Did you guys miss the link for people in the US? Here's what it says:


If you are in the US :

Firstly, the Japanese specifications (JDM) vehicle is a Right Hand Drive model. And it is difficult to import it into the US at present.

Unless you wish to present crash test data for any Right Hand Drive car, it cannot legally be imported to the US. And we do not support to present crash test data.

It is possible to import of JDM cars under regulations regulating these cars to race(competition) use only.
Race cars cannot be registered for street use.

As for the Skyline GTR, it is possible to import the only Skyline GTR into the US for street use although it is necessary to legalize the skyline to use it on the US road. The cost to legalize a Skyline GTR depends on the year of vehicles. There are also some conditions on some of the year models and where they are coming . But generally, the legalizing cost of a Skyline is
1990~ R32 Skyline GTR - around 16,000USD.
1995 R33 Skyline GTR - around 17,000USD.
1996~ R33 Skyline GTR - around 25,000USD (OBD2 system).
1999~ R34 Skyline GTR - around 25,000USD (OBD2 system).

Also, it is possible to import the old JDM vehicle (25 year or old) into the US.

If you have any questions, please let me know


You would have a VERY hard time importing this S2000 into the US and getting it registered to drive on the street. It's not worth your time.

How did your neighbor legalize it? How much did it costs to make it street legal?

He bought it at a dealership. Someone else got it here somehow. I laughed when I saw it until he took me for a ride in it. It looks like it has a ricey body kit on it but it is stock.
