If you read any Japanese car forums in US there is always a thread over importing ,etc.
Fact of matter is Government is only involved when car is at port. If you make it out of
port then really it all depends where you live . I have ID number for car assigned by state
and legally followed state laws and was inspected by police.There is no Government police
driving around looking for RHD cars. Sure Skylines has been confiscated but that was a well
know case with Motorex and involved many cars. I just saw a older guy last week driving a
Nissan Figaro ( 2 seater not sure if Figaro) which was RHD and had Florida plates. Florida will
give a title to anything with wheels so a lot of EBAY RHD cars have Florida paperwork. Most of
these threads are kids with 0 experience dealing with importing or "heard about someone"
getting busted . I am stubborn old guy so i don't wrapped up in internet chatter and go my own way.
Where i live in upper Great Lakes region we have no smog or MOT testing . Wheels,lights,seatbelts about all
you need to get paperwork for car. Trust me i have seen some rusty gems they lost the exhaust years
ago and tires are showing belts.
There is a old rich doctor in Ohio where i used to live who has same car as me and it was titled. He also has a
Toyota Century used by Japanese Government and a Nissan all directly from Japan . Met him at a show
last year but sadly brought his 4 door customized Bentley.
