I get a call today from a guy with a 1994 R33 GTS that is in Canada.

Canadian customs will not release the vehicle - as the Skylines are not legal in Canada. The only thing they will allow him to do is send the vehicle onto another destination.

He was asking about 6-12 months to import the vehicle , etc.

More lies and mis-information from the Omega Skylines site...

Welcome to the world of - dont pay any attention to what I have being saying and reciting for years.

This guy has a car in Canada , that he can not do anything with. His choices are to import it into the US and pay MotoRex $16,000 to legalize it , or export it back to Japan.

I am pretty sure that this guy was just trying to get around the rules - read the false information and now is screwed....

Think about this when you go and advise people on importation information.

A good place to start is the DOT website at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov.

(202)366-5291 Office of Safety and Compliance.

Talk to them before you buy any cars off idiots on the internet...

I could've told him that . . . in fact it wouldn't surprise me if I did, somewhere along the line . . .



You are so right, people either not paying attention, or succumbing to wishful thinking. And now he's hosed

Dont buy the car . Unless you can get 100% confirmation that you can get the car legal .Ask them if they are a registered importer. Ask them if they are an ICI. Ask for proof . You want to see documents prior to putting any money down.

Talk to the NHTSA (202)366-5291 .
