where can you get an s15 spec r in the us, who has them

gregsr20 · 05-10-2003, 03:44 PM

who imports/exports them

Anubis · 05-10-2003, 03:45 PM

never heard of s15's imported to the usa by anyone.

gregsr20 · 05-10-2003, 03:47 PM

i've heard of some company called motorex, but i am not sure

AKADriver · 05-10-2003, 03:51 PM

Motorex = Skylines only.

Anyone can import them, no one can legalize them (well and hope to ever break even on the cost).

zspturbo · 05-10-2003, 06:33 PM

www.night7racing.com sells them. you dont need to legalize, get it registered as a custom car. you'll have to make all the vin numbers disappear though

someone didnt do their homework. MOTORex does sell skylines... but they also have silvias/180sx. they are known for bringing over the skylines. but yes they do have silvia's. and yes they do have a S15 silvia spec R. so yah go to torrance or wherever in the 310 they're located and ask to see the silvias. way cheaper than the skylines. so there!

i'm pretty sure the sils aren't legal even if they did carry them, so what's the point? and for the money they would charge for them, you could build the equivolent or better for less

Brian · 05-12-2003, 06:21 PM

motorex does carry silvias too? when i went down there all i saw was skylines. i did go a while ago so maybe i am way out of date.

that's a good site i'm just guessing they aren't legal here. but those look like some nice ras none the less

The question was if they imported silvias. If they go through motorex, they are perfectly legal. And if he asked to buy a silvia, I'd hope he'd already have some ballpark estimate. Be original, import em.

you're sure they import and legalize them? legalize? s15s? i myself am not sure on that

andrave · 05-12-2003, 09:51 PM

the US no longer accepts right hand drive cars as "substantially similar" which means you can't say "look guys, its a 240sx" (or an impreza (wrx) or a 300zx (fairlady) etc).

I've no doubt that a careful (and creative) interpretation of the law and some phone calls to the right people and you could legalize a car like the 180sx or s13/s14 silvia, since its basically identical to the 240sx.

but I'm not saying it would be easy, and it might be expensive.

however, the s15 poses the problem that, like the skyline, its not substantially similar to anything ever sold here.

I don't see how any company importing them is going to get around that.
