Dont Get Screwed by Omega Skylines Lies
I get a call today from a guy with a 1994 R33 GTS that is in Canada.
Canadian customs will not release the vehicle - as the Skylines are not legal in Canada. The only thing they will allow him to do is send the vehicle onto another destination. He was asking about 6-12 months to import the vehicle , etc. More lies and mis-information from the Omega Skylines site... Welcome to the world of - dont pay any attention to what I have being saying and reciting for years. This guy has a car in Canada , that he can not do anything with. His choices are to import it into the US and pay MotoRex $16,000 to legalize it , or export it back to Japan. I am pretty sure that this guy was just trying to get around the rules - read the false information and now is screwed.... Think about this when you go and advise people on importation information. A good place to start is the DOT website at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov. (202)366-5291 Office of Safety and Compliance. Talk to them before you buy any cars off idiots on the internet... |

I recently had a chat with a guy who works there at Omega, and oddly enough is heading over to RBMotoring.
Omega is working on getting Skylines legalized but at this time they are NOT doing it. I will keep you guys posted on what else I dig up.

Omega from the SDU boards wants to work for Sean?
 Oh, thats just rich! The guy brags about promoting a company that trades in illegal activities and then wants to get a job for the man that made all the Skylines in the USA happen.

I don't know about illegal activities, and saying such is liablis since it is a registered company. While aggrivation may play a part in wanting to say something of such it really would be best to back something up like that with factual data.
As I've mentioned before. I am in the same boat or simular boat as the lot of you who currently reside in the states. I own a 92 GTR and I'm an amercian citizen living in a different country. I've pondered moving back and hell yes I want my car to come with me that is not an option but a demand. So for me it would cost me double what I paid originally for the car to do so and legally drive it on the streets.

Just look at the locked thread at SDU where Omega bragged about how the company he worked for was advising a client about how to get the car through Canada and avoid US laws. Its not libel because its true. Omega admits such at SDU and any company that assists in a criminal act is an accessory.
I called his ass out as working at and promoting a company that engages in illegal activities (fraud would be at the top of the list IMO) at SDU and if he wants to come here with his bullshit, I'll tell him the same thing here. |
