An ICI such as motorex (also my company in a few months) can bring in a Skyline and change the front and rear bumpers for dot and go to obd 2.5 emmisions to make it street legal. There are far more than 3 companies doing it, Motorex has the biggest sign because they have been paying magazines for a while now to be the only ICI listed saying we can get you Skylines, others have been bringing them in for years either ligit or illegally. You can also register it as an altima if you know how to, calling it a conversion (flame if you want seen it a few times in Cali) the same as I have been seeing Silvias in the country being registered as S13 and S14 240sx, just have to know who to talk to and take the chance if you are willing.

After 15 years though none of this matters in the US and you can bring the car in and change nothing without worries of legalities. It is 10 years in canada and bringing a vehicle from Canada to the US is allowed, so you can actually shave 5 years off right there. I have seen a lot of R30's in the west and in Canada and it will only be a few more years before the 32 becomes street legal because of age in North America.

I actually saw this concept years ago (02 or so) and did not really like it to much, they tweeked the look a bit and released the 350z/G35 it was interesting to see that they changed it a bit more and are still planning on releasing. I have heard talks that the actual skyline as in GT-s and GT-R are being worked on for release here following the footsteps of Mitsu and Subaru who brought over their hardest hitters, we shall see if they do it since sales of the Evo and WRX did not do was well as they would have hoped,

If you ask me the Skyline is still a heavy car, Atessa is over rated but getting better and you are still going to have that terrible brake fade problem in this car as you saw in the 33 and 34. I'll still take the Evo III or IV over the Skyline any day.
