If he wants to buy a skyline that did NOT come from Motorex, he will NOT be able to get a VIN and title from the DMV without Motorex legalizing it. Period, end of story.
Legalized Skylines are anywhere from $45k - $100K. The more common one is the R33 (easier to legalize). My friend has 3 of them for sale, all legalized and legit. They're all located in Seattle, at his house.

Everything else you read in this thread is somewhere between partially true and completely wrong.
Best of luck

Motorex is basically out of business, they own the intellectual rights to converting a car (DOT and EPA) and its not possible to "reverse engineer" one to find out all the pieces that need to change. Plus, you'll need to figure out all the connections and paperwork the fed gov't requires. It sucks, I wish it was easier for everyone else, but its not.
A couple times a month there's someone on the various skyline boards claiming to have the "in" and the backdoor, but no one has come through.
Sean Morris (tyndago on the boards) use to work at Motorex, and is the most outspoken person on the topic. From what I've gathered he's been trying for 2 years to get RBMotoring up on their own legs, but they're still not there. In the meantime VIPImports has 3 of them, starting at the mid-$40's I believe.
Some talk about getting it under a "show car" permit which has virtually no miles a year you can drive it. But if you get caught, you're screwed. If I were going to break the law to make it happen, I would just buy a totalled Nissan of some kind and start swapping VIN numbers...
At the end of the day, about all a person can legally do is go out and buy one.
It really sucks

There is many things you have to do to get a skyline legal in the us. Above and beyond paying the importation fees you have to get the immisions all redone. Here is some interesting info to get your read on ...

It is possible but you have to have REALLY deep pockets!
