And yeah -- R32's aren't that expensive.. i think you could get one into the US for 10-15k if you didn't plan on federalizing it. That's still big coin for something you can't drive and can't insure
You can get a legalized R-32 for under $18k. There are loopholes. And Progressive Auto insures Nissan R-chassis cars, as well as USAA, but not everyone can get USAA.

OK -- so a S13 or S14 is "easier" because nobody has to crash test it in the US if Nissan will say "yeah, that's just a 240SX of such and such year".
And, none of the cars we're talking about are 100% "legal" here unless they were a Motorex car (for skyline R33s), or if they were a Silvia that got Nissan to say "yes, that thing is fine".
Basically for a JDM car to be legit here, you have to go the Motorex route (for a chassis family that never exited here), or you have to convince Nissan/Toyota/whomever to say that it is equivalent to a model already tested/sold here.
Anyone have details on progressive insuring Skylines? That's quite a surprise.. they won't even do an agreed value policy on one of my cars..

I can't quite agree with the 100% legal thing.
IMO, it's one or the other. It's either legal, or illegal. There's no 'Ok you meet 90% of expectations so here's a US title.'
And like I said, there are loopholes that allow someone to reach 100% state legal ON PAPER, which is all that most people are concerned about. I can guarantee that half of the 'legal' R-chassis cars in the US are not truly legal, but if they have a state title, tag, and insurance policy, they are legal in the eyes of Johnny Law.
I know my post is kinda incoherent, but i'll try to break it down farther the best that I can if need be.

yep hung with him on saturday, i guess he bought it for 15000 and put 17000 in itWhere did you hang with him on sat?
He was feeding you BS if he said that. There is not 17k in mods on the car even if he bought it stock. He told me he got the bolt in case and rims, everything else was on the car. It possibly has a built motor, but if so, why does it have a shitty turbo setup(bottom mount stock turbo)

a good view on the Motorex story. RB motorsports also has a bunch of info on maintaining the Skyline's in the US with substitutable parts from US cars.
