So far there is a lot of guessing and some myths as to why the Nissan GT-R Skyline is illegal in the United States. Don’t get us wrong, we all wish we could import the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-Rs as easily as Canada or Australia. However, there are few not very clear reasons why the Skyline GTR has a difficulty for so long to visit the American shores.

Everybody knows that the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R is illegal in the US streets and it’s not because the car produces so much horsepower that the cops in the U.S. would not be able to keep up with it. If this was the real reason then the Chevy Corvette Z06, the much faster and more powerful Nissan GTR R35 and many other American cars would be outlawed as well. But what is the real reason? We are certain that many of you now are wondering what the real reason is for this amazing Japanese masterpiece to be illegal for use on the streets in the US. To enrich your knowledge we present you this video published on YouTube a year ago, and inside it contains that “real reason”. Everything that you need to know is in it.

The United States have some strict rules about the regulations that cars have to abide by in order to be sold in the U.S., and the Nissan Skyline just does not fit the bill. Of course anyone can purchase and drive one of these Godzillas on the streets in the States but they would have to have a full load of cash to buy it and convert the car into American use.
