Sorry Heedz... but I'm pretty sure you are wrong..

"On March 13, 2008, the NHTSA added addendums to the rules as they apply to the crash tested R33′s.The previously mentioned Confidentiality Agreement with Motorex/J.K. Motorsports has expired, thus the steps required to legally modify R33′s has been released.The only information not included in the disclosure concerns EPA required OBD modifications. Full disclosure is available for review:NHTSA-update.pdf"

That is from the link I provided and I've done some research on it because I'm interested in getting one sometime down the road. The R33's can be modified LEGALLY to be safe on our roads. Things like seat brackets, headlight bulbs and houseing and a ton of other things need to be changed though. Motorex was one of the few companies that did it legit.

 

One of the biggest reasons why we have a ban on Skylines is because of Motorex........ Most of these sites are incorrect. Even if you have a motorex car pre-ban they will still come to your house and take them.

Aaron where are you???

 

Motorex skylines are getting taken back by the government from my understanding. Motorex scammed the system and only did crash testings on R33 skylines and claimed they did it for the r32 and r34. If i remember correctly since they did the testing on the R33 they are the only ones that can be legalized in the US.

 

Yes but still any car gone through them is being taken. The Govt isn't going to waste time sorting through them hence a ban on all skylines.

 

In 2014 the first model year R32 will be 25 years old. Will they be able to be legalized then?

 

Biggest question yet, it's unknown the ban may be through out all R models or anything including an RB who knows what kind of **** they'll bring on these cars. Question is, will it extend to the stageas, laurels, and cefiros??? Now what about silvias? It's a big ordeal that until something is put out there that Everything is legal.... It's a waste of time.

 

So even though a car gets federally certified with crash tests and emissions crap its still illegal? If you have the paperwork to prove that it passes in both area, they can't take it. Thats just my thought though. Almost everything I've read on this topic ends with r33's that have been tested with crash tests and emissions are LEGAL and ALL r32's and r34's are ILLEGAL. Thats my understanding.

 

Doesn't matter what it is they'll take it it's considered illegal, unless you have customs papers. It's a BAN on them.

 

So if I have the papers, its legal? So there are some that are legal then? Is that what you are saying?

 

Didn't a member here buy an R32 not too long ago in the past year from LA?

 

Yes they cannot confiscate them from you but yes it's still illegal

 

Oh and you can't drive it on the streets. With papers that is

 

Sheeeit, well as long as it doesn't get confiscated then its legal to me! lol just track the beast! no street driving.

 

You can register R33 skylines it doesnt have to be through motorex , they actually did the crash test ratings on them. I know a couple people who have legal R33's with Cali tags.

 

You think they'd want to sell me one in like 10 years? Lol

Can you throw a r34 body on a r33 frame? I don't like the r33 bodies..
