There are other chanels to import those cars other than motorex. Motorex is a huge rip-off in my opinion and you can get a nice R34 GT-R V-spec in the country for only about $5,000 over the cost of the car, it just takes some careful research and some cleverness on your part. If you want zero hassles and don't mind paying the extra money, then go with Motorex, but IMHO those cars aren't worth $95K. I personally plan on importing an R-33 GTR within the next couple of years depending on where I study abroad.

I kinda like that they only come right hand drive. This won't be my only car and for a weekend car, right hand drive is kinda cool. White with the aero kit, gold wheels, lots of engine mods and a racing roll cage. Thanks for the heads up on other importers, I'll check into it.

Harry,
That ricemobile is actually pretty cool. Lots of tuning options.
But Jesus, stop messing around and just get a GT2 or GT3. Although the Skyline is a cool car, at the end of the day, it still looks and feels like a Nissan Silvia.

The extra money allows you to LEGALLY register and drive it on US roads. Motorex converts them to US spec crash testing, bumpers, windows, emissions, etc. Simply importing a Skylijne won't allow for you to drive them on US roads on a normal basis: ie, Porsche 959 problems.
You can get "special" permits, but you are limited on mileage and where you can drive. Just getting them through customs becomes a chore. One of my good friends bought a '94 R-32 from Motorex and loves the car. I can put you guys in touch with him if you have any questions. Ironically, he is thinking about selling his R-32 and buying a 964 3.6L turbo. Go figure.
