I have a rich freind who is interested in a gtr but the only importer to the US that i know of is MOTOREX and they seem high on prices can anyone help me by giving me some importer sources for the r33 or r32 as many options as i can get will be much help.[/font]

 

psuLemon

you can't get one. You rich friend will have to buy if from someone that has already a converted GTR as Motorex has their licenses revoked for not payin dues.

so your telling me motorex is the only company that imports and converts skylines there must be someone else out there who can get one please give me feed back worth my time not this crap thanks

psuLemon

no you retard, im tellin you that NO ONE can import and legally convert a skyline in the US due to the FACT that MOTOREX got their licenses REVOKED. its plain and simple. NO ONE CAN DO IT!!!!


this is why i said, you have to find an already converted and legalized GTR for your friend to get one. Otherwise he isn't gettin a GTR. I know what i am talkin bout. Try to listen.

you can import any car from anywhere if you have deep pockets, which i guess your friend does, but the real issue lies in getting it leegalized, which is next to impossible. you can get a car and label it as maybe track/offroad use, but it will never see public streets.and psulemon, is right, there is no one importing skylines. if you find a gtr here in the states, expect to pay a pretty penny, a real pretty penny

try calling Moto Imports, they are located on Long island, in NY. they sold an R33 not to long ago and have a few other jap skylines that they recently inported. ask them if they can get you a GTR........

631-588-8359
15 trade zone drive
ronkonkoma 11779 long island ny


you can ask for Junior, hes a great tuner and very well respected in the tunning world.....He used to work for turbo trix in jersey (they were the first to get a US Spec EVO in the 10's, and 9's) Also Junior has built a few Supra's with over 800whp.

grant it they might have some skylines brought over on a HS-7 form or as kit cars, and they might be US titles, but unless motorex converted them early, they will not be street legal. Just to let you know.

there are ways around that. they have some sort of special "immunity" that im not even sure about, they do some serious importing there for upscale clientele (they were the first place in the US to have a ferrari f430). wouldnt be surprised if they operate in the gray area of the law. they are located in a foreign trade zone near an airport...... the car that i saw sold was an R33 and was registered in NY, with the steering wheel on the jap side. i have no idea what one needs to do to make it street legal and i know that motorex isnt forthcoming with what they do to make the cars street legal (which is BS in my opinion)

celm

i know there importing the cars under Box 5 and not telling the customer that.

celm

i use to live 10 min from there.There is foreign trade zone in long island but its in a industrial area there companies that do importing and exporting.but the cars normaly come into NJ at the port there

 

XterraLou

what is box 5?

psuLemon

When you import a car under HS-7, box 5 you have only so long to have your car here for so long, usually a year. once that shit is up, the car needs to be exported back to japan.

secondly stop using the word Jap, its a racist comment, please use the work JDM or Japanese.

If you want to know more on import laws, check out www.dot.gov

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/...hs799short.pdf check out the pdf file, and look at box 5. its a clause essentially. If the car is US legal it will come with DOT, NHTSA records and a Bond release. Nismo Skyline (the skyline section mod) has one of these cars and all the documentation. So when a company sells you these cars and you dont have the documentation and your form time runs out, guess what.. buh bye car.

ahh thanks, im sure that its not under box 5 thats poor business practices especially since they tune and build many "normal" cars, they wouldnt be able to keep a customer base for tuning which is what they do on a daily basis. And besides if you misrepresent the vehicle like that in a sales contract it is voidable to the buyer, they will winout in a lawsuit. Even if the vehicle is sold "as is" it must be expressly stated in a sales contract that that such specific warranties arent valid. And on that sheet is says you cant sell a vehicle that is imported under box 5 so the only people that would be screwed is the seller/importer of the car.

psuLemon

^ you would think that wouldn't you, but when a profit is shown, many people would take it. Cuz i am 100% sure that they are not able to legalize those cars, so i am positive they are in the grey area and selling them illegally. Celm, correct me if i am wrong, but even if you have it over no a "buildable/kit car" you aren't able to sell it right. Cuz they are still brought over on the Hs-7 form, just a different box? Like you aren't really able to sell your evo-7 or your gtir right?
