Bill Gates Grey Market Porsche sat in an Oakland port DOT warehouse for close to ten years before he got it out. He paid a huge amount of cash to finally get it in the states. I know all about that car. Dude I arranged the importation of a Euro spec E30 M3 for my friend back in the lates 80's. I am not a stranger to Grey market cars or the whole scene. Fact is what Ray said above is true. The Kaizo cars are getting nailed because the feds have the records of all the customers. Fact is its not worth the hassle to own one of these cars at this time, unless your only garaging it and tracking it. Fact is this thread needs to die now, because all you guys are doing is rehashing this shit.

Man w/ CTSV & a Car Seat

Well the shitty part is...most folks who went thru Kaizo thats getting messed with are Military folks who cashed out $15k or so just to get their car stateside. Thats just to get the chassis changed over to a Kaizo body. Thats not including the cost of the car themselves. So imagine how it would be when the gov comes knocking on your door saying you gotta pay so and so amount to get it out of the country, get it crushed or face daily fine of thousands of dollars after you dropped $15k to get it here.

exactly, illegal to import it so technically illegal to have here. It is a bunch of b/s seeing how messed up the laws are. They counter each other so damn much. Idk why you say this thread needs to die but then post in it again, hell this thread has more value then "look how my new wheels look" or any other thread on here so whats wrong with it. Yeah Bill Gates made the show or display law happen I know, but he also had to do epa work on the car. Not saying it doesnt cost a small fortune but with a lot of people together it might be easier or atleast help soften the blow of the cost of lawyers and such. It is a pretty weak attempt to do something about thee car now ince r32's are around only 7 years away from the 25 year law. As far as Kaizo, if he had not sold cars with drivetrains then he might not be in as much hassle as he is in now. That was a big deal with it so far, they are trying to connect him selling them with drivetrains or contracting it out... |

1. I am fully aware of the EPA stuff Bill Gates had to go through. In fact I was talking more about that money wise than the show or display law. Both wound up costing him a princely sum. 2. We have actually been done the road of trying to legalize engines in our community. The result? More expensive than people are actually willing to pay. 3. I am not saying that the owners of Skylines might not be able to get together and mount a battle. The fact is though, like Ixfxi aka Mike has already said, the cake has been had and eaten already too. AKA MotoRex. Fact is the government is more against your position now than ever before. The reality is you guys are fighting a very uphill battle that will cost all of you a lot of your own money. I seriously doubt when the numbers start rolling to make it happen many will be willing to pay. You may own a vintage Skyline but I highly doubt any of you are millionaires or more. Given all of the above and the fact that Nissan offers new cars that are in everyway as nice or nicer? It just makes no sense. Oh and yes I could have afforded to buy a Skyline and chose not too. I have spent more than it would have cost me to buy one in modifying 240's over the years. Oh and why am I keeping on with this thread even though I think it should die. Because you will not just let it done and accept the reality of the situation. Since the death of MotoRex because they started cutting corners and passing up the requirements? (because Hiro was more interested in just getting cash in his pocket) It has just become much harder to bring the cars or any non U.S. market cars in. Kaizo has now made it even worse not better. Unless you are independently wealthy its a waste of time and money. Reality check! Oh and if you are Independently wealthy you probably would like to buy many other cars beside an old Skyline. Aka Ferrari's, Porsches, Lambo's, etc....

to think, you can spend ALL THAT MONEY on trying to change the legal system..........
...... or you can spend that money with some badass fabricator, make a tube-chassis replica thats lighter, stronger, and better than OE. then just slap on the dash, interior, drivetrain components, custom lights that are legal, and register a kit car of a GTR. good idea if you dont feel like fucking around with " the system " |

Ooops, my sarcasm font didn't work... Clearly I was joking. How can you be racist against a CAR? Idiota... ...Stupid black cars, so lazy and slow, drinking up all the gas and not giving anything back to society. Why don't they come here legally and get good chauffering jobs like all the blue cars... ...Look at that yellow car, I bet it doesn't even have its papers. That's why gas is so high I bet. Stupid cars sneaking over the boarder. |

I KNOW! gee imagine, it must be SO hard to understand that cars are actually engineered to operate a certain way and that the government (and manufacturers) actually conduct tests and studies, with factual data, to acquire concise information! Who would know that such technology exists?

I am lucky I started out with Datsun 510's and then Moved to 240Z's. The 510 being the first sports sedan. 69 2 door(yes they were sedans, coupes were only sold in Japan and had more of a slope to the C pillar). I then moved on to 240Z's the first full sports car I was to drive. I want to put together another Z. I have been building and playing with 240sx's for years now. Fact is I love the R32 GTR as well. Though I am more attached to GC110's GC10's and 240Z's. In that sense. I would like a R32GTR but would not pay outlandish sums to run it on the street. This is the jixt of my whole discussion here. Its way to expensive in my eyes to bother at this point. The money one would spend to do it? They could buy a R35 or a C6 or even something else. Thats just how I feel about it. Oh and personally I would not drive a RHD car on any American roads because its not designed for LHD roads and there are blind spots. I also do not want to here the but ...blah blah excuses about that. Its a documented fact and I do not like it.

oh I love the z chassis up to the z31's. I want nothing more then a nicely restored 2 door 510. Maybe one day when I have the time I will do it since I am in that part of the business. As far as the 32 I have it isn't registered, and it sucks to not be able to easily drive it on the street. Worthless imo but I am stuck with a restored from the ground up r32 then all this b/s has came about and I have not yet even got it together. Still a bare bones shell That I have re-did the undercarriage and body along with suspension, etc, etc. We both are on the same page, but I am more dear since I am an owner I suppose. I have only 17k invested and should be somewhere around 5-600 wheel but still very nice on the outside too. I have always gotten good deals and busted my ass to make them nice so there is more blood, sweat, and tears along with appreciation compared to those who buy rather then build. That is why I along with others are trying to do something about it, and telling others about the b/s regulations we have. |

Well this stuff is real...the feds have visited a few shops in the San Diego area already and have even seized a few cars! I dont know what the outcome will be, but if you have received one of those letters please contact me via PM. They claim that I am a victim and that they are just doing there jobs, but they took a Honda hatch from us anyways cause the transmission ID sticker was not on it. For those that are interested I will try and keep you posted.

Well, for those of you that are interested...the feds did indeed seize some vehicles already and the rest received letters like the one in this thread! There is a meeting today with a dozen or so people to see what can be done about this situation. I believe they are trying to build a case agains Kaizo. I will keep you posted as things progress.
Thanks |

anything is possible with the right amount of money. everyone has their price. i'm more worried that they're gonna come knocking on my door when i have a gemballa porsche, but even then, i'd have the money to pay them to walk away.
oh and for the guy who said some thing about vin diesel.... did he ever tell you he's really gay, cause his girlfriend told me and my producer friend that when he was banging her..... |
