wasnt spencer suspossed to tell me all about this. :P
yes, you are right, but they dont have to be in stock form. they must be "clean and operational" not leaking any fluids, or any signs of leakage. nothing mechanical can be rusted or any signs of rust. any alum. parts must not have any corossion on it, brakes and all fluids must be 100% new. some lines must be brand new, lots of ----.
i can get you some links if needed. (ive been studing this ---- for the last few months now...)

and hebelect, there is a base line skyline, non-turbo, and i think its automatic also. your buddy is a fool for getting a non-turbo skyline. why ???

The cool thing about japan is there are 24 hour car parts stores as big as walmarts. You walk in, and they have a greddy section over here, a HKS section of there, once you get over there you'll realize how different a car culture japan really has. Alot of old buisnessmen driving skylines with big rims. Everything is turbo, you'll hear BOVS everywhere you go. and frank, its not so much the process of getting your car inspected over there, it's the cost.

The inspections fees only start getting costly on older vehicles. You need to really love your car over there to own something more then a few years old, thats mainly why you only see modded and well taken car of cars. Nobody drives junkers over there.

LOL the rims on that Civic make it look like it's running spare tires all around. The yellow strip would be the label that says you can't go over 45mph and no longer than 50 miles on the tire.
