BrIaN EG2 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 you guys are mean. steve at hmotorsonline can import them. he sells them for like 18-20k, though plus the importing fee. It has to go through the US DOT though right? when i was younger i was FANTISIZED about the hachi roku (LEVIN) and i wanted to order one but they told me i had to buy 2 so they could total one so that they could "make sure" it was up to the DOT standards... im just wondering, if thats not the case, i want a S15 lol!!! :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbith Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 All you have to do when importing it is make sure it passes emmisions... so ship it over in parts, label it as parts, and when you get it here, put it back togther. then find someone who can make sure you pass emissions..

James Matteu Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I tried to bring up this topic before, here. You have to: 1. Locate a vehicle in Japan 2. Establish a purchase agreement 3. Find a Shipper that can handle loading the car in a container, or hire a Transporter to drive it to the dock 4. You have to find/pay a Forwarder who will find/charge you for a Holder; they don't ship it right away, you have to wait your turn, and the container has to be stored and secured in the meantime. 5. Once the Forwarder has the vehicle stowed, you will have a Bill Of Lading specific to the voyage your container will be on. All Forwarders require that you insured your shipment. 6. If your container is not lost, dropped, overboard, stolen, or shipped to Europe; then it gets to sit in customs. Yeah, you have to pay another warehouse to hold your container. 7. When the Bill Of Lading is inspected and they see you have imported a vehicle, the government is going to want some money. 8. If you cannot meet the vehicle at the docks, you have to hire a Cargo Carrier to ship the container to your city. He will require that you insure the shipment for that portion of the journey. 9. Once you have your precious car, you can crank it up, but you will not be able to register it if it is not found on the list I provided above. You can pay someone to handle all the above for you, but it's like paying a concierge, an expensive concierge. If you or your agent do not follow the above procedure, it is considered smuggling. Uncle Sam doesn't like smugglers, Homeland Security doesn't like smugglers. One way to get around the above mess (and I'm sure you guys have seen this), is to have the vehicle cut into pieces and then shipped in crates, the restrictions are reduced as are the rates for insurance, warehousing, etc. You still run the risk of loosing a crate.

James Matteu Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Funny he mentions the brake and lamp inspection, I wonder if the lamps on the car are already stamped "DOT Approved" or if he will have to install a USDM set for the inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelticRacer Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 couldnt you just import the car in pieces and rebuild it here... then have it listed as a "reconstructed title" and all you should have to do is have the dmv certify it has been brought up to code...

94Civic Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 here this is what you should read it has everything you need to know. http://www.foreignborn.com/visas_imm/enter...tingyourcar.htm what you should do is find someone that is getting ready to come to the US from there and then just have them bring the car when they come. might be a little harder but it would be cheaper (free entrance into the states it looks like) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex37211 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I don't see the attraction of having a car from Japan. For less money, you could get a usdm one and make it faster than the jdm model. Or go with a completely different chassis and swap in the k20A. I'm not saying the jdm ones aren't good, in most cases they perform better. But an actual JDM vehicle is mostly a status symbol. The main allure of it is it's exclusivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh seeing that you live HELLA close to me and talking about JDM cars, have you seen the White R33 GTR with the CF bodykit, hood, trunk, and wing? Guys name is Zong and works at Fuji on northfield in murfreesboro (he used to drive a 475whp boosted ITR).. Now thats one SICK and clean JDM peice of ass right there (talking about the car, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
