importing a car, especially if its right hand drive is hard to do. the shipping alone cost close to 5k and in most cases you have to hire a importing agent. You have to pass smog emission tests and if they dont pass you for whatever reason they will impound the car and try to auction it or they will crush it . I've heard of people registering imported cars as offroad vehicles but I don't know the exact details of that. All I know is that you have to go through a bunch of bull**** to do it. Good luck if you do it though!

yeah, it's really not easy. I did a lot of research on Skylines a while back because my friend wanted to get one here.. some of the cars have to have different bumpers on them, glass has to be changed... it's a real PITA!

IF you are in the military by chance and moving back though I believe it's much much easier.
