so basically anything that is not 25 years old is illegal? Unless its on the show and display list which is basically cars that super super super expensive and made less 500 of. I know bill gates had something to do with that getting that passed. Or there is the race car thing, which you have to have the original manufacturer say that it was a car built for racing only. So any s15 silvia, r33, r34 is pretty much illegal.

Anything that isn't 25 years old is illegal to import on a permanent basis unless it is on the show and display list (still doesn't solve EPA)

To import a car for racing purposes permanently the car has to have been originally manufactured as a race car. That leaves out anything you can use on the road.

Any S14 or S15 is illegal. Any R33 or R34 that doesn't have a bond release (i.e. not a Motorex car) is illegal.

You might still be able to convince a state such as Florida to register it, but that doesn't make it federally legal. At all. And you would still be committing a felony by filing a false customs declaration to get it into the country. If you titled it as a 240sx, you would also be committing another one when you swapped the VIN.

Thank you guys for the responses. Judging by the majority of the replies, I think I am on the same page as most of you. Some of you prefer this brand or piece over another. Which I understand. But as a big picture, I think I got it. Thanks again.

Matvie27, thanks for clearing a lot of stuff up. Basically any US citizen just has to wait the 25 year period. Luckily I am not one of those people that "has" to have something now lol. I guess some people would rather take the risk. Doesn't seem worth it to me. I mean I loves cars, but I don't need jail time just to feel cool 5 or 10 years before another guy lol.
