    Then whoever owns it, and can implement it is selling it too cheap.

    If i possessed the only tech that would make a LEGAL R33 in the country, there is almost no price tag for that.

    The motors ARE LEGAL though thats the point. All EPA says is SAME YEAR OR NEWER. Now in CALI its much more strict. But until that spreads across the nation, it is what it is.

    just like skylines, state titled ones in NC, FL, SC, GA whatever, dont get a second look from the local authorities, but if the FEDs find you your in trouble.

    Ive owned SIlvias, i knew perfectly well than they were ILLEGAL an drove them anyway. But if for some reason the FEDs pulled me over i was prepared to lose the car on the off chance that happened.

    FEDs arent looking for illegal motors right now, they are looking for skylines. That may change soon enough though

    I wouldn't because to expensive means no one will buy it. Since the Addendum A was released any RI/ICI could team up and develope a working OBDII system if they wanted to. It'd be stupid for a company to develope one and try to corner the market when Joe Smuckatelly down the street can make his own "cost effective" version that would knock the competition out of business.

    Motorex went wrong with many things, one of them was overcharging for compliance work. Taking a $10,000 car and turning it into a $70,000 car causing them to have very little sales and no profit to repay expenses already dished out.
