Just my opinion but it is a Accord I wouldn't bother with it, I can look down my street and spot 10 of them. I would rather bring a car that people will be amazed, the Skyline is a different is that car

sell one of the cars and keep the other one there, then buy one here too, much easier

I understand why he wants to bring Accord over here. He got it for free, shipping is free, better quality (it wasn’t assembled in Ohio). If he will sell it there he won't get enough money to buy a similar Accord here.

I think you should contact some authorities like DOT or something like that. In Civic forum someone said that improperly imported vehicles are getting confiscated by customs and even destroyed. If your Accord is on that eligibility list you might have a good chance to bring it here and make it street legal.

wow ... the skyline looks awesome, before you send it over the ocean, be sure to get a LOAD of maint. parts for it, if possible.

Pack the trunk with air filters, oil filters, spark plugs, rotors, pads, and anything that might wear out.
