Thank God we have the Feds' kevlar ninja stormtroopers to protect us from the extreme, clear and present danger that is potentially non-compliant Japanese imported sports cars...

"Following the tradition that is the GT-R saga, Kaizo's actions have recently been called into question by pretty much every acronymed authority -- DOT, EPA, ICE, CARB, DOJ and FBI..."

Its stupid... whats the problem with them... so there right hand drive, but they are safe there... so wouldnt that mean they are safer here with our crash test regulations... not 3 months ago, i saw a r32 skyline at a drift event, in the parking lot. and a 19 year old was driving it, it sounded like an rb engine, so if that onel slipped why is a big problem now...

These people obsessed with importing Skylines seem to not realize that there are indeed other cars out there....

People will go great lengths for CERTAIN cars. Do a little research on the R34 GTR and you will find out how great that piece of machinery really is. In many ways it's still better than the new GTR.

Wait... is this the same California that is currently bankrupt? Gee wiz... they cant afford to pay people of the state, but they sure can afford to send out agents to confiscate harmless cars.

Harmless? These skylines are clearly the #1 cause of global warming, the economic meltdown and the death of polar bears. Kaizo must be stopped!

The problem is that Nissan, nor this fellow running this operation, paid Uncle Sam the requisite massive extortion fees to "legalize" these cars. That's big bucks there. Millions.
You know, that body style is still very attractive... Nissan should just bring it to the US on a G37/Z370 chassis. Make sure it passes crash testing (easy, since it would be using existing, legal cars' guts) and emissions (also easy, for the same reason), and we have a Skyline in the US. I'd bet it'd sell well to non-enthusiasts who recognize it from the Gay and the Transvestite movie that came out earlier this year.
Of course, I have no idea on the costs to do so, but they don't need any styling work done, and 90% of the engineering can be parts-binned out of the G37/Z370 box. So no more than a minimal investment. Offer it in sedan as well as coupe form, and as a Nissan, so it doesn't compete with the Z and so it has more mainstream appeal. Gotta keep prices low though, or it'll compete vs the G37.

Can't the owners just have them detuned/modified to met the regulations?

Skyline GT-R and GT-R are Godzillas, then Lexus LF-A is a Kyubi.
