And my reference to importing the cars to Canada was because the import laws to import into Canada are way more strict than importing into the USA. So if they can get them there, then it should be easier to get them here. There's a clause in the Canadian import laws that says any vehicle 15 years or older is legal for import regardless of anything else so that's what people are doing. and the R33s just became legal this year though it'll be another 2 years before the GTR makes its way in there since they introduced the GTx version 2 years prior to the GTR for that generation. Try looking into that and see if there's anything similar here.
Well, obviously, by your own post, it isn't harder to get Skylines into Canada. The clause makes it easier. at least for R32's and R33's. Done. As for different purposes, what purpose would you be buying your Skyline for? Performance? Haha riiiiight. No, you would be getting it to impress other Import car owners. Being a "Cool" guy because you have a Skyline.
So while i'm impressing the opposite sex, you are trying to impress guys. Go for it buddy. I'd still take the 930 Turbo and outperform your Skyline in just about every way.

Speedminded. Once you get your car registered, get a vin number on it and a title, it's done. Legalized in the US. It may not stand up under a federal inspection but by then it's too late. Once you get all of that documentation they will not attempt to take your car, especially in Georgia (where i'm assuming we all live). The legal ramifications would not be favorable. You could sue the city, state and who knows who else for them legalizing your car then taking it and crushing it. They will not waste their time on that.

Either way, all of this is just one persons opinion against other peoples opinion because this is all in theory. My brother though, has imported numerous Japanese vehicles. I've seen the headaches he's gone through with his and believe me, it isn't a picnic. Between then container headaches, the open deck transport where 8 of his cars were seized by customs to the paperwork to get them off of the docks, the legalization part of it was by far the most painless part of it.
