Is Container the right method for a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R?

The Skyline qualifies under the US 25-year EPA/DOT exemption. Container shipping protected the rare R34 paint and allowed personal effects.

Did the R34 need any modifications to be road-legal in Florida?

No — 25-year exempt vehicles bypass EPA and DOT. Florida historic plates require the vehicle to be 30+ years for full historic status but 25+ qualifies for standard private registration with annual safety inspection only.
