reasoning is, it's okay to import Audi's, BMW's, Porsche, Lambo's, Ferrari's, Bugatti's etc, but not a car that whip's your ASSES and your American made Vette can't compete!! Remember gentlemen, we are CAPITALIST!!! We produce item to disintegrate or break in the required interval so we gotta buy more!!! When the Japanese made autos that seem to last twice as long or longer, we all jumped and bought their MFG. Only recently they(the American car industry) began making half decent autos. I am a true American, a veteran, obey laws, pay taxes but when I pay my hard earned money, I expect an excellent return on my purchase or investment. You reap what you sow!!!!!
