i have been reading the threads but couldn't find a clear answer, sorry if i missed it somewhere. My question is can i find a skyline myself and import it on a temp import bond (or however it's done)and then take it to motorex to be legalized, or does the skyline have to come into the country through motorex first, will motorex legalize my skyline or do i have to buy there skylines.

Ya know, if you're serious about purchasing it, you can call the guys down at Motorex and ask them about it. They're a really nice bunch of guys, and they'll tell you what's needed for something like that.

Why don't you talk to Sean at RBMotoring, he can probably answer all of your questions, and give you realistic timelines and costs.

i call motorex and got all my qustions answered and someday maybe i'll be driving a skyline:biggrin:

If ya'll happen to be truly interested in a Nissan Skyline, I know where you can buy them. If you happen to be truly interested you may Email me or send me a private Message.

They ship them in from Japan and make them as legal to the US as they can.

Hey RacerChik,
If you don't mind me asking... What's the name of this "company" that buys Skylines and sends them to the US?

I just so happen to work at a car lot in Japan and I'm still not aware of another RI other than Motorex and RB Motoring.

I am not exactly sure on the company name. I know the company is based out of New Jersey...

Look at Unreal-Imports.com under customer cars. Thoes are the skylines they bought and are selling.

Next tyme i see my friend I will ask her on the company name......

i looked into the site that was posted up and this seems like another too good to be true thing... but if it is... i'm ordering one... but how the heck can you make sure... all this talk about only motorex and rbmotoring can bring a skyline so it gets a guy kind of skeptical... but under $20k for a r32 sounds nice + shipping... :iceslolan

Like I always say....
I will do anything for a Skyline...hehe

The girl that is in NJ...They get them, fix them to US standars...sell them for anywhere from...45-100G....so...it juss depends on the year and stuffs!

$45k to $100 sounds a bit more realistic. If anyone was selling R32 GT-R's in the states for under $20k, I'd say they were too stupid to own a business.

Like I always say....

they can do the legalization work themselves, true. but make them US street legal? no. DOT has only approved RB motoring and Motorex to LEGALLY import and legalize skylines. that unreal imports or whatever can do the work if they are so inclined, but still have to pay motorex or RB to OK the car to the USDOT, EPA, AND US customs.


EDIT: i just took a look at your unreal imports site. hahaha. they are so smart. they photoshopped their logo as winshield banners onto the cars UNDER THE CUSTOMER CAR SECTION. to me that raised the red flag. but get this.....look at the very bottom picture with that silver r33. look at the SUV next to it. not only do none of those cars have real lisence plates, but that SUV looks to me as it is RHD as well. what did they do? import a jap spec SUV for the hell of it? SMART! also, in the top left pic, i see a j-spec plate in the windsheild, granted it could be for looks, but with the rest of the blatant info.....:dupe: those cars arent in the US. you missed the signs and got mistaken. you have to pay attention to detail when it comes to stuff like this :D.

look at the mitsubishi page of the cars that they are "selling". rally and race spec cars for under 40 grand? unbelievable. also, due to the fact that those cars are OBVIOUSLY still in japan. i thought "ok maybe its just those evo's i mean, it wouldnt be hard to get them in seeing as we offer the same models in the US." every other page is the same way. all the cars are in japan. and they even say that they arent registered to legalize for the US. although they mention that "they can easily do it". no. this looks like another Night 7 scandal all over again. this website is probably ment for europe and japan. not the US. some cars they would be able to get into the US, but the skylines? no. all you need to know is that only 2 companies can do it, and if one of them didnt do it the car isnt street legal. plain and simple.

BUT! BUT! however, for this company to get skylines into the US, they would have to pay motorex or RB to do the work for the car to be a-ok. this is a legitimate RI, im sure. But the price would be bumped up to the more sensible $30-$100k price range. you could do it cheaper if you found a skyline that could use a bit of work and sent it to motorex. keeps the cost down.

Who else is getting tired of this shit :rolleyes:

I just took a peek at the site as well... Wow...

That is probably the worst photoshop work I have ever seen. Those cars are DEFFINATELY in Japan still, I've seen enough images of JDM Vehicles at shipping yards to know.

