You are right....odd....but encouraging.

I am the high bidder

it might just be...

I saw one street legal Skyline from Motorex and inside the engine bay are metal plates from EPA and DOT basically saying that the car was converted and met specifications. I emailed the seller and asked him why there were no pictures of these very important items on the auction listing. I am awaiting an answer. The reserve is $55,000.00
I just don't trust ebay, If the Skyline conversions keep being a reality. I think I would just buy a GTR and personally get it converted by Motorex(if I choose to) and spend ALOT less money, because when a third party sells it(or second party) They always have to add their "cut" of profits to the sale price of the car.

This car is a legit car . Spoke with RB about the car and they know the owner of it. I was offered the chance to purchase it since I was looking for a R33.

i as well have seen this car in person and it is clean. trust me. like john, i had the chance to purchase it...and he even lowered the price to 45000 for me, but a job fell through and i couldnt afford it.

[nitrous36]

So you could have bought it? Would you? Just curious, I wanted to ask this awhile but would you rather import the car now and legalize it destroying its originallity or wait 25 years and import the car from another country like the U.K. (youll probably have to, its unlikely to find a car 25 years old in Japan most would have been exported by then) where the car has probably been tampered with and modified to comply with laws anyways?

[nismo_power]

i wouldve bought it if the job i was basically promised didnt fall through. i mean, i was offered it for the same price as getting one through mrex.

[celm]

they just got a 97 GTR which was titled as a 95 so they dont have to deal with EPA`s OBD2 issue

[nismo_power]

no......the car was legalized BEFORE mrex's issues. they had the 95 for two years now....1 year BEFORE mrex couldnt legalize cars 96+.

and even then.....they cant label a car and just get away with it. the VIN (jpn vin) labels the YEAR....the government isnt that dumb.

[celm]

no its titled as a 95 cause the owner of VIP imports even wrote it at freash alloys forum that it was titled as a 95.

isnt the reason why motorex has been in trouble was by doing short cuts??this isnt the first time MX put different years on cars so they wouldnt have to deal w/obd2 issues.and if u check ebay,VIPimports has a 96 skyline on there,and they even said on there its a 96 titled as a 95 todo so it can be legalized

[nismo_power]

mrex had problems with the government because of financial situations, not doing "short cuts" first...it was problems with OBDII arose, meaning all lines with an OBDII system were on hold until the government released them again. the new trouble is them not doing work fast enough. they have over 40 class action lawsuits against them from private parties. theyve released 2 cars in the past year, and customers are getting angry. even sean is starting to think that hiro is going to leave the country, hes already disposed of the hundreds of thousands of dollars he had from customers.
