i dont think RHD in USA is illegal, i see GTRs driving all around.... but 1 thing for sure to bring in RHD cars to US - is a waste of $$, the only car you may wan to bring in to US is the GTRs, and with the selling price of the GTR34 around USD80k after all the paperwork done to get the car in, i'd rather buy a brand new BMW 6 series or porsche carrera.
ppl bring GTR into the US just to look cool....or some now bringing in S15 just for drift - which i suppose they do it like when in malaysia we bring in cars from japan for track/drift only -- cannot register and not road legal.
well, DRFT 240, in the same way i think it is not worth to bring in LHD car into malaysia, first of all, you have to pay DUTY & TAX in cash, no installment, the moment u take the car out form the port, u pay duti & tax to customs. do some calculation, u'll find that buying an evo8 or S14 locally will not be really that expensive compared to bringing in from US....
just take evo as example -- used EVO8 in US now probably around USD28k, after converting to RM around 105k. that is before tax and AP, after tax and the money you pay for AP, shipping etc etc, it will come close to the price of a used EVO in malaysia locally - how much now? 180k??.... AND you still have a LHD with a lot of inconvenience....
just my opinion... ofcos if u have lots of cash and wanna look cool, then its ok..... :)
