I would like to set some things straight about NICO and our Skyline community.

I have talked to other people outside of the forums who are non-members of NICO, but hear other stories about how we "don't have the right information" concearning Skyline importation.

While we may not know exactly everything, we know a great deal more than most other forums.

I also want to stress that we are in no way against owning a grey market/illegal Skyline, but we just want to make sure that people who are contemplating buying a car like the Skyline are aware of any/all obsticles that may bring themselves to light.

It seems that we always get threads asking if such and such is a legal way to bring in a Skyline from outside the U.S. And no matter how much we try to reason with people, it seems that they know all the answers, even though, they were the ones asking the questions.

We encourage people to have their voices heard on the current legislation preventing the legal importation of Skylines and try to get things changed. Masses can make a differences, but trying to circumvent laws will only hinder our progress.

Let it be known that, as of right now, it's pretty much impossible to get a legally imported Skyline into the U.S. While the 1996-1998 R33 is on the list of eligible cars for importation, there is still the hang-up of the OBD II system/ECU/engine.

For what it's worth, I feel for you guys there in the U.S., I really do. But the more you try to do things the wrong way, the harder it will be to get things done the right way in the future.

Also, please be sure to read the following article about Skyline importation.

Thanks for reading,Gold Digger.
