theres a lot of stuff that goes on with customs, getting the car shipped is no problem, but now u gotta worry about taxes, customs, and dot, customs will try to find a way to send the car back, they will get hte help of DOT in the terms of being smog legal and being able to comply with CARB rules, its a lot of paperwork and lot of patience, a lot of companies based in japan and australia ship hte cars over, but they dont help you with customs, thats the part you have to deal with, it will probably cost you about an extra 6-8g's for taxes, customs, and getting the car smog legal, the only company that i know of that helps with customs and getting the car dot legal is motorex, which is famous for importing skylines...maybe you should give them a holler to see what they can do for you