This sounds like a huge scam... O and oi boy, on their custom cars page, it says right at the top:

"These are some cars that have been purchased by US buyers"

But then I saw this on their Importing Requirements page...

"To all U.S. buyers, we are dealing with a few third party RI's that will do compliance to all the cars bought from us. The price of the compliance is added to the total costs of the car. You the buyers can always look for RI's of your choice, that's if they are willing to work on the car of your choice. Not all RI's can work on every car. We advise every buyer to call and do your research regarding importing a car to your country, not just the U.S. "

So Im not sure... Sounds sketch still that they had to photoshop their logos onto 'their' cars.

... This is why, Im a Zed dude :D

-Wes

if they are purchased by US customers, wouldnt they take pictures of the cars in the US instead of in japan? i also took a look at the DOT's RI list, and there is no unreal imports registered as a registered importer.

i think people should just pay attention to the details when they look at these things. its not as easy to get a skyline as alot of these kids think. you cant just buy one in japan and have it shipped over here. theres much more money and work involved.

Once again, all the markings of a scam site.

No physical address listed
Only temporary mobile numbers listed (Not going to get ahold of anyone at a fax machine)
No business by that name registered under the Better Business Bureau

Again, when it comes to several tens of thousands of dollars, I want to be able to go to the place on the spur of the moment and check it out before I'll trust giving them my money.

Who else is getting tired of this shit :rolleyes:

I'm gon' git me one dem dare Skylines man. How do I do it any ways? You guys got any clues? My dad said I could if I pass 9th grade scince!

Yeah, and it's always people with 2 or 3 posts that are either asking these questions or that claim to have all the answers. As well as the 411 on these "alternatives" to Motorex and RB.

Coincidence? maybe. But either way, It's starting to feel like the Skyline Forum is starting to become like the "Street Racing" Forum. (figuratively speaking).

I'm gon' git me one dem dare Skylines man. How do I do it any ways? You guys got any clues? My dad said I could if I pass 9th grade scince!

Bwahahahaha... Too true, too true.

I've said it before, and apperently Im saying it again... Just wait... 2014 is going to be a good year for American Skyline Aficionados...

-Wes

It will never be the same. I'd rather have the R32, R33, or R34, than ANYTHING they have coming down the pipe. No more Skyline GTr...so what's the use?

I siad that in another thread, what will be the use to spend money on a skyline ? there will be better cars at the same price...

That's why I want a Skyline NOW
Legaly or not, well if not legal, it will be in a driveway jyst for fun to have one :D

Well technically (someone correct me if I am wrong) you can import the car as a parts car only.

Which basically says the car can never be titled, or even driven again.

But if you live some bum fuck of a town, you may not even have to get the thing registered. But in the City Of Wilmington... And in most other places, wont work.

Now, right near Wilmington, there is a country ass town called Castle Hayne... A place that didnt grow up with the rest of the world kind of.

I saw a broke ass R32 GTS-T out there, that was being run as a daily driver for a dude in his mid 20's.

I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw it, I asked him if it was legal, he said "Whats not legal about it? Its got wheels dont it?"

Haha... So apperently no one cares around there.

But the only way to get it done right, is send the car to the proper RI (Registered Importer). Because sooner or later, your going to get bent over by some agency wanting to put your car to death...

... Now do you really want to see your precious Skyline get crushed?

Prolly' not.

-Wes

^ let me pack my bags!! and go there!!

I own Unreal Imports, and you guys are all entitled to your opinion if you think we'ved photoshopped our logos onto the cars windshields, thats fine with us. We put our logos in Japan to all the cars we sell. And we asked the buyers to leave it, since that is one of our marketing methods, for my company to get established stateside.

Im not a big company like your other well known and recognized ones, that is why I get the cars cheaper, since i have no overhead to deal with.

We sold 5 BCNR33's to 1 buyer in NJ, who owns those cars, and are in NJ in Port Elizabeth. You can all go there if you want to see them. Simply call the owners who also legalize these cars tel no. (973)-876-4141.
They might even take one of the cars in Atlantic City in Oct 23rd for the "Hot Import Nights"

My business is not about legalizing cars or any compliance issues, we source cars for buyers worldwide.

