Well I have been reading the forums and looking the input that people have been putting up in here and on other threads. Yet again I see alot of uneducated people make statements about things and I really dont understand where they get their information. I am very thorough about my research and usually dont make statements before I have the factual information to back them up. Anyone still doubting my business's true nature its your loss. Back to the subject at hand, KIT CARS! I have contacted the DMV and State patrol in Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and Texas to verify the guidelines and regulations as to how cars are designated as Kit Cars and what is required. Well ANY SERIES of skylines can be brought into the country as a Kit car if the paperwork and the cars are appropriately done and shipped. All 4 states state patrol stated to me very directly (and I took my GTS to both the Oregon and Washington state patrol offices to show them the car) that if the placard and chassis stamp both matched with the same chassis number and have not been altered in any way they will certify the skylines as a Kit car. This means they can be titled and legal in the state that verifies the VIN/Chassis number. You can sell the cars and they can be moved to another state with the current states title but you will have to go through the process of reverifying the VIN/Chassis #'s in your state of residence. There are no restrictions on these cars, no mileage nothing and they are a ROAD LEGAL car. As stated the kit cars do not have to meet all the bullshit federal regulations because there are alot of Lamo's, Porsches, Ferrari's (sp) on the road that are designated kit cars and they are not going to change the laws or view the cars differently then they do those top end road machines. So if you wish to verify what I am saying contact your state patrol and once that is done contact your local DMV and they will tell you once they get the certification form from the state patrol the will issue a kit car title. I have personally checked 4 states and got the same answer all the way around. If you want a DOT/NHTSA certified car you can do that with 2 companies in the US right now, but the kit car is the less costly way to go and still be legal. All of those people out there stating the the cars will be confiscated and all kinds of bullshit when you get pulled over because the car isnt DOT/NHTSA certified you need again to be educated. I have been pulled over 13 times in my black GTS and not once have I even been cited for anything, and 2 times it was of exhibition of speed. So stop making people panic about that because its not true!!! Most of the times the cops are like "what the hell is this???" and let you off just because of the car LOL... this has happened to me! You can send me questions at chris@skylinerevolution.com or pm me here I check this daily and my email for the company about twice an hour.
