I was wondering if the s15 is street legal in U.S or what should be done to make it legal? or is it best to go with a s13?

 

A rediculous load of mods and cash can make it legal, much more than anyone would want to go through. Would cost a fortune and would be much cheaper for the s15 swap.
I guess you could get it imported for tracks and such as a showcar or racecar..... not street legal ofc

 

Neither of you guys know anything about what you are talking about so please dont try it. Iif you know how to do it and who to go through it is very reasonable if you dont sucks for you. Sorry but people who actually know how to do it arent gonna just share it with you.

 

Can you legalize an S15? Technically yes......gray market of course.

 

1. You can sneak a car in and register it as an S14. This is only somewhat illegal, but will get it on the road in FL. It's just as legal as all of these illegal, non-motorex Skylines running around. Technically the car will be impounded and crushed if caught by DOT/Homeland. It's a rare occurance, but definitely happens. There are *ahem* importers around here, Orlando, Miami that will do this and get you a title/registration. This is the cheap way.

2. Buy a Kaizo recertified, rebranded unibody/roller. This is 100% Fed and State legal. Your title will say Kaizo S15 Silvia. It's quite pricey and it does not come with a motor or trans.

 

Actually no. Grey market cars are legal, but the S15 does not qualify to be brought in as a grey market car. Do not confuse "grey market" with "my aunt works for the DMV".

 

whats a grey market car?

 

Not worth it.

 

A grey market car is any that come into the US through (NHTSA and EPA approved) channels other than directly from the Manufacturer. The Motorex Skylines are grey market. So are all of the Land Rover Defenders. Neither was sold in the US, but the governing bodies OK'd them for import. There's an approved list out there somewhere, plus anything older than 25 years (I think).

 

Wrong. There are a few ways of importing and legallizing them 100% legally, through loop holes in the system, I have several friends that import and legalize cars hense my last RHD car...




there seems to be a post about this crap like every week and what the people dont understand is the people that do know how to do it legally arent gonna just tell you how, because in order to do it legally it takes literally hundreds of hours of research so why would you just go tell everyone else how to do it after all that work? It just makes your car common when everyone else starts doing the same thing.

On a side note before you start arguing with me I was pulled over by DOT and the officer checked everything out and said I was good to go. My title did not say kit car or anything of the sort it said what is actually was, the correct year, and the correct curb weight.

To the origional OP if you really want a S15 PM me and if you in fact have the cash in hand no BS my buddy used to import alot of S15's and probably knows of one for sale around here. Once again another thing people dont realize is the incredibly baller shit owned by people that can actually afford it is never really posted for sale even if it is for sale, its done through word of mouth. Two of my friends flew here from Texas, one bought my old Cedric and the other wanted a R32 GTR.. the same day I had him this
