      There were 3 Skylines in St. Louis, R32, R33, and R34...the 4 is owned by a performance shop, the 3 was privately owned but sold, and the 2 is still owned privately and the guy drives it like a madman and does drift-events with it.

      It shouldn't be hard at all to get a 323 GT-R over here...it would just have to get regular US 323 VIN plates and no one would question it. It's a bit harder to get, say, a Eunos Cosmo, legal. Someday...

        ! thing I know for sure....

        The 323 GT-R as no reinforment into the bumpers...
        Here in Canada they don't question crash test...but I was told that in th US they have to crash a few and make sure its safe to drive before it imported...for daily use...

        For sure if you want to driff or race with those cars..no problem it won't hit the road

          Yes, this is true. To import a car in the US you have to have a couple of them crash-tested, or the car has to be virtually the same as a US car and would have to be brought up to DOT and EPA specification.

          The crash-testing alone rules out just about everyone.

          Here's a list of cars that are allowed to be imported to the US:
