If you have a company that can sponsor the car, it comes into the country under their name. They have it registered in the name of the company and it CAN be driven perfectly legally in anystate in the country. The catch is that you have limited mileage. Most sponsors do this for show cars. This works with any car...GTR, Silvia, Enzo, Lambo, Mazerrati,...etc.
No company is in the legalization business for GTRs, Silvia, 180s, and many more, but there are ways to drive them if you want to mess with tons of red tape and deal with restrictions on mileage.

There are people all over the internet claiming to do it. But thereality is that NONE of them are. The only way currently to do it is via corporate sponsorship.

The DOT doesn't want us to have skylines, originally JK(became motorex) had to petition the DOT 6 times before they responded. These stupid Fast and Furious movies only made it worse. Even if you were to buy a motorex skyline, import another one cut in half, and file your mod package based on their changes I think they will reject it unless you take and crash test 3 cars like they did. I think at this point if you want a skyline take a 240SX, do the swap, skyline front end conversion, widebody fenders, and bodywork the tail lights in. This is my plan. I'm actually doing RHD too because the 240 I have has blown airbags and they tore the crap out of the dash.

I bring in mostly 1/2 cuts and a few engines. Our guy buys the cars complete over in Japan, and I pretty much specify what parts I want. I can import a front and rear 1/2 of anything as long as a chunk is missing-usually they cut the roof or a chunk from the floor.
