importing s15
So iv been doing some research and could only find info on how to ship a full car and register the car for street use in the states and no info on shipping a shell with no motor and trans and strictly using it for track use.
Now has anyone done this personally? I just wanna know the actual cost. My guess around 6k for a rolling chassis. Remember I just want the rolling chassis and I'm not planning on driving it on the streets. Strictly track. BTW only looking for a rough estimate for spec s models for cheap OR a rolling chassis with maybe just steeles on. no windows or interior would be a plus.

S15s are hugely inflated for price in Japan .... GL on 6g for a Spec-R shell .... in Japan ready to ship much less landed in the US
Talk to Kunio from GTR-Garage ... he is a sponsor here

Oops I forgot to mention what model my bad, no spec R for me, most likely spec S auto or lower then that if nissan made it. I don't care what it comes with either. If it's cheaper to bring a bare shell then I'll go that route... but thanks ill hit him up for the info.

And there's no way you can get a rolling Spec R chassis for $6K delivered from the land of the rising sun. Oh and you might want to watch who you deal with while importing... |

google tradecarview and have a look there, you can find a cheap 15 for like 3k+, talk with the dealer and see if he is willing to ship to the states (not all do), for UK they don't use a container just load the car on the boat and that's it, the shipment is about 1200$. Don't know if they can do the same for the US.

If you ship that car to the US customs will seize it, destroy it and fine you. Unfortunately it's impossible to do it legally. There's grey market versions rolling around but it's not worth the risk. I wish it was possible.

^^^Wrong
Call the NHTSA they will give you all the information and paperwork you have to submit to them. you have to send in pictures of the vehical proving that it is not road legal and it going to be used stricktly for off-road purposes. If i remember correctly the lady told me two big ones was lexan windows and rollcages. get on the website or call them. |

Well the post was for "street legal"

Also if you import the S15 in a container intact the feds can confiscate it. For track / race use I'm sure you would need to forever designate that VIN etc as race only and never drive on the street. I wish that was not the case because I love S15's. There is someone in Florida that I see who's selling RHD cars, I'm not sure how he does it or what loophole he uses or if it's grey market.

With that being said: $6,200 $5,700 $5,700 $5,500 $5,400 $1,300 All of those were Spec-R in decent condition save for the last one that was a Spec-S. They went through the auctions over the last couple of months.

A better idea is to buy an '89 A31, C33, S13, S14 or R32 and have your self a Federally Legal import.

Yup, this was when the yen rate was sucking pretty badly. Nice to see that its above 100y again. Plus it came from Oki, I imagine it had to go to mainland first before it got shipped out to LA.
