In Ohio, our BMV workers have little to no knowledge of even USDM cars, while, in contrast, California educates its personnel on these issues throroughly. Also, remember that the vast majority of shipping containers enter and leave this country uninspected. For the most part, your container holds whatever you say it holds. Ports in the midwest are much less likely to worry about this shit than those on the coasts.

good point, thats what i've been trying to say, people outside of california and big cities likely will have no idea what a skyline is or if its legal or not in the US. Also, an R32 is very sleeper and could easily be mistaken for a maxima or something and an R33 could be mistaken for a chevy impala SS (the new ones) with a bodykit. I know this because every now and then i see an impala SS at the right angle and im like "dude! skyline!, no wait, domestic lame rip off, nevermind"
