I know there's plenty of ideas tossed around here for ways of importing skylines and all, but i think i have one that might work, not sure though. I live in michigan and found an importing company in british columbia, canada. Now heres what i was thinking, if I were to buy the skyline there and trailer it to a storage depot, ya know the lil renta garage things, and spent like a week seperating the body, drivetrain, and suspension, then transporting them back to my house and put it all back together there. Because what im thinking is that im only bringing back parts into michigan, and then putting together a car (title and state it as a kit car), and even still my reason for driving it would be for track use only, and maybe shows, but it would be trailered to the events, but if i wanted to, in the NHTSA documents it states i believe that your allowed 2600 miles a year for that vehicle to be driven on the roads to events ONLY. let me know what you guys think, im dyin to tryin and ive prolly got another year or maybe less til i can start lookin more seriously to buy one but, i thought id get everyone's opinions on it. Below is the qoute that got me thinking bout the whole idea

So you ask how do I get it legit well take your "CAR PARTS" and put them together whaa laa A "KIT CAR IS BORN" GO TO DMV AND REGISTER THE CAR AS A KIT CAR as I did wow thats
it. NOW YOU HAVE A LEGIT SKYLINE! 100% legal! PERIOD! This works for any japanesse car not ever made for the USA-no civics, NSX, Supras ect. or any of the cars you see here in the USA. Here is the links for the EPA and where I bought my car: PLEASE PLEASE READ ALL INFO!!!
