Motorex owner jailed!

R32 and R34 skylines are no longer legal to transport!

http://nicoclub.com/news.shtml

If youre wondering why the R33 is still legal is because the crash testing was only done on this car.

ouch that hurts. i wonder what's the exact reason for the arrest though. i mean, on a 1 mil bail, that's going to be some serious crime?

Seems like he may have burned one too many bridges in his quest to import "legal" Skylines. Sucks...

Wow I was wondering how come they were the "only" legal importer anyway. Oh well the R33 is the best model.

What is going on here with shakedown on high performance cars in America. From cops making videos on how to detect mods in Cali, to this? We might as well have rickshaws.

The R34 gives the driver more protection than a motorcycle. Give me a break

I love the R34 Vspec.

from a performance view the R33 is sometimes even considered worse than the R32, but I love the styling of R33.

Are ya sure bout that, boy? Dem 'Murican Harleys are the best bike in the wurld. No chance dem things could be dangerous. But dem Japanese curs are just a bunch of cheap junk. I've seen the fronts of dem things crumple like Coke cans. What kinda cur crumples like that? It just ain't right.
