So, basically the only company to only bring skylines into the country was this place? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen something that looks like that R33 one running around Munhall/Homestead area in the South Hills.

Motorex cars could have ended up in PA before it fell apart.

Great find, it’s good to see the real story of what went down.

if i remember correctly its silver. i towedhim about 2 years ago out of the vintage grand prix car show down in waterfront. i had a call that said flatbed call for a nissan. i called bullshit but still went down in the bed. got down there and definately looked under the front end and it was AWD he said he was in the military and worked a few things and it was shipped over in a few pieces and he had it put back together. not that clean of a car but it was decent and still a GTR. i think it had bondo and cracks in the bondo all over but it was cool to have towed it

I heard some kids in Cali had their cars crushed that might have came thru motorex. county impounded them then just crushed them bc of legality of the car.
