There was a company that was importing BNR33 skyline GTRs (approx. 1995) and I think a few BNR34s too, they claimed to do all the testing, invest money in getting DOT approved headlights and windshields. As it turns out they faked it all and were just re selling the cars as is for a huge profit. There was a whole bunch of seizures and legal action, I bet this story is something similar. If I recall correctly though the DOT decided not to go after the buyers who thought they had a DOT cert.
And people were willing to pay a huge mark up for those cars. Well they are certainly not fuel efficient they are amazing, I had a BNR32 which is legal to import as Canadas "classic" import rules are 15 years old vs the US 25. My best tank ever was 11L/100km, avg was 12.5. It makes me wonder now what I could do with that car.
