The steering wheel on the wrong side isn't the "us spec" problem your need to worrie about. Bottom line is that the VINs in Japan are different than the VINs is the US. Inorder to register the car you would need a company the is certified by the DOT to bring the car to US specs. Things like type of glass, head and taillights, to even structural standards can be different. It helps that the car is sold in the US less would need to be done, but a lot still needs to be changed. Whatever you save pricewise buying the car in japan you will spend more on import and conversion charges. It's not worth it for a car that is already sold in the US. I'd only consider it on a car not sold in the US like an R34 GTR.
