Still sucks for those of us in California.... I was getting all ready to buy that blue R32 on their site if they were legit, but I saw this at the bottom of the page: The Skyline kits are not legal in the state of California.

it could be legit but i'd have to see the car in person and meet the seller before i did anything. But that R34 NUR spec is HAWT!!! i love that millenium jade color.

from what i know from what ive read at the NHTSA 2006 laws on kit cars- skyline-imports (as well as any skyline) doesnt meet the requirements for a kit car. one requirement says that a rolling shell to the NHTSA means a chassis that has never had an engine in it- ever. theyre not on the registered importer list as well. but ya never know, theyve been advertising their cars on modifiedcartrader.com, i saw the ad in the back of superstreet? import tuner? one of those mags

It's a scam. They try to sell you the car under the pretence's that it is a "KIT CAR". They define at the bottom that it isn't california legal do to the fact that california DMV no longer has paper work to file a supposed "KIT CAR", of this nature.
Really it's a scam and is still 100% JDM illegal, which means how ever they are shipping it through customs is a no, no....:nono:

How is it that this company advertises legal SKYLINES for $30,000 whereas the only legitimate Skyline conversion company that had success at legalizing the Skyline had to sell them for $100,000?

Hmm.

Something for nothing? It must be true!

PS: There are many of us that don't live in California, did you know that? There is the rest of what is called the United StateS of America. Did you know that? :D But, I doubt these cars can be titled, liscensed, or insured in any state, legally.

haha, theres an Escort RS on that page. I bet that'd be a LITTLE easier to tag/title in the non california US

edit://HAHAHAHA click on the top R33 GTR picture in the Skyline Kits section

Yeah fact is IT'S ILLEGAL IN ALL STATES . This company just writes a B.S document stating that it's a KIT car, which it's not. This car was a production car. The federal government even has labelled the skyline as a car on it's hot list (since the fall of MOTOREX inc.) for customs officials. Some one would have to be stupid to buy one. It's a scam.

In Fl you can legally import 1996-1998 R33s through a authorized importer since they meet canadian safety standards. And 1988 Silvias and 1991-1996 Aristos and Soarers. Sure it will cost thousands more than what you pay for the actual car, but it can be done legally in some states. These guys look like a scam however, I wish I could get an R32 GTR over here, trying to check into it now.
