however, with minnesota's lax emissions laws and general police/dmv ignorance, i'm guessing you wouldn't have much trouble bringing one over and registering it as a different vehicle, even if you were still registering it as an imported RHD car -- just not an r32/33/34 who's crash-testing data was paid for by a company in CA but made not publicly available so no one else can legalize the cars right now. there's a bit of discussion about this going on in the socal list right now because one of the members had his r34 seized and crushed and is suing the now-defunct motorex.

but saying that a RHD skyline is fake because your ricer friends haven't heard about it is pretty absurd.

Yeah, you get the gist of what I am saying. Not everyone with a supra/nsx/3000gt you name your high end import of choice, goes down to uni, and we haven't seen all of them on the road, thats all I am trying to say.

I would be tempted to get a canadian skyline and register it as a maxima, and do a vin plate swap (If I had the money that is) but I would still be worried about the one time I would get pulled over and they would think I was suspicious enough to run a VIN or do a more in depth check, and then my car would be gone, and I would probably be in jail. Not worth it IMO.
