interresting....

"Recently, a vehicle which came to notoriety is the Nissan Skyline, which was featured proeminently in video games, movies and magazines. This vehicle, being exlusively sold in Japan, became an object of intrest and in 1999, a California company, Motorex, sacrificed a small number of R33 GTS25s for the purpose of crash testing. They submitted their information to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and petitioned them to allow 1990-1999 GT-Rs and GTSs to be imported, at the condition that they were modified to meet federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Many Skylines were subsequently imported through Motorex. This lasted until late 2005, when the NHTSA became informed that not all 1990 through 1999 Skyline models would perform identically in crash testing. Motorex had submitted information for only the R33, and told the NHTSA that it was sufficient for all R32, R33, and R34 models. According the further review by the NHTSA, only 1996-1998 R33 models have been demonstrated as capable of being modified to meet the federal motor vehicle safety standards. After that, only these 1996-1998 models are eligible for importation. In March of 2006, Motorex ceased all imports and Motorex principal Hiroaki "Hiro" Nanahoshi was arrested and held on $1 million bail on financial, kidnapping, and assault charges."

I know of two kids in NY that share a r33... Last time i heard about it, it was for sale. Worst was when i was first breaking my motor in (at exactly 234 miles) a BRAND NEW Diablo pulled right up next to me at a light revving! I'll tell you what, thats the worst feeling in the world!!!
