Alright, yes i'm a newB. And i have been doing alot of reading and researching on the importing of vehicles, specifically the Skyline. I have but one question, is RB motoring the only company that can legalize the skyline now that motorex is out of business? Also, were the rights to all the research for the crash tests and what not, sold to anyone/company in particular? Well thanks for your time.

J.

RB motoring could never leglize skylines. they got their cars from mrex. they are however in the process of getting their petition to legalize skylines looked over by NHSTA, USDOT, and EPA.

the rights for the research were never sold. they were bought by mrex from JK motors when mrex first got started. they never did any of the testing, and still own the rights to all the legalization information.

Ahh, its good to see a new member coming in here some form of class. Welcome dude :thumbsup:

My guess would be that RB Motoring will start legalizing vehicles... Which would be pretty cool, considering what a well run business it is already. I would certainly buy a Skyline from them.

Wonder what $25,000 can get me :evillol:

Thats what im talking about, im not in any hurry, i still have three years over seas to worry about before i look at buying a Skyline. I have checked out there website a few times, is there a link on there where they have cars for sale right now?

Also, I was doing some research talking to the customs agents at the embassy in London, and they said the JK Technologies is legalizing Skylines, theres no web page for them, but let me find the number and i will post it up here, if anyones interested.

Im very interested... Keep us posted on that dude.

Okay, so i was rummaging through all the legal docs. and forms and other shit i have for everything that needs to be done and what not for importing a this incredible machine.... As i was flipping through my RI's list i came across J.K. Tecnologies a.k.a. J.K. Motors, the company that did all the crash tests and everything that needed to be proved, anyway the address is

3500 Sweet Air St.
Baltimore, MD 21001

phone # 410-366-6464
410-366-7655

I will continue to dig deep into the web to find some more out about what there doing now.

JK tech...being the same company as JK Motors? in the US, no they arent. and as far as UKDM cars, they dont have to be legalized, just imported as far as my understanding.

JK Tech. is the company that originally did all the crash testing/petitioning for the Skyline on Motorex's behalf. In other words, Motorex, who did not have all the crash testing equipment, paid JK to do it for them. JK tech will not do any of the legalization, I've asked.
Anyways, the info you posted about them is wrong, after the City/State you got the info from the next RI on the list. Here's the correct info:

J.K. TECHNOLOGIES
3500 SWEET AIR ST
BALTIMORE, MD 21211

Phone: 410-366-6332
Fax: 410-366-7655


As far as UKDM importing, they follow the same rules as importing from anywhere else. They have to be on the list, and they have to be listed as RHD if they are on the list. In otherwords, no UKDM car is allowed into the US for road use as of now, unless they get legalized by an RI or they are over 25 years old.

Good catch Gtes-T, it was early and looking back i see i was looking at the wrong company. It was early, forgive me. Alright, if there not the same company, how is it possible for two completely diff. companies to run a business from the same address, and phone numbers?

The rights for what? another shame? lol..... JK Technologies papers show that any RI can do it.

www.bushido7.com thats my website and i have the skyline legalization papers. If its 30 years or older you don't even need an RI to "convert" it

This is of course if they are on DOT's list and they are marked down for passenger vehicle conversion.

But i want an R30 over an R32-34 right now :grinyes:

Good on you for going out to http://dms.dot.gov/search/searchformsimple.cfm and the search is 5507. But your missing the MOST important part, w1ngzer0, the classified material about all the structural flaws that needed to be improved upon.

whats the point of the avarage joe knowing the structural flaws if he doesn't have an RI liscense? Me having the documents from exactly what you said. Proves that mrex isn't the only people that can do it. JK technologies was doing it when mrex exsisted.

The RI just needs to request the information. Thats what you would have understood if you read the documents. Also from the crash data you should be able to understand where the flaws are

And if were that simple to "just request" the documents, dont you think there would be more companies out there doing just that?

wow....kid your dumb. JK tech or JK motors never legalized any skylines. they just did the petition, then ran out of money. they sold their petition to mrex, and put it in motorex's name. the big flaw in your idea is not that "you have the paperwork" or you can just "request the information", but that the information is proprietary. meaning if you didnt crash the cars, DOT wont even recognize it. you need actual data, not words on paper. motorex is and was the only company ever legalizing skylines. like i tell all the other newbs, do some research before you come in here thinking you know more than us. you forget, that this is our passion. we research everyday on this crap, and all the stuff you newbs keep bringing up is all old and tired to us.

Wow intelligence just radiates from you. If you know so much why is there a conformation page?

This has nothing to do with the general public. But did you also know that an RI can have 1 car that doesn't comply with DOT?

Instead of talking smack. Why don't you prove me wrong so you can shut me up.

the RI can have it, but they cant release the car to the public, or drive it on the street. the car needs to be garaged until legalized for US use (in the case of skylines).

From what i've seen in the Mischief movies/trailers off the net, most of the Skylines seem to be going to idiots who like speeding, doing donuts/burnouts and other crazy/reckless shoit.

I doubt there is anyone in the US who would want to keep a Skyline in stock condition either.

So basically i'm not really that sympathetic for all you guys (unless you're not planning on doing crazy/reckless stuff in a Skyline) sorry.

Yes, i do love Skylines...

what does that have anything to do with what weve been talking about.

dudes i just thought.. i motorex is gone who in the new converter guys???? i need to know cuz i want a r33 in 4 years or so

there is no RI legalizing skylines yet.

this crap is screw in the bungfoleo

What? :sly:

My guess is that RB Motoring (www.rbmotoring.com) will pick up the slack caused by MotoRex, and will begin legalizing Skylines for American use.

And Mustang-Man... Thats pretty much how any high performance vehicle will be treated anywhere... For the most part.

But there are quite a few aficionados that will keep the car in stock spec, and keep it for years... Not all Americans have mid-life crisis driven impulse car purchases... Some of us do it much younger :evillol:

i dont know how much longer RB would be legalizing skylines though, because the majority of motorex's sales were from r32's. and seeing as how everyone is still caught up in that problem with NO skylines being able to be legalized at this point (not problems with mrex, problems with DOT and NHSTA), RB would only be around til 2014 when we can get r32's no prob. there isnt that big of a customer base for the r33's and r34's.

I was wondering just how long is an RI allowed to hold an imported car?

6 months, but i dont know. check with USDOT.

shiznet so ur saing around 2014 there will not be able to get skys legal holy crap i fell like killing something

im saying that i doubt we will be able to get LEGAL skylines until 2014 when the 25 year rule kicks in on the 89 r32 gtr.

I hate Canada... :lol:

They've been importing Godzillas for the past year and a half... But soon guys, real soon.

only since last august.

89 r32 GT-R's went into production in august of 1989.

Well still... You know what Im saying. :lol:

(Thanks for correcting me by the way)

-Wes

sooo...are there more importers out there importing the skylines into USA? Sorrie, but i havent come up in this place in a VERY long time, just here to see in the towards future to see if Skylines are still "buyable" in the states. lol..

They can be shipped in...but you aint gonna drive them legally just because they are there.

Mx isn't dead yet.....

Another R33 was just approved last week.
