so, i want to import a silvia

[the_thom]

I can't seem to find anyone who will ship to the USA. I just bought an S13 coupe, but now I have changed my mind and would rather not just badge it

I was looking at this, doesn't seem to be all to helpful.. According to what I'e gathered so far I need to pay 2.5% duty tax.

If any of you GTR guys can help me out I'd really appreciate it.

Doing it yourself is next to impossilbe. Plus the freight will cost more then the car. Save your Pesos and talk to www.Skylineking.com Maybe if you pre pay he will bring you one. Or you can buy one of the S15s on the way soon.

Goodluck dude.. Have fun trying to register it....

from what i hear registering it in florida is much easier than anywhere else. not to mention it's not like importing a skyline. there is nothing similar to the GTR in the states. the silvia is pretty close to the 240.

Excellent, this looks like a good way to go. Just emailed him, I have no problem prepaying. I just hope he can help. :bigthumbu

got a reply from Skyline King, I thought he'd charge pretty penny, but not this badly.

He is charging the same price for a stock silvia as skyline. Pretty insane, not criticizing the guys work. I'm sure he knows what he is doing. But I found someone else who can import and prep it WAY cheaper.

I wont disclose his contact until I figure out how legit he is though. Maybe a couple of weeks.
