...4. Most Countries Do Not Restrict Imported Cars<br /><br />There are few countries who have such tight restrictions on the importation of vehicles and in fact many countries such as Kenya depend on JDM Imports because they are known for their value, reliability and safety. They also commissioned local Japanese agencies to ensure the cars being exported are safe. In reality, Japan has far more controls and safety regulations to ensure their used cars are road worthy, this is known as Shaken and it is a strict safety test to ensure the car is in proper and safe working condition.<br /><br />Even the way the Japanese auction their cars is more honest and accurate compared to North American car auctions, where every scratch and sign of an accident or repair is reported and disclosed regardless of the total damage.<br />5. The 15-Year Law or Proposed Changes Only Benefit Dealerships<br />We hope that anyone reading this has come to the very obvious conclusion that the only interest in disallowing such cars to be imported is not in the interest of the public or the consumer. This appears to be another desperate move by the car industry to maintain their profits and marketshare on a very tough market.<br /><br />If safety is the issue with these cars then the government should not allow such old vehicles to be imported. It makes sense to only allow 10 year old cars in and to allow the newest cars from Japan to directly enter our shores which would instantly alleviate and resolve any outstanding or debatable concerns on safety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649798.post-6724047768292219722009-08-25T20:21:29.731-07:002009-08-25T20:21:29.731-07:003. There Is No Reliable Proof That These Cars Pos...3. There Is No Reliable Proof That These Cars Pose Any Danger<br />Of all the countries who have a mixture of local and imported cars, it's only ICBC that has come to the conclusion that RHD imports supposedly pose a danger. In 2007 they released a report which they admit is certainly not conclusive that supposedly RHD Imports are at a higher risk of a crash.<br /><br />However, there are many discrepancies in this report and the Imported Vehicles Owners Association of Canada (IVOAC) and others have found many causes for concern in ICBC's report, thus demanding the raw data of the statistics under the Freedom of Information Act.<br /><br />To summarize, ICBC made no effort to ensure the comparison between imported and domestic cars was unbiased and accurate. For example, it is well known that high performance cars such as Mustang's, BMWs, Ferrari's, Viper's etc are much more likely to be in a crash, however it appears their study compared the performance monster, Nissan Skyline to cars such as the Nissan Sentra (a small and slow family sedan). In fact, any study that was conducted in such a manner is bound to be inaccurate considering that the majority of cars being imported tend to be high performance, turbocharged cars which by their very nature would account for a higher accident rate, just as local performance cars are more likely to be involved in an accident.<br /><br />This is just at a first glance but one can see how any study based on such a premise is inherently flawed.<br />ICBC later admitted to the press that the study is not conclusive or perfect, yet for some reason they released it knowing the implications it would have on the owners of JDM Imports. What's more is that many other insurance agencies began to refuse to insure such vehicles, citing ICBC's flawed study as the reason, a result which ICBC must have known would occur as a result of the study.<br /><br />As far as anyone can tell, the only motivation to release such a flawed study would be to devalue and further deter people from purchasing and importing more JDM cars to compete with the local market. As most people are aware of, with the onslaught of cheaper American cars, local car dealerships are doing their best to deny warranties and ensure people are deterred from bringing cars from the United States in order to protect their marketshare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649798.post-45468799795238841312009-08-25T20:21:17.929-07:002009-08-25T20:21:17.929-07:001. The Government Should Protect The Consumer'...1. The Government Should Protect The Consumer's Right To Choose<br />One of the many examples that most closely resembles this issue is satellite television.<br />It is currently illegal to even subscribe to a US satellite provider.<br /><br />What does this have to do with the 15-Year Rule? We believe the answer is simple, local television and satellite providers have lobbied our government to ensure they face less competition and gain more market share. Simply put, the television providers are doing their best to keep a strangle hold on our near-monopoly in television providers.<br /><br />If you could buy better and cheaper satellite from the US, you probably would right?<br /><br />The same example applies to the importation of used cars from Japan and abroad.<br />Car dealerships have lobbied our government in order to stop even 15-Year old cars in better shape than cars available locally from arriving on our shores.<br />2. Safety Is Not The Issue<br /><br />Transport Canada and some other Insurance Agencies (namely ICBC) have tried to say their main issue and concerns with JDM Japanese Used Car Imports are "safety" which is their explanation for why the car must be 15 years or older, or for the proposed change to 25 years.