They have banned the importing of R34 skylines because of this. They havent done anything to R33's yet, so at least thats a good thing. The owner supposidly brought skylines and didnt install the necessary changes for dot approval and epa regulations; ie side door beams, air bags and bumper reinforcements. Kinda scary knowing your car might not have these things. Yeah, XS engineering is a awesome shop.

There is quite a difference between charged and convicted. We will see how this unfolds.

The fraud entail's Motorex's importation of skylines in pieces rather than a whole car and rewelding them together before sale...

RB26DETT. Respect. The VQ is a good engine, but nothing like the RB. Talk about potential...

skylines look fine...IMO they look like the 03 maxima w/ a much better rear end, iand i think the 03 maximas look pretty hawt. oh, and you can have like 400whp w/ minimal mods...not to mention stock block can take 900whp...OH and its awd....OH and it weighs the same as our car....OH and its SUPER FAST JDM LEET PIMPED 2F2F

Ummm R34 GT Skyline does not look like sh&t at all...that has to one of the sexiest cars out there but I prefer the Z body styling over skyline for sure.

I thought part of the issue was that they were supposed to crash test "X" many R34, R33, etc chassis's before they were allowed to import the cars, but they never crash tested any of the higher/late model skylines and thus were in violation of the DOT import regulations.
