I did do a search and didn't see anything in the topic. anyway, Im curious, How to make a car street legal from Japan? I know that Emissions is the biggest thing hindering it from being street legal.
so what I'd like to know, and I'm sure there are others as well, is: 1. Is it legal to drive a RHD car on public roads in the US? 2. what Emission work needs to be done, and whats the possible cost on it. 3. what else would need to be done to make it legal? Thanks for your input guys, Soul |

skylines have been legalized after MotoRex completed the necessary requirements for the elegibility of importing skylines in the US.
mail trucks are legal because they are government service vehicles. QUOTE As a general rule, a motor vehicle less than 25 years old must comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) to be imported on a permanent basis. ^http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/graymarket_RI_list12262007.pdf -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
