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.

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.

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.

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.
