Id like it better with the wing that he has in his parts pile. just think it would look cooler and not so flat

 

Do it. It'll be the most rewarding $8,000 you'll ever spend in Vegas.

I personally like the looks of the R34 over the other ones, including the new R35. A buddy of mine has the R35 and it looks a little too big - very nice power band though

 

Hey Jeremy... here's a good place to spend your $8000.

Finish your RS dude. Drive that for a while. If you want a GTR talk to Aaron about tracking one down for you.

I could use the wheels and tires if they'll fit on my wagon.... if you want my JDM v7 wheels that is... haaaaa.

First, let me introduce myself. I am a detective with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. I work a multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency vehicle theft task force in Los Angeles County called TRAP. I picked up the criminal investigation against Motorex and Hiroaki Nanahoshi a little over two weeks ago. The case started in 2005 when someone from Motorex reported the theft of (5) Skylines from their shop. That investigation was originally handled out of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Compton Station.

Since then, Hiro and an accomplice had been arrested on some other charges. That criminal case is being handled by detectives from Compton Sheriff’s Station. The case I am handling centers on fraud committed by Motorex as a corporation, and by Hiro, it’s president.

Motorex was a Registered Importer of Nissan Skylines, authorized by NHTSA/DOT to do so after certain testing and other requirements were met. Motorex imported these cars for many servicemen, and also for sale to customers in the United States. One of the requirements was that Motorex had to perform modifications and upgrades to these vehicles before NHTSA would allow them to be released to the general public.

I served a search warrant approximately two weeks ago at Motorex’s now abandoned shop. The only Skyline left there was one that had been crashed, and stripped. I seized numerous items of paperwork, many identifying vehicles and owners.

In these two weeks, I have learned many things. I have examined several Skylines, and I have talked to many people. There are several key points which I wish to make with the Skyline community here.

First, I have been in contact with NHTSA. They are aware of numerous issues with Motorex and the vehicles which Motorex had released or sold. After identifying a problem, they investigated, and when they had enough evidence to support their case, they revoked Motorex’s importation status. There appears to be evidence of fraud on the part of Motorex, but NHTSA is aware that the owners of these vehicles (third party purchasers and owners who had contracted with Motorex to have work performed) are victims. NHTSA has stated that they have every desire to work with Skyline owners to bring their vehicles up to standards, and ultimately, release the bonds on the vehicles. NHTSA is sympathetic to everyone’s plight, and I do not believe that they are the enemy here. Although I do not work for, or can speak on NHTSA’s behalf, I can say that I do not believe that they are going to crash through people’s doors to seize their Skylines. In fact, NHTSA is a regulatory agency, and not an enforcement agency.

Second, Detective Salmon and I are investigating a criminal case against Motorex. We are not out to seize anyone’s Skylines unless they are stolen. We are interested in pursuing this case because we believe that a lot of people have been defrauded, and we want to secure prosecution of any guilty parties involved. If anyone is in possession or know of the whereabouts of the Skylines with the following chassis numbers, then you need to contact me. These vehicles have been reported stolen.

1. BNR34-403075
2. BNR34-400755
3. BNR34-005468
4. BNR32-312046
5. BNR32-214507

Additionally, all of the Skylines that belong to customers that were at Motorex, but are no longer there since the business is now empty, may also be stolen. Contact me if your vehicle has disappeared, or you think you may have one of those vehicles.

You may be a victim of fraud if:

1. You contracted with Motorex or Hiro to import a Skyline from Motorex, but the vehicle was not delivered or has since disappeared.

2. You bought a Skyline from Motorex, but the vehicle was not delivered.

3. You bought a Skyline from Motorex, but the vehicle does not meet U.S. standards.

4. You contracted with Motorex to modify your Skyline to U.S. standards, but the Skyline still does not conform to U.S. standards.

I can be contacted at my office number, which is (562) 345-4262. I have prepared a complaint form which I urge you to complete and send back to me if you feel that you are a victim.

I thought I would share with all of you my story..... as I told the OP last Friday, I bought this car. I had already been in the market for something like this and the opportunity was a little too good to pass up, if it was real, and it is.

I had emailed and spoke to the seller over the phone a few times and we coordinated a date and time to meet up. but before I went out there I got the VIN # BNR3200xxxx, which is legit. He had MO plates on the car which is where his parents live currently and through my superior interwebs researching abilities, I also saw that the seller had a townhouse in LV, what he paid for it, when he bought and also saw that he recently sold - this ties in to what he told me - selling everything and moving to Japan.

I used some of my southwest credits and took the first flight out on a Sunday morning, 7am (Aug 8). I got in, rented a car for $25 on priceline.com and met with the seller at the storage facility by 10am near the border of Summerlin & LV.

He opened the storage container and there she was, covered in dust. Just to make sure this wasn't a 240sx in skyline badging, I took a closer look under the hood, inside the main cabin and the underbody. After 30+ minutes of looking carefully at this ride, I asked plenty of questions, etc, etc, etc....

Asked if the motor started (knowing it did not since that is what the ad said, he said, "you can try yourself". the motor cranked but did not start. As he suggested and I thought, bad fuel since it has been sitting for 8+ months.

We went to Mega Diner (used to be a Denny's) and spoke over some food - I gave him my word that I would buy it for his asking price if he gave me the original title - score! He gave me the title with the VIN and addressed to his parents place in MO. I got back to the airport and flew home - shortest Vegas trip evAR @ 3 hours. Was home by 330pm and in time to do laundry.

Cut a cashier's check and coordinated with a friend of mine to pick up the car and hand him the check - done. Friend is in the business of shipping cars over state lines, took it to his warehouse in LA, got two offers to buy it for $20K while filling up for gas in Barstow. Car arrives in the Bay Area tomorrow morning at 8am at my mechanics shop for a thorough look-thru and to also get it running.

Still not absolutely sure how I am going to register this car - talking to a friend who is a CHP Detective, a friend that works at DMV, a friend that lives in OR (out of state reg, maybe) and a few others that have gotten JDM vehicles in the US and successfully reg'd their cars/bikes. stay tuned.... AND if anyone knows a way and helps me get it Reg'd successfully, I'll give you $500 cash - REALLY. PM me.

At worst, she will become by garage queen and track ***** Stay tuned.....

Immediate plans are to upgrade the brakes (i.e. BBK and new wheels/tires). Pics from my HTC Incredible:

 

****. The haterade in me is boiling. But congrats. I really mean it. At least you're one of us.

 

+1.

Hey, when everything is settled, can you bring it out to the Gellert Meet sometime so that I can jizz, erm, sit in it please?

 

So ****in glad someone here picked this up!

And ya, you might be best off paying a couple hundred a year to get a Ore P.O. box andf just keep out of state plates on it here.

BTW, you can run STI brakes on it for pretty cheap, check out my write up, same fit for 240Z, 300ZX, R32 You actually have it a bit easier since EVO rear rotors fit right over your stock 330mm rear E-brake hardware just like stock!
