haha alright believe what you want doesn't bother me

apparently this one does :lol then again, a lawyer might actually be able to fandangle this thing into legality. I'd still like to see it with a legit plate tho.

look like R34 owners down south is not having much fun these days

police/or whatever they call it down there are hunting down all R34 skylines that are imported by Kaizo. I think like 2 just got caught a few days ago. too bad..

check out this blog for all the info:

It is the real one.
You guys need to look at the details of the car. Just because they are all silver, it dont mean that its the conversion one.

This one has nismo wheels, widebody front fenders, bumper, and a vented CF hood that is painted. Theres only one R34 that looks like this. Oh yea, and it has the $20,000 DOT SAE approved headlights lool

38k for this R32-R34 Skyline GTR Conversion Car

same shit happened to all the whatchamacallit cars... motorex or sth

loks like the local r32.4 conversion is getting some attention....

NOT the same shit. Yes Motorex's owner Hiro went to jail and the company was shut down however US DOT has determined all Motorex cars are 100% legal in the US and can not be touched.

The only cars being sezied are Kaizo cars that were imported as shells and drivetrains then registered as "kit cars."

That guy wants 38 grand for a car from 1989???

so some idiot paid $20,000 for headlights? :haha:

I thought it was determined that MotorEx hadn't done shit to the cars, just brought them in, sat them in the shop for a month, and then sold them without having done anything.

I love the blog beaking the local R32.4, saying it's all show and no go. Cause R32's are soooo slow after all :rolleyes:

This thread is funny as hell, shelling out $20,000 for HL's is even funnier!

I thought only the R33's were legal since they were the only ones that had crash testing done?

Underscore: That is essentially true. Although some cars did have the proper modifications done to make them legal. In the end Motorex (Hiro) began cutting corners and ran into financial troubles.

Ajax: Technically yes but Motorex cars are grandfathered in the US. Because owners paid Motorex to convert their vehicles and make them legal (even though the conversions were largely not done correctly) most were granted exception by the DOT and legally own their R32/R33/R34 in the US.

Motorex cars are worth much more than gray market cars (CDN cars, lax laws in states like Florida/Utah) because they are completely legal

I have always been interested in the fall of Motorex. Tydango on freshalloy.com (owner of GTR blog spot) has been a wealth of info because he worked at Motorex and then started RB Motoring specializing in Skyines. You can learn a lot more on subjectin the Skyline section on freshalloy.com At one time he was considering making a movie about all this!

Btw I had a ride in a motorex R34 GTR in Vancouver way back in the day. Probably 7 yrs ago now. At the time it was Bayside blue, Cwest kit, bronze Advan Model 5 19x10 all around owned by a GarageSPL shop owner in Seattle. It is now full Do Luck sponsored and used to tour around HIN in the US. So sick. Riding shotgun down Robson in that was fun lol

Right, I think that was part of what was done by ME, the guy only got the 33 tested and then somehow used those results for the 32 and 34
