Skyline Importing - I've done it

[NightXCZ77]

I've read through about 4 or 5 posts now about importing Skylines and RazorGTR coming to close all of them or tell people off (no offense to you).

Importing a Skyline is not hard if you know what you are doing and have the mind to do it like I do. I have imported about 5 Skylines thus far into the US, however, not legal for street use. We do it in a completely legal manner so that in a year from now you don't have to send it back to Japan. Despite what many think, Skylines pass emissions...they do have catalytic converters on them stock (atleast the ones I import do). I just delivered a Beautiful R33 GTS-T to a customer in El Paso, TX.

He is currently driving his new Skyline on the streets of America fully insured. He will be going through the registration process for the vehicle within the next few weeks and we expect to see him pass and get title with no problems at all.

MOTOREX is not the only company who can bring these things in...and no, MotoRex did not do any crash testing, or any other BS stuff that they will tell you. A company by the name of JK Motors did everything for them, then MotoRex paid the bill and thus they have the information. People like myself and a partner of mine have all of that information (majority can be found on the web)...and the DOT has accepted new applications for importing and legalizing Skylines since they were threatened with aiding a Monopoly...soon you will see several RI's popping up with legalization privelages for Skylines...I know two personally right now that are about 30 days away....

Anyhow, just thought I would let you guys know that it is possible to import them, although you military guys can't just send it over cause you're privelaged or whatever...it doesn't work that way. Anything unloaded in customs gets sent to a RI as a whole car...unless you know how to get around it.

No one ever said Motorex was the only company that could import Skylines. No one that was properly informed, anyway. Motorex is the only company thus far that can legalize them.

He is currently driving his new Skyline on the streets of America fully insured. He will be going through the registration process for the vehicle within the next few weeks and we expect to see him pass and get title with no problems at all.

Where is the legalization process in all of this? Can this car in El Paso be registered if it hasn't been legalized? There is much more to the car being legal than just emissions. You'll find quite a few things that need to be done in the information that has been found on the Internet. Insuring the cars isn't too hard. There are several options for that.

If more RIs step up to the plate and get DOT approval to import and legalize Skylines, then fine. It's just that no one else has completed the process yet, including RB Motoring.

No offense taken.

Simply put I would like to see others (RI's) or whomever be able to legalize these cars there, BUT until there is proof I have to stick with what is known.
Not what is just said on a forums. There have been tosser after tosser after tosser who claims this and that. yet people continually get stuck and wind up in the shit because of it.
i find it very hard to believe someone has actually legalized it without MotoRex. As I know of currently they are the only ones. RBMotoring are working on the paperwork to be able to do it. Once finalized they will be added to the list.

You send me PROOF, in the next 3 days and all is cool, if not this thread goes and so do you. Simply put and don't take it personal, I've had a guts full of hollow promisses, and people claiming this and that. They either put up or, well they're banned. I will not tolerate nor will I accept anyone giving false information as such.

As I've said "I REALLY WANT OTHERS TO BE ABLE TO DO IT". If and when I do decide to come back to the states I want to bring my GTR with me full stop. I will in the mean time compile viable information until such time weeding out the shit and bullshitters as I go.

You can call me hard, an asshole, hell a dirty son of a bitch. I honestly don't care, but everyone knows I am fair and EVERYONE is on a level playing field. They play by the rules or they can play somewhere else.

[RazorGTR]

For the rest of the forums users. Unless you have something important to add you DAMN WELL BETTER not. i don't want this thread turning into a shit slinging or post whoring one! Be forwarned! I've said what needs to be said but I am sure someone like Sami, Sean Morris etc can shed a bit more light. I've made this a sticky in the mean time.

The only company that I have heard of that brings in Skylines and legalizes them other than MotoRex is Fuel Imports out of Florida. I have not checked their credentials to see if they are legit or not, but they swear up and down to have legalized over 60 Skylines this year and that they will be on the revised RI list when it is released...I guess they say that they are big over in the UK.

