Don't Tread on Me: A Petition to Change Vehicle Import Laws

That is not why you can't bring in a Skyline. You can take "European Delivery" for many luxury cars and get a cheaper price and a vacation right now. It hasn't been banned or made illegal. Its on the manufacturers website's so I don't think they are apposed to it since they facilitate it.
The reason for not being able to import them is because many models do not meet the minimum safety requirements for the year they were manufactured. The few that can be imported legally are because they meet these requirements and someone with a lot of money and a insane love of these cars paid to crash test one.

If you want to import other models you have to design and install the appropriate air bag system and crash test it. You can still import them for track use though.
