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.

None of the stuff you are stating will legalize it. The ONLY way to legalize it is to have a certified shop to do it. and guess what NO ONE can do it. That is a Zero. But when they do legalize a car, the do a lot. Reinforce the firewall and doors for one. Bumpers, safety glass, and smog is another. they add cats to the exhaust and a lot of other things. Nobles are not US legal, but they are street legal, they are brought over on an hs-7 form and then a US supplier will add the motor for you.
