So long as it passes emissions and safety, is there anything (besides a mountain of paperwork) to prevent me from doing so? I'm considering moving... somewhere, and just thought it would be cool to be able to bring one back someday.

Yes, it would cost significantly more in another country, moreso than just buying an FR-S and converting it here, but that's not what I'm asking.

As long as a "number of years" is 25 or more you are golden.

Otherwise, it's possible (but illegal on the federal level, you can get them registered in various states) however if the government finds it in the shipping container, or anytime later on the street, it will be crushed.

Since it's not a skyline and is a common car here in other guises, it'll probably never be noticed though.

Insurance could be a bitch if anything ever happened to it also.
