It's also in Japan and not Federalized. There's a lot more to importing a Skyline than just getting it shipped here.

Sean you're probably one to know this question...

How much cheaper is the legalization for a non-Ca car? or is 50 state legal the only way it can be done?

thanks..

Motorex doesnt charge any different price for California or Federal car.

Is it even Possible to have a None 50 State legal car, meaning, are other R.I's able to conform the car 49 State legally, outside of Motorex?

Yes its possible to have a car that is only 49 state.

California in itself is not the hard part.

The EPA 49 state part is the hard part. Once you do FTP testing for EPA California is easy.

Thanks for clearing that up Sean....

Opps that was supposed to say that you can have a car that is only 49 state.

Its weird . With the Clean Air Act and California. The laws state you can meet US Federal Standards or California standards , but you can not make up new standards.

Only California gets to make up their own standards.....

lol... Exactly!
We might have all year round sunshine here in California, but we also have some of the most stringent rules and regs governing the automobile industry and clean air acts that Sean rightly pointed out, "Make up their own rules"!!
It's a load of Bollox in my opinion cuz it's not the more modern cars like Skylines, which are pumping out the filth that fills our air... it's all the old pieces of Shite which populate our highways that create the brown clouds that hover above us as we speak... Most of the old car are smog exempt, but hey... They're classics, right?
F*** that...
That and the Tractor trailors etc...
I'd like to see a Big Yellow School Bus hooked upto a Smog machine...

Funny thing is, i have a video somewhere in my collection of a School bus running a 1/4 mile drag, shooting NOS all the way and popping a wheelie... Funniest thing i've seen that is!
Still gross poluters though... lol

if everybody had a skyline that was not US legal, they would still make less polution than all the school buses in the world
