so basically anything that is not 25 years old is illegal? Unless its on the show and display list which is basically cars that super super super expensive and made less 500 of. I know bill gates had something to do with that getting that passed. Or there is the race car thing, which you have to have the original manufacturer say that it was a car built for racing only. So any s15 silvia, r33, r34 is pretty much illegal.

Anything that isn't 25 years old is illegal to import on a permanent basis unless it is on the show and display list (still doesn't solve EPA)

To import a car for racing purposes permanently the car has to have been originally manufactured as a race car. That leaves out anything you can use on the road.

Any S14 or S15 is illegal. Any R33 or R34 that doesn't have a bond release (i.e. not a Motorex car) is illegal.

You might still be able to convince a state such as Florida to register it, but that doesn't make it federally legal. At all. And you would still be committing a felony by filing a false customs declaration to get it into the country. If you titled it as a 240sx, you would also be committing another one when you swapped the VIN.

Thank you guys for the responses. Judging by the majority of the replies, I think I am on the same page as most of you. Some of you prefer this brand or piece over another. Which I understand. But as a big picture, I think I got it. Thanks again.

Matvie27, thanks for clearing a lot of stuff up. Basically any US citizen just has to wait the 25 year period. Luckily I am not one of those people that "has" to have something now lol. I guess some people would rather take the risk. Doesn't seem worth it to me. I mean I loves cars, but I don't need jail time just to feel cool 5 or 10 years before another guy lol.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
