VERY expensive to import an entire foreign market car that hasn't been certified for the US market. If it were not, there's a huge number of cars that would be flooding to our shores. Motorex did exactly what you want to do with Skylines, and I think they went broke doing so.

On the upside, you can make a small fortune importing Japan-spec parts for Japanese cars, especially the rare stuff. With the current tuner crowd, JDM is gold. There's also some cool stuff for euro cars that didn't make it here, like e-code headlights, different seats, wheels, etc. Anything OEM and unique that didn't sell in the states is worth money on Ebay.
