IIRC, this doesn't work. The gov't has seized shells for "intent" to reassemble it into a skyrine... I'd say the best bet at getting away with it would be swapping an SR, JZ, or LSx, and getting an assembled vehicle title from your state. If you've already assembled the car with the running gear from a different vehicle and gotten it state titled as a kit / custom, they're going to have a pretty hard establishing intent.

Problem is, they still get to do what the fuck they want. There's nothing stopping them from taking your car and crushing it... you just might be able to sue them for damages if you can prove that they weren't justified in crushing your car. So... better get a good legal team if you have a skyline.
