I didnt want to see anyone make a mi$take like I did last summer.
I had an sc300(purchased here),sold it to purchase a Skyline over-seas. Ended up having the car shipped here and back to Japan to be resold. Ended up losing a bit over 2k over the whole deal.
There was a loophole at the DOT that was closed a week prior to me sending my deposit over there

US custom will NOT release your car. You will have to show document that proof this car meet all the fed standard.. currently there no JDM meet all fed standard ecxcept skyline.. I have seen european and vintage car at the port before but I never seen JDM car been release by US custom...

Well this is what I would do, buy a skyline from Japan preferably a R32 GTR 
. Ok, bring the car over for strictly track use ( or say you will ) tow it off the dock whatever blah blah. Then, you go and purchase a 240sx, like the 89, switch the vins, and shave all the GTR emblems off the skyline except for the nissan. Around here a lot of cops dont know too much bout cars and such, so I could easily say that I converted it to RHD, I was thinking about doing this as well, or maybe I should just move to japan
