I drive a 2006 Honda Civic back and forth to the office everyday. Its actually pretty fun to drive for being such a "basic" car.
When I lived in Japan (Okinawa specifically) years ago, I had a 1988 Nissan Skyline. That car was FUN, even though it was older. (it cost me a pack of cigarettes... no joke). I was tempted to bring it back home to the USA with me, but getting it through DMV would have been a nitemare - if not impossible. I used to sit on the edge of base I was stationed on and watch the locals drift late at night. Technically, its against the law to even watch people break the law in Japan (contributing), but since I was on US soil, they left us alone. :)

That's pretty awesome.
As for your skyline, unless the model was originally sold in the us and crash-tested and emissions tested it needs to be at least 25 years old in order to be elegible for import...
So your 1988 skyline, since it was never sold in the US, only became legal for import last year.
With that said I have indeed seen members of the military manage to get illegal cars into the US through whatever channels that military uses (since I guess you can somehow bypass the normal port authority?) most states don't care if the car is imported as long as it passes the local inspection laws. The only real restrictions are at the federal level.

started with a 1994 Dodge Shadow as my first car, then I had a 98 Eclipse RS, then a 93 Eclipse, then a 97 Eclipse GSX, now I have a Scion tC. I was a total gear head (read: NOT RICER) with my eclipses. Bored and stroked the GSX motor to a 2.4 with a giant ass turbo, it got nearly 500 HP at the wheels, but after the SECOND blown head gasket I decided to get a fairly fuel efficient car that happens to have the same initials as me.
Warborg, HAHN still makes turbo kits for that car, night and day difference (had a STAR kit on my 98 RS) much better investment than a CAI.
