What I would try is, once you find an out of state dealer that has the one you want, go to a local dealer here and have them buy it for you from them. Tell the local dealer you'll get it serviced by them for some motivation (even if you won't). I paid $700 to have it shipped up to me, which is less than the destination fee from the manufacturer ($790).

Keep in mind that 2014s are right around the corner, and even though Nissan didn't drop the price of the Nismo model, you should be able to drive down the price by applying some logic and reasoning to their recent price drop on the base model.
