How does one not know about skylines?

Take anything and everything off of them. Really saddens me to hear they are getting crushed. I honestly don't understand the reasoning behind it.

You u need to start at the beginning to respect a skyline :/

Why the hell would you crush a skyline? Specially when they're right hand drive. Those are amazing machines and respected everywhere. Shame on you!!

Exactly! Im confused too. Not that I have any interest in acquiring one but still cool cars. Why crush the engines too?

Well rb's aren't Cali smog legal. LOL. I doubt that's the reason. Probably street racing, but when have u ever seen 3 rhd skylines dragging in SoCal. Seems like a fairytale.

I have caught a r35 & LFA drag one late night drive home. So maybe not to crazy an idea

Neither is my M20 tho! Lol
Two weeks ago I went to a datsun swatmeet in eaglerock, two skylines ended showing up a C10 and C110 with RB26 swaps. I jizzed myself when they left! I wonder if their cars passed smog..?

Basically,
-R32/R33/R34 skylines are illegal to be driven in America
-There is an exception for the late model R33's but you need to convert it to OBDII and have the plate in the doors modiffied by an approved shop. This is because the R33 is the only one that was crash tested and approved for U.S. roads after such modifications.

This is assuming the car was imported legally in the first place (meaning it would have to be straight off the boat as most of the ones floating around weren't)

Back when they were all the rage being imported left and right, the main company got overwhelmed with all the demand and shut down. After delivering cars to many owners without performing the required mods, the business shut down and the government got sick of the whole fiasco; pretty much said if yo see one crush it.

There are very few legal ones here in the U.S. and making one like the one's in Archies tow yard legal would be impossible, since they technically never finished the importing process and are therefore considered "contraband"

This is what I gathered from reading *this article yesterday anyway...

Unfortunately, that means that if a Skyline does not carry a “Bond Release” from the NHTSA and applicable EPA forms then it’s not legal.
