Move to Canada.... live there for at least a year... wait a minimum of 4 months just to get the thing shipped over... then figure out a way to get it registered and get a title.... way easier said than done.

I know of 3+ GT-4's locally for sale that are already landed/titled/ready to be insured. 1 in very MINTY condition and is for sale on this forum as well, the other 2 are in decent shape and with a little elbow grease they would be monsters. And if you moved to Canada there is no reason why you cannot apply for a local drivers license within the first week of moving here. After that there is zero reason you cannot get local registration/insurance and own any 15 year old imported vehicle.

Yea Untill your local Vehicle inspections unit inspect you and get you for seatbelts not DOT approved, head and tail lights not DOT approved, wrong standard of glass and all this other crap that realy doesn't make a difference but they still make it so you can't insure your car.

I dunno about where you are, but in manitoba, they have been going crazy with that, posting there units on local cruise nights just bust street racers, which aren't even driving the RHD cars.
My buddy has an s14 silvia, he's had it for months now and he still can't get it to pass a manioba safety because no shop will touch rhd cars all because these inspection units have been giving out crazy tickets and going back to the shops they were saftied at.

And to the OP, how did you managed to import a car, in 03, that was not 15 years old?
