One bloke was asking on there whom is from the US and is going to talk to 2 R34 owners in his US town.
So go have a look its free so worth it.

If you are reffering to the r32/r33/r34 skyline then not really.
There was a company called motorex that imported a bunch of skylines, converted them to left hand drive and got the legal on US roads.
But the owner was involved in some shady business, he eventually got shut down by the government and the remaining cars confiscated and destroyed.
He did sell a few before this happened though, so there are some on US roads now. Few and far between. I've seen one for sale recently, with tons of upgrades, selling for 150k in the Dupont Registry.
You can always import one, just be ready to shell out tons of dough to get it street legal.

the skyline R32 is the only skyline that passes the emmission tests in the US. they consider the Infiniti G35 is considered a skyline to some people but not to me. the Nissan GTR which come out in 2008 i think is gonna be also in america

No, there not legal in the u.s...YET.
The reason it's not legal because they do not pass the minimal requirements of the saftey test.
But don't worry, the Skyline willbecome legal because they are making a US version.
You can always import one, but your going to leave a large gap in your wallet if you want it to be street legal. Or drive it...just dont let the popo (police) see. ;D

a VQ-powered Skyline will be sold in the US under the Infinity brand.
RB-powered GT-Rs never reached the local dealerships in the US. Japan had no plans selling it there
