Making real Japanese cars legal?

[thepolecat]

They have to pass emissions and meet all safety requirements. The safety stuff is little things like reflectors in headlights and taillights that older Japanese cars did not have. Emissions is by far the largest part and most essential. Certain ports are easier to get through like New Orleans. A friend of mine got an R34 and had to wait 6 months to get it through customs. There are companies you can buy from in Japan that will do all the legwork at a cost to you.
