Pick it up in a trailer and slap any ol' plates on it and drive it across before you get to the border.

How do you know this because? I may be wrong but i believe the system cannont be surpassed or breached in that manner. First off you cannot disassemble the car before it is exported due to canadian law, Second To export that many items you have to aquire special documentation regarding the vehicle(almost the level of a cnd buisness liscense) because the car on the documents will be listed as not elligible for any sort of inspection to get road liscensing(in canada) and last off the us customs wont accept the importation of any parts without the right documentation from the country it was exported from(this being canada)which in the first place i noted you cannot get documentation. The only way you can get the skyline over here is first find one that is not on immediate exportation(the 30 day limit) get a rb25 or rb26 swap(the engine that did not originally come with the vehicle)then in cnd allow it to be elligible to go for inspection. The smog section can be done before physical inspection is done(physical not being required for exporting purposes) then it can recieve proper docs to be subject to us customs as considering it a kit car after you disassemble it

I know this from a few friends who have brought cars into the states.

GO through all of the paper work, check out how the vehicle must be brought in the US and through customs, check out all of that. Go beyond the .gov site that everyone turns to with no luck. get ahold of a vehicle importer/broker. Motorworx is no longer in business so your fucked there. If you go across the boarder with a truck and trailer, buy the car, and I dont know why you couldnt disassemble the car once its yours. Your disassembling the car for purposes of bringing it through US customs. Thats how my friends have done it here. You can have a container with all of the parts to build a car and go through customs but you cant have a car thats ready to roll and go through customs.

Also, this is about bringing the car into the US. not about legalizing it. Thats a whole nother subject. You can completly disassemble it, bring it in, re-assemble it and then have it inspected for a kit car VIN number. Thats another subject.

If it were me, I would just go up there with a trailer and hope for the best comming back through. If they say anything, just say its a race car or some ----.

I was reading on that gov site that if you bring in a car as a race care it has 1 yr or some ---- then it has to be exported or destroyed.....don't quote me.....

Hire some ninja's to keep customs busy in the car in front of you so they dont notice you sneaking through.

I contacted them, and the importer.

The deal is that they will not allow YOU to drive off with the car, it has to be carried by a licesned, and bonded carrier for transport to an Export location. The Exporter said they would charge me 120.00 USD freight to blaine, but the problem is getting it apart. The BCauction people want it carried off to an importer, and the exporter does not do that. This is a rock and a hard place situation. The only way to get THAT car into the states is through a licensed import broker ie: Motorex or one of the companies like that. If they would let YOU drive it off the lot, you would be ok. However since they wont, you have to have it transported to a place that is going to do "the work" to get it DOT/EPA approved, and noone I found would just let me tear it apart myself. They wanna do it, and they wanna charge labor blah blah blah...

Bummer deal really :/

Damm to bad its still only at $2000 CDN too.This is when you need some shady business owners/friends to help you.

the people here who have done it tear the car apart themselves. -they load it into the container per the importer/brokers requirements and then the importer/broker meets the container at the port, do all of the paperwork and then they put it on a truck for you and away it goes.
