They spent a lot of money to determine the complete list of modifications necessary, and how best to do them. If someone else were to use their list without the overhead cost, that person could probably put them out of business. Anyone in that situation would do the same thing. At least if I'm understanding it correctly.

That blue R33 that they've got is sick. All the extra Nismo parts on it and whatnot last time I saw it at the meets in Rockville. The R33 has got to be my most favorite Skyline.

And I was talking with the owner. If I remember correctly, he had a friend grab it for him or something. They're not direct importers of the cars. And I don't think that they've been made street legal either ...

they're not direct importers, but they know an importer, the owner of the dealership loves skylines from what i understand, they do sell them though, thats what the guy in the blue skyline was stating at one of the meets before..im pretty sure they would get them converted to us specs though

They are one of our megameet sponsers I think. He should be bringing that up to a few of our meets.

THEY ARE NOT IMPORTING THEM. NOR DO THEY MAKE THEM LEGAL. THEY RESELL

ONLY COMPANY THAT HAD THE ABILITY TO DO SO LEGALLY WAS MOTOREX. Hell IF it needs to be done, I will get Sean in here to clarify things up..

absolutly noone in the us can legal import and convert an r32 or r34 right now. and abslolutly noone in the us currently legaly imports and converts r33's now even though it is on the approved list. motorex did have a monopoly but if someone was willing to step up and lay down the cash and time they could do all the crash test and modification stuff too. i bet the r32's and 34's that are in america now are going to gain a lot of value because they are impossible to get now.
