I think that would be more rare than someone shipping over a skyline using motorex to make it legal.

I know I have seen a lot of $90k cars in minnesota, so what if this one happens to be a skyline, it's not like they are impossible to get, and it isn't like the money isn't there.

Plus, about the ricers talking about it, do you go around asking people if they have seen a skyline, b/c I haven't really said anything about it after the day I saw it.

My guess it that it is some older guy, possibly in the army who was stationed over in japan, likes skylines, and probably isn't into taking it to car shows and down to uni.
motorex is no more. there are currently no companies that can street-legally import skylines.

however, with minnesota's lax emissions laws and general police/dmv ignorance, i'm guessing you wouldn't have much trouble bringing one over and registering it as a different vehicle, even if you were still registering it as an imported RHD car -- just not an r32/33/34 who's crash-testing data was paid for by a company in CA but made not publicly available so no one else can legalize the cars right now. there's a bit of discussion about this going on in the socal list right now because one of the members had his r34 seized and crushed and is suing the now-defunct motorex.

but saying that a RHD skyline is fake because your ricer friends haven't heard about it is pretty absurd.
