Are Skylines illegal in the US?
Can you legally buy a Nissan Skyline in the United States? I heard that they’re illegal here and I don’t understand why that would be!
Liz Jenson · Updated on

Yes,
Nissan
Skylines are illegal in the US due to their inadequate safety features. The Skyline does not meet the requirements listed in the 1988 Imported Vehicle Safety Compliance Act—therefore, it’s illegal to import or drive.Since Nissan hasn’t made any efforts to make the Skyline compliant with US safety regulations, the car is not available in the States. If you want to drive a Skyline, you’ll need to visit Nissan’s home country, Japan.
While you’re learning about the Skyline, why not learn how to save on your car insurance? The
