I can't help on the private import laws but why not just find an IS200 in good body condition with 200k km+ on it, bring in a front cut RS200 and convert it?
I'm sure you can find an IS200 for around $25,000
a front cut will cost less than $10,000, find the LSD and convert.
It depends I suppose on your intentions for the lease are you going to get the car at the end of the lease? if so you can get a novated lease and basically when you get the car get a major service done (involving an engine change) and put it on the lease. I was looking at doing the exact same thing a short time ago and could have got away with it. But a Ute is a more practical solution at the moment.
Other wise if you can get a private import but I think you need to own the car for 3 month (or whatever) In the U.S you need to own the car for 12 months and be in the U.S for 12 months before importing it.
