Nissan Skyline 25GT-T R34 ER34
Secondary source Rolling: early cars eligible
End of ER34 production not yet sourced, so late cars may not be eligible yet. Read the build plate.
NHTSA: the 25-year period "runs from the date of the vehicle's manufacture" (49 U.S.C. 30112(b)(9); 49 CFR 591.5(i)). Most plates show month/year only; we treat a build month as fully clear from the last day of that month 25 years later. Go by the build plate.
FAQ
When can I import a Nissan Skyline 25GT-T R34 (ER34) to the US?
Under NHTSA's 25-year exemption (49 U.S.C. 30112(b)(9)), eligibility runs from the vehicle's date of manufacture. For this model, production started May 1998, so the earliest cars become eligible in May 2023. The end of production is not verified on this page. Always check the build plate on the specific car.
Is the ER34 eligible under the 25-year rule right now?
Status as of 2026-10-19: Rolling: early cars eligible. The 25-year period runs from the manufacture date, not the model year. A car built late in the production run may still be waiting.
Does EPA also apply to a ER34 import?
Yes. EPA's Form 3520-1 Code E covers vehicles at least 21 years old (calendar year of manufacture subtracted from year of importation) in original unmodified configuration. DOT and EPA are separate tests; you need both.
How much does it cost to import a Nissan Skyline 25GT-T R34?
Costs vary by auction price, shipping and duty. Use our ER34 landed-cost calculator for an editable estimate. Typical overhead beyond the car is often a few thousand dollars (see our import-cost guide).
