Ok as for the watanabe's wheels they are out there just have too look for them just way to many FWD offsets sitting on a lot of RWD cars, a lot of the true enthusiast dont have money now to buy the right stuff but a lot of posers have come on to the scene lately.

It's been sold and its on its way back to japan
. got enough honda civic and ghey trade offers, not coming into here to under cut you in any way but the point of the 'crackdown' you speak of is due to some crack heads in canada using NAFTA IMPORT trade tarriff to side step USCBP and customs import taxes and in that case i'd like to thank the snake head who did this - good jerb a-hole. crack down for the most part was people importing/smuggling in complete vehicles. if the car was over 25 years or older it's not a prob.

Dude, seriously did you bother to check that car the rust it had let alone the engine was completely fucked it was and correct me if I'm wrong was just a very expensive resto project and for the most part any S20 powered Hakosouka & Ken/Merry is not only a pedigree Nissan classic but they present do present a hurdle to own one.
Hakasouka Skyline GT-R (S20 DOHC) - with original engine matching # to the fire wall tag - 20,000-35,000 - this is rough with rust and needing a lot of work
Unrestrored good clean condtion
Hakasouka GTR (DOHC) $40,000+
Ken&merry GTR (DOHC) $50,000+
perfect full 100% restored car - this is or would be a 100pt car.
Hakasouka $95,000-130,000
Ken&Merry $120,000
just for info a good condition S20 engine rebuilt to perfect stock spec
$45,000 just for the motor.
obscure rare one offs
Hakasouka 4dr (supercharged) there was only 1 special order made for export and I believe it's LHD as a one off.
