Wrong forum. Try the forums at www.freshalloy.com, there is a GT-R section.

Unfortunately, importing skylines has become history. Because of the Motorex fxck up (you can find the stories on www.freshalloy.com), it is now very difficult, may be impossible, to import a Skyline. There are still quite a few examples of US legal Skylines for sale out there though (some might not be CA legal, so watch out). Talk to people, make sure it's legit. You can give RB Motoring (www.rbmotoring.com) a call. They are good people who deal with Skylines and probably can answer some of your questions.

Good luck.

Is it the same way importing from Canada?

[drft89]

nope. Canada has a 15 year rule. so if the car is (i think) 1994 or older then you can import then into Canada no problem

[fast-datsun]

Same rules for Canada as everyone else...

[SCTrojans]

Too late now, but, yup, i learned the f**kin' hard way...$$ down the drain.

how? i know theres some legal things but there 15 year rule is just like our 25 year rule

Emissions-15year old car- no emission law
Taxes- 20 %
No change in driver arangment
Shipping about 1000-1500CAN
Broker- 500.

plus by now there are tons of company's that deal with this in Canada and already have tons of jdm cars to choose from

We have been exporting cars from Japan to canada for years and its a fairly straight forward process, there was also an article written about importing cars from Japan into the USA which can be found here http://nedrift.com/index.php?showtopic=2720 which gives some routes to use and info. Although more difficult it can be done and there are a couple of loop holes.
