    There is a importer who brought in several shipments of Skylines, he did not do a very good job on the registration and it caught the eye of Customs which in turn caused HLS to investigate. HLS has sofar confescated a handful of the cars that were imported by him and are continuing to track the rest.

    It's by no means a nationwide crack down on Skylines in general, it's as of right now just the ones that he brought in.

    Unless someone else has more information on this which would be helpful. I don't have any kind of direct contacts with HLS or Customs to get this info so what I have posted above is what I have read from a decent amount of web sources.

    My recommendation is if they come knocking on your door, have your car well hidden and say it was stolen.

    right now there is no R32 or R34's legal to drive on the streets in the US. all of them are being taken up. and you dont want to say it was stolen without a police report... that would would get you into more trouble than just having the car.

    a guy in Florida real name larry aka "skyline king" and a guy in California "franz" were supposidly using their own personal boats, containers, and docks to import Japanese cars themselves to bypass using shipping companies. what they didnt realize is that they were illegally bypassing the us customs importation inspection. so basically their cars are basically in this country illegally.
