It would be best to do the following
1) Go and Pick out the GTR you want in Japan BECAUSE 35% of the GTR's in Aussie ARE STOLEN from HK and Japan and I have found that most of the VIN# have been HACK JOB's
2) talk to GEORGE Sr. 714-545-9503 at G&K conversion They are the ones who do the conversion for import special cars. and are 100% certified ICI
3) Ask them for the Emission sheet of paper that tells you the SPECS on what s is allowed for the GUIDE LINES of Meeting the EPA requirement of the Certification for the TEST BECAUSE you will be FUCKED if you buy a Modded car and it Fails the Emission test and that means you will need to take off all the Modded parts and replace them with the stock parts to make it pass the EPA test.
when I mean ask them for the EPA paper this will tell you what are the requirements for
a- cold start emission test
b- Rolling dyno emission test of 15mph and 25mph test
c- Idle emission test
d- 1500~3000rpm tail pipe emission test
and while in Japan you can get this done by any LEGAL DEALER because they are supposed to give this information to the buyer of the car it really does make sense to do this prior to importing the car because if it does not meet these tests you can say your FUCKED with a CAR OVER HERE AND it will cost you an $$$$$ to make the motor stock so it would be best to get A STOCK GTR SKYLINE from an old person or a Reputable DEALER in Japan or NEW R34 from Nissan Japan.
if the shop or dealer that wont do this , then you can say you have saved $$$$$$$ and a TON of FUCKEN problems
send this information over to G&K and They will tell you if its acceptable or not .
