EvilRB · 04-10-2011, 10:54 AM

Came across this on another forum, thought that I'd share, hope it's not a repost, didn't see it on here.

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Skyline/

stiizy · 04-10-2011, 11:17 AM

Good luck with this one.

Thank you, signed as well

I could only see this backfiring. You send a list of people that either own skylines or would like to own skylines to the government. Next thing you know everyone on the list is getting a visit from Uncle Sam driving a flat bed. Dunno, just a thought.

i thought it would be cool to get magazines involved in it, have them dedicate a page for a sign-in mailer they could send in and have the magazines jsut collect them for a year or so. I wish they would do something like that.

That would definitely be more of a step in the right direction.

Damn Now I'm debating to not sign up

^ ohh sing it! just dont put your address i just put my "basic" location.

cgtdream · 04-10-2011, 10:39 PM

Why would you want to make it legal to drive a boat on the highway.....but serisouly its a skyline, nothing great about it btw....might be a pipedream car for most, but in all truthfulness its a little short...your best bet would be to wait like what 2-3 more years for the 1989 gtr's to be importable...a petition like this, wont do shiat..

Its interesting how this works. I live in Canada, and can easily buy a R32 or R33 right now due to our 15 year import rule, but I'd much rather spend it on a s chassis.

Either I'm ignorant, or a fanboy, I dunno. I guess I am satisfied enough with the attention I get already.

Skylines are over-rated. I've driven all of them. (the R35 is a different machine, stay in school kids, buy this car)

Toi · 04-11-2011, 05:47 AM

I am confused, isn't the 33 for most part legal and won't the 32 be legal within the next few years under the 25 year law, what is the rush?

Edgar · 04-11-2011, 06:29 AM

who cares......

Silverbullet · 04-11-2011, 07:15 AM

what exactly is there to petition? R32 and R34s need to be crash tested.

SleepR 240sx · 04-11-2011, 07:52 AM

I mean I guess it's a cool idea and all but when it comes to federal law and crash test certifications...this petition won't do a single thing. Its the sad truth. People should start spending the money they waste importing skylines and put it into something else...preferablly a savings account.

ZilviaKid · 04-11-2011, 09:37 AM

yo americans, skylines are over hyped. theyre really not that great.

play with your s chassis and youll be much happier.

JDMDude · 04-11-2011, 11:02 AM

Skylines are overrated.

4DOOR_LIFE · 04-11-2011, 11:46 AM

I don't see this getting very far. in what way would they "legalize" skylines? are they just going to turn their heads when it comes to emissions tests? during a time when we are all about going "green"?

dont waste your time guys.

That's why you join stuff like SEMA SAN - SEMA ACTION NETWORK

Honestly like others have said these online petitions don't do shit, now if you join a group that is already fighting legislation you have better chances of making a difference.

Honestly though, what is with all the fascination of owning a GT-R other than the r35 and the rarity in the states? By now there are plenty of cars that will outperform most skylines, and it doesn't seem very beneficial when it comes to doing simple maintenance, you'd have to order almost everything. Many people on here that want one could never take care of one, and turn them into another beat down car on the streets.

BoostSlideWayz · 04-11-2011, 12:06 PM

they wont legalize em........ just making an jdm vehicle legal atleast in california ... takes ALOT they have to go through tons of inspections and things have to be altered and set to us spec. the money it costs JUST for those inspections and not to mention they would need to buy actually quite alot of them for testing .. some would be used for crash tests .. some would be used for safety regulations.. etc. i know this because when i was talking to an importer about importing a rhd supra from japan he told me if i wanted it to be legal ... they would need to preform lots of tests that will probably cost more money and it truelly would be like kind of a huge deal just for some people to enjoy there skylines legally.

I mean dont get me wrong i love skylines and i think it would be neat to have them legal but its just a lot of trouble.

m0rex · 04-11-2011, 12:53 PM

Good luck with this but its not going to do anything

h2v7 · 04-11-2011, 01:12 PM

too much info i agree but respectably decline

BustedS13 · 04-11-2011, 01:16 PM

you guys know there are awd turbo cars available in America already, right

and two years into Palin's term as president, r32's will be legal anyway. anybody have a writeup for a lhd swap
