The USA safety regulations cannot allow importation of the Nissan Skyline GT-R because it has no certification for sale. The reasons are that it is a right side driven car and also fails the Department of Transportation emission control test. Nissan cannot import the Nissan skyline R34 because it’s spares are not available in America. They are also very expensive hence few importers can sell the car. Some of the reasons why the Nissan Skyline is illegal, it’s power. Photo credit: Flickr

It has a powerful engine of about 280BHP to 500 BHP, but can also achieve an engine power of up to 1000 BHP. It is also banned because most police cars cannot reach an engine power as the Nissan Skyline R34. Most police cars are rear wheel drives yet the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R is a four wheel drive. That means that the car can achieve up to more than 200 miles per hour on the highway. The Nissan Skyline R34 needs to meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards requirements and these R34s do not.
