QFT, so what happens next? Do the owners get a notice or something? How does this illegal import/export business go down?s14tan wrote:I vote that ya'll part them out... The car is ''illegal'' as a whole car, not in pieces.
Come to canada! You can buy a r32 as easily as a 240sx.thefro526 wrote:Is your crushing facility on site? or do the cars get moved to the crusher? If they do get moved... umm ... yeah can I get a date and a route and some times. I mean like seriously who's gonna miss one car? J/k but seriously do they crush the car in it's entirety? Because if not couldn't you just ask your boss if you can have some of the parts and send the shell to the crusher? Or just pay the crusher dude off... *Disclaimer* In no way shape or form do I condone any sort of illegal activities or participate in any illegal activites. *End Disclaimer*
It seems like your facility could made massive amounts of cash by parting the cars out. I mean if I was your boss then I'd hire a mechanic just to part cars out like that and sell what was sellable to the JDM fiends in this country. Regardless crushed cars make me sad Or just procure a GTR and stuff it in a barn for twenty more years and you can bust it out as a historic car and drive it on the streets. Thats what I was thinking of doing with an R32 in a few years.
This is the first thing that popped out at me. That's AWD drive right? Towing it like that probably destroyed the transfer case. LOLBrianHarte wrote:Are you aware of some of the VERY interesting parts on those cars?
did you tow the GTR like that?2 wheels up and 2 down?
DOH
Damn 100% exactly right. They pose way f*cking more danger than some few cars imported. They are not licensed, schooled, and legal to work here, but there's millions of them. F*ck the laws and the DOT and all other idiots. It's the stupid USDM - if they allowed all the good and nice cars here, forget all the crap (ford, mercury, GM, Chrysler etc etc.). I was just thinking the same thing dude.idahotuner wrote:so they are harder on car that get into the country illegally then people that get in illegally. why dont they crush the people huh. they cost our country alot more then those cars.
No. The car rolls in neutral, even if it's AWD, doesn't it? If it was an automatic, then different story.hpmachine wrote:This is the first thing that popped out at me. That's AWD drive right? Towing it like that probably destroyed the transfer case. LOL
If you tow an AWD car with two wheels spinning and two strapped stationary you will destroy the center differential or transfer case. Subarus that are towed with only two wheels of the ground are toast after a few miles.kornaz wrote:No. The car rolls in neutral, even if it's AWD, doesn't it?

I'm an attorney, just happened to be a member of the OK Bar Assoc., I'll volunteer even though it will be a trek from the UK! It would be worth it to save those beauties!inertiadrft wrote: All he really needs is a good amount of money, a good attorney, and a real good F*cken reason...
Yeah I've got an Evo. It's one of the first things you learn about the car. Don't let some jackass from AAA tow it behind his pickup truck. It's a good thing to know just in case...keirnna wrote:If you tow an AWD car with two wheels spinning and two strapped stationary you will destroy the center differential or transfer case.

This is just another example of the government needing to get out of our lives. Big ****ing government breads these issues. Al Gore and liberals are to blame. Ron Paul wouldn't restrict what cars come into the country. Let the market forces decide. What is a shame is that these fools could have removed the power train from the chassis and been legit. Who tries to sneak a whole drivable car through customs?
DO IT!ADF932 wrote:I would kill for that car.
