If you could get an R32 into the states for less than $15K, I think more people would have them. Seems fishy to me...be careful buddy, I'd hate to see a post about how all your money got scammed.

well i've read the replies on this thread. my question is, why not just get a usdm instead of jdm? u avoid all the shipping charges and legal fees and all those headaches. other than the wheel being on the right side, wats so special about a jdm z32? same engine and both are made in japan. if u were talkin bout a skyline then yes u might have a reason in getting it directly from japan. but there are alot of z32 availiable in us. idk, just my humble opinion.

Well guys I live in Japan and I did research a lot into bringing cars into the US. There are a lot of restrictions so if you have the cash to pay for one of the existing cars still running about then you best do that. Otherwise...$$$$$


Here is an interesting read if you are up for it. Try reading into what it means as well as the literal.
