All your Skyline are belong to LA County Jail
#1
Probably old news to you but Ive been gone for awhile from civilization so...
The only Skyline that Nanahoshi Hiroaki appears likely to see for a while is the one through the window of his Los Angeles County jail cell. The owner of Motorex, America's only importer of the Nissan Skyline GT-R, is reportedly being held on $1 million dollars bail on a litany of charges ranging from financial malfeasance issues to assault with a deadly weapon and attempted kidnapping.
The future of R32-R34 Skylines in the U.S. beyond those already imported remains to be seen, but according to the Nissan/Infiniti Car Owners Club (NICO), Motorex's facilities have been forcibly closed due to their failure to pay rent.

what makes them so difficult is that they need to be sent through a DOT inspection that is very difficult. They also need to be pass smog in cali..along with other things..To be registered legal like they require a Us vin code which the dot will give the car once it passes.

I dont see how they are so hard to get in the states, from what I hear anything over 15 years old is fair game in Canuckia.
unfortunately the us isnt like that, its gotta be older than like 67 or something retarded

From what I have heard, all of the R32 and R34s Motorex imported are illegal but the R33s aren't, but I can't find the article or thread I read that in.
i know someone who bought an r32 from motorex, it had 2 huge cats welded on, a new vin plate. everything else was jdm, even the tires
