I check into Motorex and I dont want to deal with them. I read a document on a DOT website and they gave a list of legall importer's but I dont know if they import Skyline's or not. I new to this forum so bare with me, just wondering if anybody had any useful & help info.

any registered importer can bring the car in. BUT, motorex was the only company that could make the cars street legal. they were the only ones approved by the DOT and NHSTA to make the correct modifications to the car to make it street worthy here in the united states. now that motorex is no longer legalizing skylines, it is impossible to bring in a street legal skyline unless it is at least 25 years old.
the list that you are reffering to is the list of registered importers. they can bring any car into the united states, but if the car does not meet US crash safety and emissions standards, it must be conformed under an importer that is registered to do so. as i stated above, motorex was the only RI approved to perform modifications to the skyline to make it us street legal. to put it into simple terms:
YOU CURRENTLY CANNOT BRING IN A SKYLINE TO THE US THAT IS 24 YEARS OLD OR NEWER.
