You can bring over a car as a rolling chasis, and import the motor but still not be legalized. Only a Specific RI or company can do the legalizations and guess what, NO ONE can do it right now. Let me repeat, NO ONE. Now you can bring it over on a HS-7 form and have DOT paper work, but in the end, you aren't legal, but you do mean standards to have it a DD. you can pass emissions and inspection and get a State title. But you can't really sell the car and have to comply with many other standards and they do know where youre car is. Secondly, its not easy to bring the car over on Race only and Show forms. Its not a simple process like you guys think it is.

well i never said it was eays, if it was i think there would be quite a few more skylines on the road. Does anyone know what other issues there are besides smog? I've heard crash bumpers arent the right height or something stupid, but there must be more to it than that. Also, i think you are thinking of chop shop type switching of VINs, which is seriously illegal, but if you purchase both vehicles and swap VINs, in which case you would be registering it as a maxima and such, would be illegal but not enough they would jail you for it, again, your thinking of a chop shop stealing and reselling cars with a different VIN. The use of the maxima was just a for instance. Maybe if you would try to sell it or sell multiple ones you would go to jail. Also, since apparently the RB can be legalized in some form since they have them over hear and the rolling chassis can be imported, i dont see how it would be different from a Noble M12 that is only available in rolling chassis form and putting the RB in it at that stage. There may be more to getting it legal than that, but your not going to jail for bringing a car over that isnt smog legal, thats just stupid, christ, its not like its a nuclear missle or something. Bottom line though, who cares anyway? we are getting the GTR Proto (whatever it ends up being called) in a couple years anyway and that will be legal with a warranty.
P.S. A show on speed channel somehow managed to get an R32 in the country for a show where they built up 3 cars a chevy cobalt ss, a jetta, and a skyline. If they can do it up sure other people could as well, and i believe also that all 3 had to be kept street legal.
