Does anyone know how to go about importing cars and registering them in California? I am searching online but not getting any real helpful information. I even checked with the DMV but what was listed doesn't really make sense. I see people with Skylines registered in California and for sale. Even the insurance companys will insure them as if they were usdm vechicles. What the heck?


Nevermind I did find a source regarding the GT4 and importing. Though if anyone has or knows of anyone who has done this and has or can talk to them personally, I am still interested in hearing about the steps taken in doing such. The only thing that bothers me (Chastise me if you will) is the whole driving on the right side. Some of you may like that, I don't think I would, but I am willing to try it.

I tried to do it and even got the car to the Long Beach harbor. US customs is a bitc*. Best way find a good importer and let them handle it. And actually the JMD cars have evn stricter smog laws. They would pass a smog test if its been maintained, it just wont pass the visual test that required, certain parts JDM cars dont come with needed to past the test.
