Many of those vehicles have found new owners across state lines and there hasn't been any issues with transfer of ownership and registration. The owners have been specifically asked for import "documentation", which they were able to provide as they were correctly imported.

If the government hasn't moved in and changed the law up to this point what would motivate them to do it in 2014? Even if 1,000 R32 Skylines were imported into the US is 2014 they would only account for 0.0006% of total vehicles imported from Japan.

I'm not going to lie and say I have the answer to that. Also, doesn't the R31 fall under the 25 year importation because it is from 85-87 which is 25+ years, right? If I'm correct, we should legally be able to import the R31 Skyline without issues. But that isn't the case because it is still fully illegal here in the U.S.
