Awesome. So only 5 more years before my R32 is finally considered "truly" legal. haha. By that time it will be a RB26-powered, fire breathing beast.
If we're delving into technicalities of the law, if you register any year, any model Skyline as a kit car--while this does degrade the value somewhat in the eyes of purists--the car is magically 50-state legal. Different states have different opinions on what a kit car is, though. Some require a state issued VIN, which could be a pain in the a**. You also have to (or at the very least, "should") get kit car/collectors car insurance, which generally runs significantly more expensive, depending on how much you're insuring for--but at least you have a gauranteed payout.
With this path, the only difficulty is getting it into the country, as our illustrious topic poster has so poignantly brought to light.
By the way, i think i actually looked at a couple of those Skylines in the ATL. He was asking chump change for them...$5k less for an R32 than what i paid for my GTS-t, and I still didn't buy it, which i suppose is a testament to their post-customs condition.
