? about importation options.

Hey all,
Is there any other FULLY legal way to get a Skyline in the U.S. other than MotoRex? If so what is the cost??

Nismo Skyline · May 1st, 2002, 10:13 PM

At this point no. Motorex is the only game in town. They stepped up and spent the money to do all of the EPA and DOT testing. They had to crash test 3 cars to pass all of the tests.

If you do your research on what it would cost to try and do it yourself, you will see that it is not that bad. What else can you buy for the same money that is this unique?

Nismo Skyline ,

Thanks fot the reply. I ah e done some research and have come up with the fact that the price MotoRex is asking is reasonable. I was jsut wondering if I had missed something.
BTW does the Skyline live up to the hype?

Heres a list of Registered Importers...

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/

Check out the rules - check out what it takes - its not easy.

We have had a lot of people say they were going to try and compete with us. So far - no one has done it legitimately.

MotoRex,

You guys rule!! I not one of those peeps that thinks you are screwing your buyers. Like I said, Ive done some research and you guys are worth it. Dont let anyone give you any crap. BTW If you could "donate" a Bay-Side blue R34 GTR to me, I would use it to advertise for you up here in New England

We have a lot of both - " you guys charge too much" - and "you guys are the *hit".

Get both emails everyday. Once I show the ones how difficult it is to import and legalize a car - most of them shut up about the high prices.

As far as donating a car... theres only 3 Bayside blue R34's in the US.... couldnt give you one of 3...

MotoREx,
Only 3, I want one even more now. I guess my 1/10th Scale AWD nitro RC Bay-Side blue one will have to do.... for now BTW Did you guys get ahold of any of the NUR models?

May 3rd, 2002, 08:44 PM

We have one white Nur edition coming in....

MotoRex,
Oh so sweet. Do the NUR editions out perfom the stockers?? and what about $$$. Also what do you forsee of your future importing Skylines with all of the talk of offical nissan importation? Will you continue to import older(up to R34)Skylines? What about the good JDM version of a GTR that we most likley wont get(as always)?

How much does the R34 V Spec II cost in Japan (USD)?

Also, how many R34s are actually out there in the US? I saw one around town (see my link in sig), and was actually surprised: it was WA plates.

In your site, the curb weight is 3400 lbs for this beast. That's freakin' heavy, dude! The car in real life looks smaller than I imagined it to be, and it's hard to believe that this small fry (relativly) weighs so much.

I'm gonna be one of the ppl who's gonna say "YOU GUYS RULE!"

And this ends my first post.

(BTW, I'm no post whore!)

Nur edition have N1 blocks , turbos , etc... still amazingly rated at 276 hp.... but maybe they make a little more than that. As far as how much better than stock...tell you when we get it.

Already the Skyline is here - the G35 . But as far as a GT-R... the new car - if or when it comes - may be very different in Japan and the US. With the G35 4 door , G35 coupe , and the New Z coming.. I dont see Nissan having a market space for a GT-R.

We will still be importing R32 /R33's as long as there is still a demand.
