 not unfamilar with letters like that. but the thing that sucks is that they seize it then auction it off for export only and people will go there and buy your car. I saw one of my seized cars that was re brought to the US. While i was at a show last week it was seized in 2005 and brought in agian the owner in california who bought it from customs the first time now it is a drift car and his daily. Bought the thing from bishop bros manheim auto auctions

I think the letter is fake. Looks like it was done using Mircrosoft Publisher. I would call the number using a pay phone and see who and how they anserw the call. i would google the name also. I would not give any information till you know it's a official letter.

Oh it's real, I know the guy who got that letter as well as the most of the others. There's not really any news to the situation but it's being handled. There are still a handful of Kaizo owners out there that have not been contacted by ICE or the DOJ. Super-under-the-radar guys

I dont get why you can't just move the vins from a clean titled 240 onto a skyline chassisAnywhere but california, these cops don't check vins unless car is stolen If your name is on title of 240, all in the clear Why can't i do that?

probably because the registration will say Nissan 240sx while the car has Skyline badges. Even if you removed all the badges, i'm pretty sure that most cops have enough experience to tell the difference between several cars. the 240 is not a rare car.

Thats because its not a big deal to them. They don't care. Its not a major issue with them. Why? Because unlike our gov't they focus on real crimes and issues. Not petty s*** like having a car. My question is, how the F**K does a Jeep Wrangler pass crash testing and a Skyline can't?????? Or how about a GEO Metro? Produced in the same era as the R32 and R33. BS. They nothing better to do, but to control and regulate wait people can and can't have. Instead of doing their job and taking care of bigger issues!

It's not that the Skyline CAN'T pass, its that they have not tested it. The car was never imported into the US, therefore the money to test it was never spent by Nissan and never will be.
Just like a HID retrofit, it is always illegal unless it can be tested by the DOT.Regulations suck a fatty

Because if you do get caught doing that, you are looking at possible jail time. Is it really worth it?

I am a Skyline tuner . I have extensive experience with tuning Skylines to pass the emissions IM240 test to be legal in the country here.Is this issue a emissions issue? or is it a crash test / compliance issue? IF this is a emissions issue then I can help with passing the IM240 test. We use the same emissions testing that is used in California called the IM240 emissions test. I can tune cars to pass this test without issues and willing to fly to the US to help you guys out if its needed. If you guys need some help then email me on anthonye@skylinecentral.org - or pm me on this forum and i will be able to help. If this is true then it really sucks. I would be willing to help to fix this issue if it is needed. To me this kind of sounds like complete bulls***. For them to approve and register a car they would know if the car is approved for registration in the country before registering it. If this is true then i will be willing to help. Cheers

My dream car is a Skyline Here's the real question: Why does the government spend so much time trying to keep these out of the country? They want to tax everything, and they would make CONSIDERABLE revenue when these cars are imported, fabbed to pass crash specs, and tuned/fabbed to pass smog. It has been proven that both of these requirements can be met given the opportunity, but the federal government doesn't seem to acknowledge any of it. Can anyone help me understand big brother on this one? I'm only 17 so hopefully before I get old enough to afford one, they'll come to their senses...
