You're right - I have no idea what I'm talking about...
In a nutshell.......Originally Posted by Cynical 1
Motorex was the only legal importer of the Skyline. Everything was kosher until the federal agents realized Motorex was using the crash test data they proved from the R33 and applied it to all models. The problem with this is each model is completely different. When asked about the crash data, they reported "like similarities" between the three models they were importing. This was proven wrong by Nissan officials and shit hit the fan from there. Motorex lost their import/export licence and all Skylines were labeled as illegal vehicles. Several people with R33s griped enough to allow the R33 to remain legal so long as it was a vehicle imported from Motorex and was a specific model they crashed to provide the data necessary for importation.
I remember reading about this not long ago but can't remember exactly where I read it. I think it was on the U.S. Skyline Owners forum.
EDIT: Here is some information to read up on that will tell you more.
