Default Skyline revolution?

http://www.skylinerevolution.com/

If anyone wants to import a skyline now, it seems these people may have found a way. Their prices dont seem too bad either.

the only thing is, maybe I didnt quite understand based on their ebay auction

it seems they fully disassemble the car? and you have to put it together? also, it has to be registered as a kit car..anyone know the details of that? It'd be pretty damn sweet getting an r34gtr for under 50k...but not if I have to put the whole damn car togetehr!

ugh, this whole getting the Skyline in the US with no problems is really confusing... If its really that easy, then why isn't there more shops or people doing this years ago. Why did motorex spend thousands of dollars testing, crashing, and getting the Skyline to pass emmissions, then to just bring them in and assemble the car as a Kit Car.

I been following up on the whole skyline importing stuff back in 02 and bringing in the skyline as a kit car is much more complex than what these guys say it is to be. I don't know, I'd still love to get my R32 thou, which will happen someway hehe

funny, but these guys are sayin they can get em and have them converted for less than 50k

and the novelty/show factor itself may be worth the cost of admission. not to mention the ability to mod (for insane jdm price tags mind you)

There is a company here in Boise that sells them. Idahospeed.com is their website.

well. maybe that is part of the appeal, the rarity of them. and alot of people care, it is a highly sought after car, afterall.

Motorex (www.skylinegtr.com) have been importing Skylines for years (legally, too).
