Re: since motorex is closed

u could drive it into the usa, but u still have to meet all the emmisions of the country, nomatter wat state law says. i'm in NJ, i don't know of any here. i called down to trenton where our big state dmv is, and they said that to bring a rhd car into jersey from another country, it has to be made left hand drive, no matter wat. another thing about just driving the car in, the government will stop u at the border, and not allow it across without paperwork showing it being usa leagle already. i don't know how to make it leagle, what it needs, i know that because motorex already did the crash tests, i assume it didn't need anything for safty, but epa, i know i doesn't come near. if you know of someone with a skyline, ask them to see the paperwork, or just ask them how they got it here. there are two loopholes, #1 coming home from serving in the military, and having bought one in japan. the government will make sure it gets thru. the second, from wat i understand is the more expensive, but still cheaper than motorex was, it involves a lot tho. have a company in japan take the car apart, seperate the engine and trans, and make the body and chassis just a shell, then import it. then reasmble it as a kit car. if you've ever heard of the car company nobel(advertised in the back of most auto mags) that's how they import their cars.
