Is it legal to drive a Skyline here in the states, or atleast in cali? I know that theres a place in Cali where they sale Skylines, its in either Gardena or Glendora, one of those cities, i might be wrong tho :helo: and i've seen a car parked at the mall in glendale that looked EXACTLY like an R33, dunno if it was a real R33 or a clean ass conversion. I was to busy drooling to look inside to see if the steering wheel was on the left or right side. But it looked to me like a stock R33. It was soooooo coooool.
:eeek:

www.skylinegtr.com Motorex is the company.
They are the only legal importers of street legal Skylines in the US, if you don't buy it from them, it's not legal. They have to do a bunch of work on the cars before they sell them here, like DOT seatbelts, lights, crash bumpers, etc.

I dunno, they won't tell anyone what changes they make, cause then someone else could start a company using their procedures and start competing with Motorex.

You can get anything if you have enough money... You just need to know people in the importing business and then well.. the rest is all about cash..

theres a place in japan www.j-garage.com im not sure if its the motorex place er not but they sell used but very sweet j-spec cars like new supras and skylines and all that, the cars themselves are fairly cheap for a j-spec but the fee for importing and all the changes makes up for the rest check it out.

Well they don't do anything to them really pat. Everything is DOT approvable. The glass is fine, the bumpers are fine, the lights are fine(don't have reflector but it doesn't matter for some reason). The only thing really is the cat. It needs one. That's pretty much it.
