So if "it must be possible", then why are you asking in the first place? Do a search on the subject, and you'll see that yeah, sure it's possible, but not without a lot of hassle, money, and/or risk, leading right back to the question: WHY?.

It won't be legal. And in your case, Canada allows vehicles to be easier to import after 15 years, which now includes the Skyline's (R32 and before) and Savanna RX-7's that you mentioned.

This thread and all others concerning importation of RX-7s to the states should be locked/deleted.

To answer the original question. The cost of the conversion and the changes needed to make it legal to register would be several times the cost of a brand new RX-7, that is not including the cost of the car. For that amount of money, you can easily go out and buy yourself a brand spanking new, legal in north america Ferrari, Porsche (and I'm not talking about a piece of crap Boxter), Aston Martin, Jag or Lambo.
So yes, it is possible. No offense, but it makes as much sence as having your own F-18 Hornet for commuting to school, that is probably why you are getting so much !@#$ remarks to your question.
