Yep 15k is about right. My buddy was going to try to get stationed in Japan and I helped him buy his camaro a couple of years ago so he said if i wanted he could look for a skyline for me and get it shipped back on a military ship for free. Still was going to be lke 9-11k for me to get it street legal. You can also get it registered for track ONLY which is alot cheaper but if a cop ever pulls you over on the street and see its track use only they WILL crush the car no matter what.

 

I dont know how much you're looking to spend.. But I know of a dude selling an absolutely SICK R33, that is already here, and requires (i think) 15-18 grand to make it street legal.

 

Yeah i didn't realize how much it would cost or how long the process takes haha ... i thought it would probably be around 8-10k. At a price tag of 15 grand i'd rather take that money and put it in a down payment for a brand new evo or something similar.

Even though RHD would be sweet!

 

heh, except for toll roads, drive thrus, ATMs, etc...

WHen I am not going to college I live and work in Japan. I live in a city called Kumamoto on the west island called kyushu. I rode in my buddy's r34 skyline a couple years ago and i was blown away.. it is 8000 to ship it to america and what you should do is do all of your requirements for import in japan and you will save a butt load of money. Depending on where you go you will save... on the mainland (honshu island) the Kyoto/Osaka area has a major city called Amagasaki-shi and that would be a sick place to get EVERYTHING. Kumamoto is big with mountain drifting (where it originated) and especially in the Nagasaki/Isahaya area.. tons of mountains. What does your dad do in Japan? I went to high school in Nagoya and then lived on Kyushu for 2 years as a missionary and then worked as a translator around the country and then taught english there until education called and went back to the states!

 

and passing on a one way road .... it would still be sweet though!


Hes a Department of Defense Contractor working for Northrop Grumman. I forget where he said he lives but i think it was the outskirts of Tokyo.

 

This is a little off-topic but hey this is the off-topic forum.

This is the car that my dad currently drives in Japan ... I rag on him pretty hard about it because who in their right mind would buy a toyota (van) spacio in Japan! with all the other cheap alternatives available ... oh well



But like i said he said he might get like a 1990 skyline for fun ... hopefully he gets it before christmas when i get out there

 

anyone in ur family part of the military??? i believe if u work for the military or w/e than u can transport cars over seas for cheaper..

 

Yeah i noticied you guys were talking about that ... My Dad used to be but he got out and started working as a DOD Contractor and I don't know if working as a DOD Contractor would give the discount but i'm definetly gonna ask my dad.
