You could attempt the swap, but the problem lies with the AWD of the GTR, getting it into a GTS-t would require very difficult and expensive modification. So, it would probably be cheaper to buy a GTR from the beginning. As far as 'technically' having a GTR, it would always be a GTS-t with a GTR engine/drivetrain technically. That's because when it comes down to technicalities, you'll have the GTS-t body code.
Another issue with the swap, are cosmetic issues, the lack of the wide body on the GTS-t. The front is easily cured by swapping the fenders and bumper, all bolt on. The rear is where the issue is quite difficult, to get the wide body, the rear fenders would have to get full blister panels welded on, and the gas door would have to be pushed out to match them for it to look correct.
As for the military, yes we are allowed to import vehicles from other countries. However, we have to follow all the import rules and guidelines like everyone else. More so to a point. If I want to import my Skyline to the US, I have to pay a $5000 minimum down payment to the RI and prove this with a contract and receipt before I can even get the car on a boat to the US!
