This is general information about importing the JDM car into USA :
As you may know, all Japanese Domestic Model vehicles (JDM cars) are Right Hand Drive. And, it is difficult to import JDM cars into USA at present except the 25 years or older model, race cars, show cars, and kit cars. It is because you have to obtain the approval from DOT and EPA in order to import the JDM car, and the car has to be legalized when it will reach to the USA port. Let me advise you that unless you wish to present crash test data for any Right Hand Drive car, it cannot legally be imported to USA. This is prohibitively expensive as a vehicle must be crashed to obtain the data (unfortunately, we are unable to assist to obtain the crash test data here in Japan.). Also the JDM car may not meet the USA emission standard. And after 1996 models need to install the OBD2 system in order to pass the emission standard. For your information, here is a link of the US importing information.