Yes we do pass or make some perspective buyers call some RI's and ICI's we know and deal with. BUT we are never involved in that process.
Once the car leaves Japan or Europe, we are no longer liable for customs clearance or any of that headache. You the buyer will fill your HS7's and so forth, we only give buyers the Bill of Lading, cancelled registration, and our Proforma Invoice.

You can also call DOT/NHTSA, ask for George Stevens.

Im sure there are always skeptics, and people who will call us scamers. If you think my company is a scam, call Mr Gordon at the Better Business Bureau and report the scam you think Ived made, cause I will charge ever single one of you of slander.

Wow, the man came on here himself to defend his company. I respect that. Sorry if your company got bad mouthed on here but the original poster who gave us your info also said your company legalizes Skylines. The BS flag had to be raised.

One question though, will your company ever go through the processes to legalize a Skyline or other cars (i.e. Silvia)?

^^----- im down for a silvia :D or 180sx.

this is weird, ok before i went to motorex, i called RB motoriings, and they said that they don't legalize any cars as of yet. They did petition for a evo and a skyline...... so str8t answer is that motorex is the only company that legalizes those beast.

hmmm im not gonna get involved in this one :uhoh:

well...hmm..i didnt know that. i dont think anyone else knew that either! i thought there was TONS of ways to get skylines without going through motorex!!!!

that was sarcastic incase you didnt pick up the hint. RB Motoring is in the final stages of finishing their petition. ive been hearing anywhere from the end of the year to next summer RB should be on the scene.

Don't hold your breath on that. I do not think they will ever be able to do it, even MotoRex! From the information that I have been reading. If they do, expect the prices to increase.

As things are going these days, i wouldnt find it odd to see these prices go up.

To answer the question about compliance and legalization issues, my company does not deal with all that headache. I never said we legalize the cars that are brought from us. We simply pass perspective buyers to RI's that might be able to do all the compliance. Any buyer have the right to go to any Ri and ICI to get the cars legalized.

The buyer who bought all the BCNR33's from us, apparently have a way of legalizing and clearing the car thru customs. I gave their number to everyone so you can call them.

We simply source cars/parts for buyers, which we get from Japanese Auto auction houses all over Japan and from dealers all over Europe.

We get paid by locating the car, doing its paperwork and shipping it. Legalizing and compliance is NOT our business.

do you import to canada?

contact JNS-IMPORTS. jesus......US companies more than likley NOT IMPORT TO CANADA, you have your own companies.

I don't even know why I asked this question...

i just like to give credit wheres its due.

you mean...it's a compliment ?
"you're still retarded" look like you're saying that to me

I don't know much about the importing of Skylines here, except Motorex does it. They charge roughly ninety thousand dollars, and I know about ten thousand is spent on emission changes. that's the REAL reason the Skyline isn't in the states, for it fails our emissions, horribly. The reason Motorex is the only one to ship them here legally, is because they are the only company that puts so much money into adjusting Skylines for American-road use. I have heard, recently in fact, that the Skylines WILL be comming into the States some time next year. Nissan tried to bring it here in 2002, but for some reason, it failed, and I don't know why. From what I hear, the Skyline's WHP will be reduced, and the body will be changed, to resemble something that looks more like a 350 Z. I'm not sure if this information is credible enough to go on it, but I will say the person DOES know what he's talking about when it comes to imported cars, for he drives a 1996 S15 Silvia, which he got imported here only in 2001.

Ah, I read somewhere up in this forum topic that Motorex doesn't legallize the Skylines themselves. I understand they do all the importation paperwork and what not, but now I'm stumped - if Motorex doesn't legallize the Skylines, then who does? I don't think there are too many compaines out there, well...nevermind that last one. The dude who works at Motorex; post me your thoughts? Thanks.

Skylines won't be coming. Infinitis are already there.

What are you talking about when you talk about Infinities? We're talking about cars, not makes. and if you really want to get technical, Infinity was already here, due to the fact that Nissan owns them. :P

infinity g35 otherwise none as the skyline v35. No skyline names to the US because we have them as Inifinity's
