Well let me tell you this. Had the RCMP and local police contact me about things online and was gladly to show proof/documents of cars delivered. Who is the real person to worry about? Sean Morris the guy who is all looking out for you all, ha he is the one that is trying to prevent cars from being imported by saying it can’t be done (
zer...30214). Look at the recent post on his website. Maybe he would be more effective trying to help people who have the cars already imported instead of tell the Government who the owners are so there car gets seized, leave the people alone if they get the car in - so be it, they’re enjoying their right to spend their hard earned money the way they see fit. What you can't think for yourself? Ask yourself why is Drift Tuner's website still up after all this debate online and what about Kaizo industries (Daryl an ex-cop at that) a well known liked company got shut down. Think about it. We do things legaly at DT, simple as that. Sean always talk about the OBDII system, lol dose the Motorex cars have them? No! So why do they not violate the Clean Air Act? It’s not about emissions.
Read my post here that I posted on Sean's website100% absolutely correct! You cannot register a JDM in Canada without the Form 1 and export/import documents and you can’t get a notarized Form 1 without the customs inspection which is done at the time the vehicle hits port in Canada and done before the car is released to us for which this inspection includes matching the export documentation issued by the Japanese Government as a preventative measure to crack down on stolen vehicles with the manufacture label and checking the VIN plate and firewall. Once the car has been inspected and a Form 1 is issued then that’s when our broker (A & A custom Brokers) clears the car by paying the taxes and inspection cost along with other fees then in return our broker bills us then we book the car for shipping to the customer via Searail. You cannot fake the export documentation, if you have ever seen one it’s as advanced as our money with watermarks which can’t be reproduced, this is issued by the Japanese Government. You can’t fake the inspection, at the time the vehicle is being inspected it’s done where there is no public access to the vehicle in fact it’s not considered or deemed a Canadian vehicle until after the inspection has passed. Also you can’t fake a “numbered” notarized Form 1 issued by Transport Canada which this form is recorded with the Canadian Government by its form number for purpose of Canadian import statistics, this form is needed to present to your local MTO office to register the car to get the title and plates. Also yes it is possible to import a newer than 15 year car into Canada and most people including most importers/import companies don’t know that. What makes us/Drift Tuners different is we do a lot of research “not online, and not with misleading forums” but with Transport Canada directly by phone and we challenge Transport Canada, keyword is “Rule” not “Law”. You will notice when dealing with Transport Canada they never refer to their policies as law but as rule.
Continued…The 15 year rule and the U.S. 25 year rule is a joke and has nothing to do with public safety, it’s simply economics and corporate greed and as long as you recognize and use common sense that newer vehicles are proven to be more safe then 15 year old or 25 year old vehicles not just for the public but for emissions, come on, we in North America are not mass producing old auto technology in 2009, of course not. It’s clearly common sense that newer cars should be imported not older ones if public safety was really the truth behind the Federal Government’s policies. As long as you recognize the politics behind Transport Canada’s policies you have good fire power to challenge that policy, policies are made to be changed and/or make exceptions of, that’s why they’re called policies. Also Sean there is a law in the U.S. where you can get an attorney to file under consumer rights to bring any year or make of vehicle into the U.S. from any Country legally without the need of meeting the NHTSA standards, it’s not that you have to prove the car safe it’s that the Government has to prove it’s not. Do some research on that. What is needed is to get a non-profit organization started to petition the U.S. Government on the import regulations. Let the individual States determine what can be on their roads and get the American Feds off their high horse. If the Government was interested in getting real educated stats then take a look at Florida vs California how much more are the emission levels in Florida vs California along with the road safety stats with RHD cars? The fact is Japan have higher emission standards than any other Country brining to my point that having an R34 with the RB motor in the state California is not really in violation of the Clean air Act, it’s a farce, the EPA deliberately does not include the engine code in the emissions software, why? Because doing that would go against there own policy of keeping the auto market local which includes parts and motors, has nothing to do with emissions. The OBDII requirement is NOT need for emission purposes, how can I say that?? Simple, my imported R32 with the RB motor puts out less emissions then my local purchased 2003 350z, tested and proven on the Ontario emissions sheet. So yes the RB motor is not an emission issue at all people, it’s simply a scam of your Government for deliberately leaving the RB engine code out of the emissions software to prevent a foreign market, only to benefit the auto makers. Therefore the standards/policies of the EPA are nothing but the pockets of the auto makers.