<br /><br />This to us does not make any sense for the consumer or under any kind of logic, unless you are a company or organization who stands to benefit by having less cars on the market.<br /><br />All of the imports coming in have met the safety standards in their own country and most come with equivalent safety features that cars from our market had 15 years ago. Further, in comparison to some cars that were already available in Canada, some of the JDM (Japanese) counterparts had enhanced safety features such as Traction Control Systems (TCS) of which till this day no North American model has had. A good example is some JDM Integra's having traction control whereas no Integra in North America ever had it.<br /><br />Even if one can argue that 15 year old or 25 years old Japanese cars are really unsafe, why would you allow them? We know the stand point of the TC (Transport Canada) that they believe restricting the importation of such cars deters people from wanting to import such cars but does it make sense? <br /><br />The bottom line to us, is that if the older JDM cars are not deemed safe enough by our government then they should let much newer vehicles into this country, ones that have even better safety standards than the old ones and likely more safety features than the current North American models. However, this was never an idea, option or a proposal in the legislation change, their only proposal is to increase the age limit to 25 years, thus making it nearly impossible to import a decent JDM car.<br /><br />What's more is that the average JDM car that is 15 years old is in better condition, has less mileage and is overall safer than a 15 year old used car on our local market.<br /><br />If we go further, many countries in Europe and Asia allow a mixture of local and import cars of LHD and RHD on the road with no evidence or studies proving that their domestic or imports differ in their crash or safety statistics.<br /><br />So if safety is the only complaint the government has and there is a way to resolve it by allowing newer JDM cars which are certainly much safer, why don't they? The answer is pretty obvious, and although our government has a duty to protect our economy, it must also understand that in our democracy and free market, consumers have the right to choose the best car for their money, rather than the dealerships having the right to sell the worst car for the most amount of money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649798.post-59019074444937644112009-08-25T20:20:36.810-07:002009-08-25T20:20:36.810-07:00Why is it that in Canada they have the 15 year rul...Why is it that in Canada they have the 15 year rule just like we have the 25 year rule and in some provinces in Canada have more strict rules for imports just like here in the U.S. like Florida vs Cali but in Canada they don't have the feds running around seizing cars and in fact regardless of the all the rules/laws of different provinces the federal government in Canada called Transport Canada let the cars in even if the destination province has high import rules but in the U.S. the Federal Government is over riding what the 50 states are doing. Florida doesn’t give a shit about the cars so how can you violate an EPA rule if the car is in Florida that doesn’t require emissions testing. You can't violate a law that doesn’t exists in your state can you? Therefore it would be unnecessary to Federalize a car that is in a state where most of the federalizing process/work doesn’t apply to the state for with the car will be registered. Again if the Feds say well the car has to pass emissions even in Florida because the car owner can then travel to Cali to visit and therefore violates the smog, clean air act. So I guess we should stop border travel from Canada because how man cars including someone who wants to visit the U.S. in his R32 violate the clean air act at the time of the visit. Doesn’t make sense. The fact of the matter is it has nothing to do with emissions nor safety, it’s about protecting the local auto makers. Common sense would say that a 25 year old car is not more safe for the street or emissions then importing a newer car from Japan like the R35 etc.. So let’s continue… Even though I’m going to talk about Canada at this point the topic is very similar to the U.S. BTW Anyone in Cali doesn’t need to have a Skyline pass the clean air act if the motor is swap with a North American produced engine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649798.post-86766654850868904412009-08-13T06:18:57.722-07:002009-08-13T06:18:57.722-07:00That would pretty much open the borders to importe...That would pretty much open the borders to imported cars.And since Obama owns GM,that will never happenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649798.post-48153982047018514642009-08-12T12:08:24.911-07:002009-08-12T12:08:24.911-07:00The USA should get rid of their crappy fmvss regul...The USA should get rid of their crappy fmvss regulations and adopt the ECE Regulations used by europe and japan!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649798.post-29500197257453543812009-08-04T08:48:33.492-07:002009-08-04T08:48:33.492-07:00yeah, i contacted them too.