The cars I import are not legalized, however, my buyer in El Paso is currently going through the process to register it without legalization...of which I am fairly well aware of. There are always loopholes through everything...many companies don't want others to find out because of competition reasons...I can understand that. Razor - if you need proof that I have actually brought in Skylines to the US, you are free to email me at [email protected] I don't have anything to hide (except my process) and don't BS about this kind of stuff - there'd be no point. For anyone that wanted to see this beautiful car...here's a pic of it:

I've heard of this Fuel Imports. The last I heard was they were going through MotoRex for the legalization process then passing on they were doing it themselves. How true it is or not has not be 100% confirmed hence my leaving them off of the places to go for legalization.

From what you are saying this cap in El Paso will or could very well get himself into a big pot of trouble. The main problem is you can't pawn these cars off as custom built, home build, etc to bypass the laws they are too well known about.

On the Fuel Import place they can claim what they want, fact is if they have done that many i am sure more than one magazine would have covered it by now as some sort of confirmation. This in turn would get around like wild fire. So far, this is only my personal opinion on them is they sound no different then Omega who turned out to be nothing more than a money pit for a lot of people with promisses which they could not keep.

Bringing in a Skyline or any other car isn't a major. Getting it legalized is. That is where the proof is needed. I hope you can understand I am only looking after everyone that views these boards, and they asperations of actually owning one of these cars.

You're right, there are quite a few laws...and he doesn't face any trouble either. It is not as hard as you may think to get one of these vehicles registered. There are different loopholes and clauses that make it fairly simple if you know what you are doing. I didn't start this thread as saying that I import legal Skylines...I just said that I have imported them and sold them. I don't legalize them in any ways, I just sell them to people who want to have a Skyline for a cheaper price. This also allows them to go out and try to register it (out of every Skyline I've sold, I have never had one person come back and say they couldn't register it)...or keep it as a show car/permit driven car, whatever.

90% of people working for the DOT or DMV have no clue what a Skyline is...makes it fairly simple in that respect to register them. More than half of Americans don't know what Skylines are...most people that work for Nissan here in America don't know what Skylines are except the ones that play Grand Tourismo...

Bringing in these cars isn't an easy task either...if it were, there would be thousands of non-legalized Skylines here in the US...and that's not the case.

Fuel Imports supposedly bought out another RI down in FL...they don't market or focus much on the US market, or so they say....anyhow, I think they are pretty sketchy myself, but you never know until you see the permits and lisences.

It is illegal to do what you are doing. You are bypassing Federal Laws.

Consider yourself reported to the DOT , EPA , and customs service.

Thanks for all the information in your profile . Will make it much easier to track you down.

i hope you were kidding about reporting him

[tyndago]

Not all all kidding. I have done it before . I will do it again.

The only people he is hurting is the people that buy the cars from him.

When something happens to their car , or they try and sell it to someone else , they are the ones going to be stuck with an illegal car.

He doesn't care , he sold the car . He got his money.

Come to California and try to do that. I have been on the end of the phone with several people with cars that had been imported and never legalized.

Cars that have been in 3-4 states prior to coming to California . Then they try and register the car in California and they are not able to.

So what do you do . You paid good money for a car . Now its 3,4,5 years later . Maybe you are the 2nd or 3rd owner since the car was imported.

Now you the current owner have to pay the $6500 - $25,000 to legalize this car. Sure would have made a difference when you paid for the car right ?

So now you are defauded out of the sale . If you sell the car to someone , knowing its not legal , then you are liable.

WHAT DO YOU DO ?

See you all sit there in front of the computer and talk about this , dream about that , but in the real world I have had to help out some of these people.

I do not bypass any federal laws and everything I do is 100% legal and by the books. I have all of my entries filed 100% correct and all of my vehicles approved 100%.

I do not sell vehicles for road use, I sell them for offroad use only. If I sold them to the customer without telling them that they will have problems registering the vehicles etc...if they so choose to and if they did not know exactly what was happening with the cars, then I would be misleading them, but I am not. Every person ever to order a vehicle from me knows the same thing: 1) These are JDM Vehicles. 2) They are sold for off-road use only. 3) If they choose to try and register the car, they may run into many complications.

Sean - are you intimidated because people would buy these cars instead of paying your ass $50k over what they sell for in Japan because you "supposedly" have all of this research? More like you paid JK Motors and have since had a Monopoly with MotoRex...give me a break. You can report me all you want, but I am 100% within my rights and what I do is 100% legal. If you don't like that, then I am sorry. If you would like to make me your new target for attacking - bring it on.
