No, because they are not up to american standards for highway safety, or emissions programs. What you said is a complete threat to the free enerprise system known as democracy, so unless we are becoming communist, that is not the reason that we dont import skylines

Skylines dont have full frames like our 40 year old cars, and the cars have to be brought up to date, but those laws arent enforced. And they dont meet emissions standards. The world didnt know what emissions was 40 years ago. Kylines are considered Gross polluters in by American standards, and it has been an american safety standard for almost 40 years that we have safety glass, and 5 mph bumpers. They jdm airbags arent even upto american spec for an airbag to be considered safe.

Yes they are but I am sure most people looking to buy a used 90's sporty car would consider a skyline, supra, evo, sti, etc. instead of a mustang or a camaro.
That is what I meant.

Of course.

You know what I mean though too. For the price of a used/old federalized Skyline in the US...you could have a new STi, Evo, Elise, etc which will kick the crap out of the Skyline.

Skylines are awesome cars, I want one, but I also realize that the biggest reason they're so popular is because we don't have them here. If the Skyline had been imported, it would be regarded as a great car, but not the end all be all that so many think it is.

[jdmlude2000]

the nissan skyline is one of the "greatest" cars ever made. yes it may be overrated in the united states. The thing is that needs to be over looked. you can look at every other car made and there maybe cars that are a lot like the skyline...but the skyline is like the mustang and the camaro and the corvette and all the american muscle cars of the states.

The Nissan Skyline is like the Japanese Muscle Car

Ok, here in the US we have this thing called a government (found in every country as well.) In our government, we follow the guidlines called DEMOCRACY (it can also be considered CAPITALISM), part of democracy is the FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM. This wonderful, mystical thing called the FREEE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM protects us from such events as not being allowed to open a COMPANY because of COMPETITION from another COMPANY. Ok, i hope that sums it up. If you need to, im sure you can goto www.dictionary.com and look up those uppercase words (the words that are bigger then the rest.) Ok, if you dont get this, PM me or post again. and for aditional reading goto http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/c1/capitali.asp

Price, it is much cheaper. Down the road you can always drop in a 2.5. But it really doesnt matter cause it will still haul ass. And turbo upgrades are still available for the GTS, its not like the 2.5 and 2.6's were the only turbo skylines.

I like my RB20DET better than my friend's RB25DET. His has more mid range torque, buy mine is a lot happier to rev and more fun to run the crap out of!
