Skylines cost new the equivalent of about 50k if that and if my friend is correct, Japan is imposing a new tax that increases with the age of the vehicle to try to get people to buy new cars, so there are just lots full of skylines and integra type R's that no one wants because of the ludicrous taxes. The WORST case scenario is you would get a ticket for not meeting emission standards, but if you really do live in BFE thats not even the law there. Most people that aren't seriously into cars aren't even aware what a skyline is much less that they aren't legal or even that they werent sold here in the first place. The hardest part would be getting one over here and getting all the pieces together because there is no mechanics that specialize in skylines as they arent sold here. Once it is in your driveway and running, you should be good to go.

First I said this as a VERY basic, general, idea. I wasn't giving trying to give Specifics... And after being aMechanic for the past 10yrs. I know they wont Destroy a vehicle for Smog reasons.... Thats not what the point I'm trying to make..
The point is that its ILLEGAL! Sure some might get away with it for awhile, But is it really worth risking that type of $$$. What happens WHEN you get stopped by a Cop who actually has an Idea of what the car is???? Or when you Piss of somebody in a Honduuuh, whos dropped 20g's in their ride... You piss them off and they report you??? Not ot mention that if they are ALREADY tightning restrictions on these cars, dont you think they'll be looking closer for people who are trying to get around the restrictions???
Unless you go through the COMPLETE process and follow the GOV's rules and regs Exactly, You WILL NOT have a LEGAL Skyline. And there are already stories out there of the GOV seizing illegal Skylines....
I'm done now....
