I thought this would be a nice treat for the Skyline junkies.

lmao, I'm really not a post troll type of guy, I dont catch feelings off of what someone else posts. I respect people's opinions but facts are facts, and I figure if an issue can't be resolved sensibly, then it's probably not worth even talking about further.

Gentlemen, It's all good. Just a little conversation and nothing to get upset about.
The only federally legal Skylines are those with a bond release. Others are gray market. Nothing can change that from fact. Federal bond release is completely different than getting a state-issued registration. Can you get away with it like these guys? Sure. Happens all the time and some of those who have done it in the past have been shut down. Of course, others just pop back up.
The difference between a car here in the US and a Skyline is that the US car has already met federal crash-test requirements when they were new and that's all they needed. Skylines need to be modified for proper 5mph bumpers, safety glass, seat belts, etc. Without these modifications they cannot receive a bond release. R32's and R34's are not eligible for conversion to receive a bond release at all.
At NICO, we welcome all Skyline owners and enthusiasts regardless of whether the car is gray market or not. We simply want people looking to purchase a Skyline to be aware of the facts so they know what they are getting into with purchasing or importing a Skyline.

TMS and I already did a thread on this. I personally looked at one of their cars. In the DOT's eyes, you wont get any negative feedback from them. However this wont last long, and you may have more problems. I did some searching and calling about these guys.
