Uh, Guys? (And Girls) - Easy GT-Four Registration Stateside, Why didn't we see this before? Options

[Espo]

So my buddy, who's been telling me my planned 3s swap is a waste (since I have an ST and won't be trusting myself with doing the work) just found out you can register a GT-Four stateside with no limitations. Now the only problem might be getting a whole one through customs and not a clip...but we do know about custom vehicle registration, right?

Since I live in New York, I found this: http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/homemade.htm

But...there are no kit car registration limitations, no...well really anything except lots of fees and waiting on inspections.

Seriously, this is plausible to do, isn't it? Why aren't more of us doing it? Considering a GT-Four used is probably cheaper than a swap any day.

Motorex was able to legally import the GTR33 Skyline b/c they performed DOT crash tests on them to prove that they were 'road safe' cars. This is why you can import an R33 legally.

Motorex got shut down b/c they were registering R32 and R34 Skylines as R33 to get around it. Unless someone wants to destroy a crap-ton of GT4s, Legally importing one involves more red tape than they are worth....
