dosquattro Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Well atleast from Motorex. He has quite a list up on him. 1 million dollar bail. Quick sell everything he had in his building and get out of the country ASAP! lol. Appearently he still had some Skylines at his shop. Well serves him right for selling skylines for more then I could afford. Not to self.. do not monopolize selling Skylines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dosquattro Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Oops sorry! I forgot to post the link! lol http://nicoclub.com/news.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcdrifter13 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Ah so this is why non of yoshis(of J-garage) skylines are being converted. I talk to him quite often about the subject of importing, and he always said that what motorex is pricing there cars at is just way way to much. Hopefully now things will change. BTW I am not one of these GTR horndogs. Just a guiy that has respect for a good car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNeedForZ Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Why do the government stopped authorizing R32 and R34 import into the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 that whole monopoly thing was pretty BS... would be a lot more Skylines running around in this country probably if not for the greed of one person. I was wondering though why things had suddenly gone quiet with Motorex, all their advertising had vanished and such... Now we know. sucks that the older ones are no longer eligible for federalization... I still think the R32's were the best of them and did daydream of buying one one day.

pimp1911 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Why do the government stopped authorizing R32 and R34 import into the US? Motorex crashed tested R33's but didnt crash test R34's or R32's. And there is a issue on OBD2 and airbags. ALL in all the government got pimpd and now we are all suffering for it. Hopefully another registered importer will step up to the plate.

fcdrifter13 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 There may be at least 5 stepping up to the plate, from what I have heard. J-garage may take a swing at it. But seeing how motorex only crash tested the r33 they will be hard pressed to seel. Every car that is imported must be crash test(at least 3 times) so that means 3 cars just for the crash, then 2 other cars have to go through emissions testing. And then a full report must be issued stating all of the results, and also stating what and why the car is being imported for. If it is for street use then they must go through even more emissions and the usual emsion equipent must be equiped. Also bumper supports, door supports, nd other things must be equipped to each car depending on the crash testing. now if it was just for race use, the process becomes a lil less complicated. The cars are only alowed on the track, and from what I understand, only allowed inside the country for a set amount of time. If I understood corectly, if the car is sold off then it is alowed to stay in the country for some reason. The list of things go on and on, but to many people they dont really care they just want the car, just to say yeah Ive got that. But the way motorex had priced there cars they were making a 200% profit off of every one they sold. Seeing how most Japanese cars have to go through a big test every three years I believe most owners just sell of the car and buy a newer one. So all the GTRs they are picking up are only like 20k USD, and seeing how the R34 was selling for like 90k you do the math. I forsee prices really being cut almost in half now because there is no monopoly. This will open up the market and we will be seeing more and more of them, and I am afraid alot more of them wrecked because some snot nosed teenager will have his mommy and daddy buy it for him. Oh dear lets just hope it dosnt end up like the AE86 thing, 10k for a stocker is just rediculous. Damn Initial D tax, drives me crazy.

AK-Z Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 yeah price inflation that they were charging was riditulous. I know some people in canada and they were saying that the r32 cost something like $7,000 CND used, but the problem to owning one were the insurence premiums. I've been told, as far as immissions go in alaska, that you are legally allowed to drive one if you have a "summer use only" pass on the car. This would mean that you wouldn't need to go through immission and just need a dyno run (for some reason) and that yuo would only be able to drive it from april 15 through september 15 (what a shame, AWD and can't drive in the winter).

fcdrifter13 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I would be pretty sure that the dyno run was for emissions. I would also like to comliment your cars in your sig. I owned a GTS a while back, and a 240z. Trying to get both of them back now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for the dyno the person I discussed about importing was an IM ref and said that it would be for recording HP but I don't see why they would need such info, except for insurence stuff.
