skyline question

[hondagirl17]

Thanks! That's what I was wondering. I'll let him know what you guys have suggested. Right now he's just looking into it all to see what it will take..

Honestly if he has the money tell him to go with an STi or Evo... He would be happier.

This is what I was thinking well reading the hole thread.

Look it comes down to, even people with virtually unlimited money to spend CANT get thiers legalized. If you have enough money to spend 80-100k on a legalized skyline, you may as well buy a real exotic.

Or just move to fucking japan and buy a skyline over there dirt cheap... and sleep with as many asian women as possible.

LoL... yeah I talked to him about getting a STI and he's thinking about that as well. Do you know if STI's come with leather interior?

[Flowcus]

Nope they come with pimp shit momo interior.... and I mean pimp. If he wants leather tell him to get an Audi or something. I hate my leather interior... I want racing seats and to have my rears recovered in the same fabric as the racing seats.

[hondagirl17]

ok.. so what would be the advantage of getting an STI over a WRX? I'm sure you could help me out on this one kirk

[PSiedTSi]

227hp to 300hp 2.0liter to 2.5liter

[Flowcus]

5speed to 6speed... break upgrade... ultra light rims... better suspension... center differential control... lots of engine upgrades including .5 more litres... lots of stuff.

cant forget the pimp key!!

but yeah STis come with a wheel tire combo, brembo brakes(top of the line), big ass wing name it.

[legacy-user-33]

Bigger hood scoop, HID lights, STI racing seats, blue carpet, intercooler sprayer, adjustable headlights, STI exhaust.

tell him good luck on the car shopping from the friendly members of FARGOSTREET

If he wants to buy a skyline that did NOT come from Motorex, he will NOT be able to get a VIN and title from the DMV without Motorex legalizing it. Period, end of story.

Legalized Skylines are anywhere from $45k - $100K. The more common one is the R33 (easier to legalize). My friend has 3 of them for sale, all legalized and legit. They're all located in Seattle, at his house.

Everything else you read in this thread is somewhere between partially true and completely wrong.

Best of luck

I wish... I've frustrated the heck out of myself for 2 years trying to find the loophole that everyone else is looking for. Motorex is basically out of business, they own the intellectual rights to converting a car (DOT and EPA) and its not possible to "reverse engineer" one to find out all the pieces that need to change. Plus, you'll need to figure out all the connections and paperwork the fed gov't requires. It sucks, I wish it was easier for everyone else, but its not.

A couple times a month there's someone on the various skyline boards claiming to have the "in" and the backdoor, but no one has come through.

Sean Morris (tyndago on the boards) use to work at Motorex, and is the most outspoken person on the topic. From what I've gathered he's been trying for 2 years to get RBMotoring up on their own legs, but they're still not there. In the meantime VIPImports has 3 of them, starting at the mid-$40's I believe.

Some talk about getting it under a "show car" permit which has virtually no miles a year you can drive it. But if you get caught, you're screwed. If I were going to break the law to make it happen, I would just buy a totalled Nissan of some kind and start swapping VIN numbers...

At the end of the day, about all a person can legally do is go out and buy one.

It really sucks
