Don't flame someone like that. atleast be respectful.

anyway..just search..i'm sure you'll find it..but i doubt you're gonna be able to afford it unless you're rich.

It aint happening. Motorex is the only way to drive a Skyline legally in the US. UNLESS>>> You have a business that can register it in their name. It can be registered with a limited registration. This enables the business to drive it a limited number of miles for show or business purposes. Corporate sponsorship is the ONLY way to do it without Motorex.

That is not true, we have some coming to the US. It really takes alot of work to make them legal. Not just anybody could do it, it takes a well established shop and a very good tech to do it. Its a hell of alot more work than you think.

amen to that...Motorex has contracts with California and US Government to import and sell Nissan Skylines. they have these contracts because: 1- they've crash tested them to proove these cars are safe for United States standards. 2- they "detune" them to pass smog in all 50 states.

actually they got a big fine and are not importing them right now,(heresay, pretty reliable source though) and yes they did do all that and the signed a NDA with the gov. so they cant tell anyone else how to do it either. But we are working on it. Very close

there are other companies located in other states that can legalize them..however getting it "legal" in california is another story...

THAT is NOT correct. No one but Motorex can get it done. Some others will take your money and then go through Motorex for you but they can't do it alone.
