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.

I never said anything about being legal, I'm saying its a good chance no one will ever bother to do anything about it. I'm aware noble M12's come over as a rolling chassis, which is the way i was saying to get a R34 over and then ship the motor seperately. Will the government let you ship over an R34 straight up and say "happy motoring", probably not, but if people can nearly completely rebuild a car and still have it street legal in totally different form there has to be some way to do it with a skyline, just time consuming and a pain in the ass. Again though, with the illegal VIN swap, thats a dont ask dont tell kinda thing: you- "its a maxima i modified for show" cop- "ok." It would take a hell of a team to prove otherwise and if its just one car i doubt the government will go through that kind of trouble. I mean, think about it, you would need the best of nissan specialists to prove that it isnt a heavily modified maxima to a legally undeniable extent, because someone could alway argue "i modified it to be as close to a skyline as possible" and they would probably just drop it because its too much trouble. Also, I want to see this legal document that says you will go to jail for importing a non-street legal car and that they will crush it, because i seriously doubt they are going to be that harsh just because you imported a car.
