Well I drive a RHD car everyday It was no challenge at all and driving a LHD hummer and Oshkosh 7 ton every other day made it that much easier. R32 Skyline is not 250hp hahaha maybe 200 if you are lucky. Of course I have been here longer than most of you have been driving so that is another reason it is not difficult.

the first guy purchased his package from new jersey for 10k.
the other knew lots of people and also sold his Rb20 powered 240 coupe for a 4,500 to a ****ing dude who blew the motor in 2 weeks.

Motorex owner jailed, R32 and R34 legalization rescinded
Monday, March 13, 2006
Posted by: AZhitman
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the owner of Motorex, Nanahoshi Hiroaki, 33, was arrested Thursday and booked into the L.A. County Jail. He is being held on $1 Million bail.
Booking Details
Hiroaki's initial appearance is scheduled for Wednesday of this week.
Hiroaki and Motorex came to the recognition of Nissan enthusiasts in the US as they became the only Registered Importer legally authorized to legalize Skylines for US use. As Motorex was able to comply with stringent US crash-testing requirements, they petitioned the courts to protect their interest in the Skyline market by "locking out" other would-be importers from the list of necessary modifications.
Not only did this give Motorex a corner on the market for legal Skylines, it also allowed them to command a premium price for each legalized car. Motorex-prepped Skylines can fetch upwards of $50,000. While making loads of money, Motorex also made loads of enemies.
According to sources, the lease to the Motorex facility has been overdue for months, and is now locked out by the landlord.
The US Department of Transportation has offically rescinded importation eligibility for both the R32 and R34 Skylines, only 96-98 R33 Skylines are still eligible to be imported.
Stay tuned - We'll keep you updated on the latest news as it becomes available.

Yeah True but you get over it real fast when that S13/4 Silvia flys by you and you are unable to catch up 
or when you are crusing in your GT-R and pull up next to a S14 that looks strangely hooked up and then try to mess with him and then all you see is his tail lights getting smaller.

200m HKS Drag Race
Well Here are a few vids of me racing at a crappy 200M track here in Oki.
Me At the HKS Drag
Just look through they suck because it is no 1/4 mile but I am still running 6.5 sec in 1/8th~
I will get some good stuff up once I get hold of it.
