Unless the cars are over 25 years old they are illegal, illegal, illegal

The only way those cars are legal is if they were imported and approved by MotorEx back in the day before said company went under.

Might be interesting to e-mail Next Level Motorsports and see what the deal is on those GT-Rs.


Oh, and if anyone pays $135,000 dollars for an R34 V-Spec II Nur...you are OUT OF YOUR MIND!!

I doubt this company has a bunch of MotorEx skylines laying around. Hell, they probably don't have them in the US and will charge the purchaser an importation fee.

No Federal Bond, no legality.

The car they supposedly have.

And a conspicuously kind of sort of exact same can here in Japan.

Want to pick it up? It's here.

Exactly how is it "Federally legal; USA compliant, DOT and EPA approved" when it isn't even in the states? :rolleyes:

Yeah. email sent.

How exactly do you plan to sell a car you don't have?

I look forward to his explanation, but I suspect I shall get none.

Whoops! Looks like the S15 is a lie too. Goshers!
The one they say they have.

Must be a clone of this one.
http://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/spread/g ... 17002.html

And another lie.
"theirs" Notice the poorly blacked out sign.

Wonder what it says? Just look at the real owner's sale. :facepalm:

These are two different cars but look around. They are parked in the same spot.

They both actually are for sale here.

Fail.

Way to go, Next Level Motors. What a bunch of pillow-biting ricer twinks.

p.s. The "Domains By Proxy" registration is a clear indicator of a shady business. Be a man and put your information out there if you have nothing to hide.

Next Level even offered one guy to import an R34 GT-R into California, and register it in California.

California is about as difficult of a place as you can ever hope to register a car. Every single car like this is investigated, smogged, refeered, DMV'd. Next Level has a better chance of landing a GT-R on the moon than getting California registration.

Next Level has nothing to lose, the customer has everything to lose.

The best, least expensive way is to wait. If you can't wait, you have to pay.

US Spec's did actually import a couple cars. The guy there used to work for JK. JK did the inital work for Motorex, but never actually certified a car until after Motorex went away.

And actually, I did a few cars though G and K Automotive here in SoCal. JK used G & K for the EPA, and ARB on the Skyline GT-R.

Its normally though, too complicated to explain to most people.

Here is an R33 on the FTP dyno, undergoing testing at G&K.

yeah definantly hard to explain to most people i get people telling me all the time that since my car isnt motorexed its not legal and once it gets to that point of the conversation i just tell them to do there own research because im not trying to explain this whole story to you lol.

to be honest i was a little sceptical at first when i got mine from us specs untill i looed further into it and verified the vin through nhtsa and saw the paperwork then i was golden and super pumped!

If you don't want to do the explanation, just say it came though Motorex. In a round about way, it did. US Specs would have never done it, unless Motorex did it first. US Spec didn't do their own crash testing, they used Motorex's data though JK.

^ Good point.

The more I think about it, the more I think I'd just hate the hassles... As much as I'd like to have an R32, I simply couldn't deal with all the pinheads telling ME everything they think they know about my car... Ugh.

Sean's been dealing with it for years - I'm not as patient as he is. :)

I can sympathise with you guys, There is a lot of hatred in the skyline community. there are several other R34s in my area, and two of them refuse to speak to me, and the other doesn't believe I exist. :) and eveyone else that i talk to spends most of their time telling me how my car should look. and what mods would be best, and how if they had one it'd have a 40 foot wing and underglow. I wish it would stop but it's been 6 years, and I don't think it ever will. it;d be nice to chill with some skyline owners who don't want to be the only one with a skyline.

Listen, if you own what only a few have and think that people are intrusive to make their comments about your car and do not want a lot of gawking or queston asking, sell the car. Some people have stupid questions but you dont have to be a jerk back, let them know thats not something you would do to your car and why. The only way to push out ignorance is by educating. Don't be a jerk to people or especially the youngsters who are envious of you. Encourage them and teach them that with a good work ethic and proper education they too can earn enough money to purchase one of their own. Another way to aquire one of these cars is to join the military and possibly get stationed in Japan.

Not trying to be too big of a d!ck, but what does "or join the military" have to do with anything. You use it as the opposite to "good work ethic and proper education they too can earn enough money to purchase one". I'm in the military, and I bought an R33 GTR in cash. I have plenty of buddies here that paid in full on S15s, Supras, etc. just seems a little miplaced, considering there are several members here that are military.
