You're from Canadia, you don't count



yep
NHTSA has determined that the R33 Model Nissan GTS and GTR ("Skyline") passenger cars manufactured between January 1, 1996 and June 30, 1998 are eligible for importation and has assigned vehicle eligibility number VCP-32 to those vehicles.

That is the most current information. I even posted a link a few posts back. Was original tacked under VCP-7, but now there a was a huge review a few years back and the new rule is what I posted. I can actually post a link on the transcribed comments and conclusions on the review and acceptance of the certain year R33's if needed. Very difficult to follow and pretty much a waste of time though. If the NHTSA states that those are legal with a tremendous amount of mods needed to conform, then ICE kinda has to follow that. Whether or not they do in that instance, that is what attorneys are for in court later. No different than a police office can arrest and throw your *** in jail for what he seems fit, but you can walk in front of the judge later and get it thrown out.
