You guys have too see this.

I dont get it. Looks like a bunch of honda civic guys got togther and they are buying junk skylines and importing them.

Looks like a ton of bs to me.

I believe they may be legit. It seems they are trying to avoid certain DOT requirements when the vehicle reaches U.S. Customs. However, you may only be able to register the Skyline as a kit car. I would make a thread about it at these forums if your serious; http://forums.skylinesdownunder.co.nz/forumdisplay.php?forumid=37

If they are legit, this is pretty cool. I'd like to buy a rhd glass top CRX as a project car. Or an Evo 6 or R32 Skyline. :buttrock

there are just so many scams out there today, i wouldnt trust these guys. they are depeding on the 2 fast 2 gay market to make any money.

you might think your buying a skyline but you get a box of fragmented peices these guys pick off the street when one gets totalled in japan.

im just like all of you guys, i too foam at the mouth when i think of a lightwieght twinturbo power house with 4wd.


I have always been curious if you want a car like a skyline why doesnt anyone just buy a car add 4wd conversion and drop in a tank of a motor. probably would be cheaper then buying a skyline.

This says it all... from the "Front Page" of the website:

"THESE CARS ARE SOLD FOR OFF ROAD USE"

That is simply a disclaimer to protect their ass from the DOT/DEP. Anyone who has researched importing JDM cars knows that without DOT/DEP certification the vehicle is not street legal without modifications, hence off-road status.

Sales rep lives in Green Bay, and cars/parts are in Anacortes, WA. I work in Anacortes, and have never heard of this company, or a place with cars like this. Anacortes is a small fishing town, and everyone who lives there knows everything going on. A real Peyton Place.
I'll ask around and see what I can find out.

i'd like to buy one for a track car, but still to pricey, maybe i'd pay 8k for a engine car combo but never 8k for shell with no suspension anyways, then another 3k for the motor...
