Im not sure how long it takes to get to Japan from the mainland US...but it takes about 9-10 hours to get there from Hawaii. So its not that close....I guess in relation to texas or something...Hawaii would be closer....but its not like a 2 hour flight or anything.

No, we cant import cars from Japan either....we have customs and our cops are very strict on our import scene. We have a law called Reconstruction....if the car has rims, drop, tint, exhaust, or any type of modification done to it....it has to pass a reconstruction test. The worse part about this test, its completely up to the inspector to pass you....nothing is really written out to spec. So our state employees (however a bad day they are having) can have their little power trip on you and fail you, if they feel like it.

Actually, the Reconstruction laws are only for the County of Honolulu, which encompases all of Oahu.

The other islands aren't affected by it.

Plus... Reconstruction is only for when you modify a vehicle from it's original specs. If you import a Skyline from Japan directly from a dealer, it's never been modified so no need for a Recon sticker.

But, you do have to have it cleared by the Dept. of Transportation in order for it to be legally registered. I believe that requires three prior models of the vehicle to be crash tested. After that, anyone can import that specific model without hassle.

Not sure, but I know that my sales manager (while I was standing there) punched up to see what cars have been delivered to dealers about 2 weeks ago. Only one in Hawaii showed up. Not sure which one. And it was only 1 car.

It was only a 10-15 second spot at the the end of the 5 o'clcok news. Talking about the car and the dealer who had 3 of them. Knowing the "slime factor" of the dealer they were talking about he probably slipped them some cash or bought air time to get it on.

Evoless in MD, VA, and DC.. Dealer still says march 21st.. I'm hoping for friday... but then again, I havent heard of any more arriving closer to us in the last few days.. Maybe all the trucks that delivered the evos as far as halfway here had to go back to pick up the other half of them slated for the east coast.. They shoulda just thrown them on a train.

Saw a red one on the local dealer's lot this morning on the way to work. Louisiana apparently has at least one.

the lancaster pa dealer says that they will be coming from balitmore where they arrive by boat. I could see that trip all the way through the panama canal taking 2-3 weeks longer than the west coast folks.

hopefully soon.
