If it's on the list, then it's a matter of importing the car and performing the modifications needed to meet DOT and EPA requirements"
so find a RI correct?
"The car will need to be brought to an independent commercial importer, or ICI, and modified in order to pass the Federal Test Procedure, or FTP. The FTP is an approximately 11-mile dyno run that begins with a cold startup and is designed to simulate a whole assortment of driving loads and conditions. It measures emissions the whole way through"
bring it to an ICI and everything should be good right?

partially.....skylines cannot be brought through ICI's though. they need to be brought in by REGISTERED importers. which are basically the same thing but not...thats another matter. motorex was the only place able to legalize skylines. any RI can bring the car in, but the car must go through motorex BEFORE it hits public roads.
