california is even stricter than the feds, but other states couldn't care less, especially if you're in the military

funny that california also has the worst dmv regulations and the most inept dmv employees (from top to bottom)

if what you mean by registered importer is somebody who will bring it into spec with federal epa and dot standards than yes you can do that if it's required

and those shops will do any car, but they charge a lot because they typically do mercedes, ferrari, etc.

yes, not only was the r34 gt-r obd2, it had the added curse of not being a vehicle sold in the usa in any way, shape or form, so the feds came down especially hard on it

don't be fooled, there are quite a few places importing entire cars these days. i'm continually surprised by the number of rhd models popping up

the dmv has trouble with written english, so a title written in japanese couldn't be much worse

again, don't try to import (or even puchase) a newer skyline unless it's been officialized. the horror stories are too true
