I think your stuck on the crash testing. The initial expense, I am not referring to that at all.

Those costs you are referring to are included with their "legalization" costs that they charge you for the vehicle. After the car is legalized...be it GT-R or GTS-T, MotoRex files paperwork to obtain new title stating that the car has been legalized...then the title is granted. They have to file all of the customs paperwork associated as well (costs me $95 an entry)...

Anyone can get a title for any car....there are several agencies in the US that will do it. This, however, can be an illegal route to go...just as GREEN SLIPS are an illegal way to go as well. As I said before, there are tons of way to get through the system if you know what you're doing...maybe they don't work in Cali...but I sure as hell don't live there and for many reasons (mainly cars and taxes)...

So your saying you have leagized a GTR, outside of MotoRex?

[NightXCZ77]

No, I personally do not legalize Skylines. I know that you can REGISTER these vehicles outside of MotoRex, you just have to know which rules are which and how to do it legally. If you have registration and title, no matter how the car was brought into the country, you are deemed legal for road use. One company claims that they can legalize Skylines - FuelImports in Florida...however, I have not checked to see if they are truly legit or not. There are tons of JDM Integras, Civics, Supras etc... that people don't know about that are brought into this country and registered...people get new VINS or sublets for the JDM Vins and that's it...

So where's the legalization process in all of this? At least to me, it sounds like any vehicle that hasn't been legalized isn't legal, whether it's been registered or not.

If you have registration and title, no matter how the car was brought into the country, you are deemed legal for road use.

This sounds like just skipping the legalization process and registering/titling the car, as if the car was okay, which, according to DOT standards, it is not.

I don't know much, but I figured the order went like this: Purchase(in Japan), Importation(including bonding, etc), Legalization, and Registration/Titling, then the car would be legal. Maybe you can clarify it for me.

Just because people do it does not make it legal. An illegal car is an illegal car.

An illegal car is no different than illegal drugs. Just because you can get them , or have them , or sell them does not make it any less "illegal". If you get caught with them , then you face the charges.

Sean - take a look at the other thread....or anyone else for that matter...this little quote has been responded to.

[tyndago]

Heres a good line for you all ---

" you probably think Monopoly is a game you play"....

[spoolinteg]

Does "Fuel Imports" have a phone number or a Web sight?

[flylwsi]

are you blind?
the last post in this thread is over 3 months old.

it's been proven that the company in question doesn't do what they say.

[spoolinteg]

Stop beaing a DICK in every post you reply to.

[G35C6MT]

Motorex is the only company that has gone through the certification process. This means making sure that it has the safety and emissions equipement required to meet US specs the year it was manufacturing. This includes a significant amount of emissions testing to the EPA(you pay sustantually to do each test) and craching a car in the safety test. The bottom line is while there are several people who could ship cars over, only one was willing on paying the costs of getting it certified. This is why their cars are so expensive. They have to add the correct parts when they bring them over and they have to make some on top to absorb some of the certification costs.
