You dont... you cannot currently legally import any skyline into the states (even Motorex cant do it anymore, as they were dodging paperwork). The only way you can get it in semi legally is to import it, hope you can get it off the docks without a bond release, and register it at your local DMV if youre in a gullible state (Nevada and Arizona ring a few bells here). Even if they do register it, the car is in violation of federal anti-smog laws and you risk it being confiscated.

Check out the USA forums on Skylines Down Under, some of them there have legal skylines from way back when Motorex was legalising them, and theres even a guy there tyndago who did most of the work for Motorex on getting the cars legal. They will all tell you the same as above, it cant be done :/ Sux but thats the way it is...

EDIT: I do also believe you can import it for race use only for 12 months, after which time it needs to be destroyed or exported again. It cannot be driven on the streets if brought in for race use.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all   
    • LandCruiser used to get a fluid flush every 12 to 18 months.   Only because it was about that often the electric motor on the master for brake assist kept dieing and needing to come off.
