Skylines are "Contraband" ??!?!??!

[TIGERJC]

were you registered on skyline forums. NO ONE is going around claiming we are above the law and that you can import without fear or consequences. the forum was made to EDUCATE current and future owners on all aspects of owning a skyline.

We are already working on legal action for not just the forum creator but of all tuners and vehicle collectors.

Its not funny that the creator got his crap taken, he was accused for illegally importing several JDM vehicles for people and selling contraband (which he did not do) if you read the article he let them take the skyline because he was about 50/50 in trusting the paperwork that came with his skyline. it was deemed illegal so he sold it.

now that he has nothing more to lose, he is the frontman in fighting to get the laws changed.

There is no reason for me to even browse that forum as I have no intentions of owning a skyline. But I have come across members on that board on different forums I frequent.
I want to hear what legal action you think you guys can take. Basically throwing money down the drain to even try and fight it.

You should help... instead of poke fun, because like I said in my last post, its not just skylines that they can take and it's not about the skyline itself, its about why it's illegal and how much the govt is wasting on these cases.

You can make that argument " You're Next, so please support us". All the other people in this thread cars were legally imported and sold in the states so you can't compare the two. The gov't can go after illegal imported and modded cars (not feasible), but skylines are that wow factor that grab headlines and since the first fast and furious the Feds have been actively going after the illegal importers of that car and others. Ever since the big bust of Motorex I have not understand why you guys keep pushing your luck. All it takes is a DOT officer to spot your car on the highway and know what it is and its over even though it has a state tag.

The only reason our skylines are being taken vs a jdm swapped honda is because we have designated vins... you can easily find us in the system. The swapped honda will not state next to the vin that the car has been modified. Basically we are just easy targets.

The fact of the matter is @ least we are trying to change things. The reason it failed in the past is because there was no frontman willing to take all the heat and no financial backing.

This time we have both.

I'm not telling you to help so that we won't lose our skylines, I'm telling you help stop the wasting of our money for the government to do this kind of thing. There is NO justification behind the vehicle/parts importation laws right now that should warrant the use of tax dollars, in an already in debt country, for taking property from individual.

If your going to help, it would be appreciated. But saying that no one should care is the wrong idea.

I'm not telling you this because I'm 'scared' they will take my car. I knew what i was getting into and I have all the documentation I need. if they deem it contraband then so be it. I got what I wanted... whats fucked up is that the govt. is taking it with no justification... and they used our money to do it.

As for what legal action is being taken right now, that is on Steve. He is the head for this and there are several plans that are underway that we will reveal as the time comes, we are all laying low and concentrating on the task at hand. If we get this done though, you'll be thanking the handful of people that got shit done for the rest of you. While you ridiculed us.