Lastly, for all of the people on these forums and or any other blog site informing people that they should hide their cars or sell them or what have you, they are all disrupting justice and will also be federally charged. Mind you that all of these charges and more when on a federal realm are treated as felony charges and can only be pardoned by the president of the USA. There is no way that you can even file at a later point in time for a dismissal of your previous charge if convicted.<br /><br />Paul Dentise also known as Paul2x the guy with Daryl's first generation illegal "Nissani" Nissan Silvia S15 that is illegally registered in Arizona stated this on the supra forum stating that charges would have been made and a case would have been put together is not always the case here (referring to Daryl's case). But Paul, it is a matter of time as Sean Morris will tell you. Also, Paul, your lack of knowledge and your quickness to respond in the fashion that you have only tells me that you are a) in denial of your own car being illegal, b) lack of knowledge about the law (at least in this matter), and c) your HUGE ego. The government is not some roadrunner to finish a case in a few days. This case will take Daryl on a long and torturous nightmare which he could have prevented, but didn't. Instead, he was suffering from what all US entrepreneurs go through, which is greed! He was not challenged by anyone because everyone regarded him as the "all-knowing" former Orange County sheriff who had also spoke on behalf of the MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). Now that he is challenged, you are quick to defend him because why? You have purchased a piece of his property which is stained with bad import blood! So next time you open your Huge ego on these forums, you should really knuckle down and secure your own car by possibly working out a deal with the US government. You may be able to cut a deal with them and possibly end up keeping your car if you can testify against him. Maybe all of us should think about saving our own ass and just put the blame on Daryl who has been from the get go only worried about making that money! One more note, Paul, you say being criminally charged and being investigated are totally different things. In fact, they are Totally Connected! Criminals like Daryl and his facade was initially investigated to see if there was a case against this criminal, and once the govt. had the evidence which pointed to even a little thing like the intent, yes the "INTENT" to do any of the crimes I have posted above gives the US govt. the authority to seek criminal charges against the criminal Daryl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31649798.post-81134380031354437882009-07-11T13:17:13.893-07:002009-07-11T13:17:13.893-07:00It is always interesting to read and compare old a...It is always interesting to read and compare old and new threads that were posted, especially by this user: BmwNeoType who's real name is Ganesh. He is some stupid Indian who said "Kaizo cars, Motorex Cars, Bond release cars will never be touched by this kind of activity" on Jun 14 2008, 06:15 AM. One year later, we are now seeing a very different picture to what Ganesh had been preaching last year. Kaizo's illegal operation screwed the pooch and Daryl made his money by selling cars he bought from Japanese auction houses like USS Tokyo, to say the least. He will now have to deal with the government with their unlimited resources. For those who wish to file a law suit against this former Orange County Sherriff, it maybe too late to do so because he has already dissolved his business "Kaizo Industries, Inc." <br /><br />What Daryl has done is brought upon himself, the people who were helping him, and his customers a major headache. This is a very serious case with very serious charges that could be brought against Daryl. If anyone else is found to have been a co-conspirator to any of the sales, advertising, and or taking possession to deliver any said "unibody" and or "engine" for the company Kaizo to a customer, then the government will also seek federal conspiracy charges against them. They will focus on any signatures, affidavits, money wire transfers to and from, online forum postings, advertisements, promoting, phone conversations (if any were recorded), and actual photographs of sales taking place. They probably already have enough evidence from the computers, records and the 3 vehicles they seized from his place of work. By going after his clients, they are only fortifying their case against Daryl. It is inevitable that they will bring charges against him.

Or will it still be like... maybe its legal (parts), maybe its not (completed car)?<br /><br />In other words, do u think we can expect a difinitive answer by the Government as to the Kaizo unibody?<br /><br />It would suck if they ruled YES TOTALLY ILLEGAL (was about to buy one myself), but would suck worse if the answer was wishy washy and anytime they get a bug up their ass, they can just raid your place and take your kit car and "find" something illegal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
