The S15 you are thinking of (white one) belongs to a higher up in the military who was stationed in Japan for a while and purchased it while there.
Importing JDM cars is like Voodou, you either know how to do it and can...or you don't.

Street legal has nothing to do with it either. If you even have one it can and will be taken away.
This is nothing against you, the internet has given everyone a wealth of misinformation regarding topics like this.

Come to the Northwest Nissans meet in Marchish I think, and well all the guys from Canada come down, one time I think I counted over 20. They are boring now though that's the sad part.

There are many more reasons but those are some of the big ones.

R33's manufactured between 96-98 are legal to import, but you must have an ODB-II retrofit. There is actually a company, DriftTuners, that is posting on NicoClub that they can do it, everyone is calling BS and we are all waiting for them to show proof the car that they said they got through with the DOT paperwork.
If yo want to know more about the North American Skyline Drama story it was in an issue from 0-60 a few months back, there are some scans online somewhere.

If you want an S15.. There is a way. And there will be more ways soon..
This company;
http://www.kaizoindustries.com/
They are taking Unibodies, bringing them to DOT specs, and bringing them over. You can register them as kit cars, once you install your motor. They are getting their own Kaizo VIN and MFG info.. etc.
There is a unibody for sale in Cali, I think for 23k, it's on Zilvia.net
They have also done EVO3's, R34, etc.
End Threadjack.
