ok here is the low down from what I have gathered from friends that have actualy done it this way...
basicaly they dismantle the car over in japan the required 10% (which is mainly the engine and transmission removed and crated/ put in trunk) and import it
then when over here and through customs which then is labled a "kit car" they reassemble it and take it through the inspection process that a Kit car goes through to be legal to drive and in which is then titled as a Kit car
the downsides to doing that is trying to get financing for it cause of the kit car label attached to that and also insurance is an issue for the same thing
but it can be done and has been done for a long time now and is a legal loophole of sorts
one of the guys I know has a R-32 GTS-t rwd skyline and I have seen it so it can be done
