Searched around but didn't find an answer to this... I have a '94 R32 GT-R that is legally registered in BC, Canada. I was wondering if I would be able to drive it WA, USA? I heard you can't bring in these cars because USA won't allow it. Does anyone know more about this? If I could bring it into WA, USA, how long can it stay in WA, USA before it has to go back to BC, Canada?

to drive a Canadian car in the US, you have to either be a Canadian Citizen or have Dual-Citizenship. either way ur gonna get shit by the cops. Phil got pulled over in Florida with canadian plates on the Position 1 shop car and the cop argues with him about it. Phil has dual-citizenship and is a lawyer (Speedlawyers.net)

offtopic but possibly related. i see cars with mexico plates around here all the time, many of which are vehicles that were never sold in the u.s.
the r33.4 that was at all star bash this year had mex plates.

last time i was in texas i saw an xtrail. a few months ago i saw some chevy sport ute that looked like the front was a small minivan cab, but with a truck bed attached.

it is do-able, but i would check with the dmv for whatever states you plan on entering.

No, the answer is no.
You will not be able to legalize a Skyline easily in the states.
A search would have answered this, but it seems that this question is asked about a million times monthly in spite of.
