Congratulations mate! I'm here in the UK and when I can afford it I'm going to buy an AE86 sprinter trueno with this amazing guy and his company, will take some years yet XD
@@Teach-u7t most of the stuff came from the dealer in Japan. You just need the title and a translated certified copy of it, then all your import documents, a couple of pictures of the car, a verification of the vin plate by holding a piece of paper over it and shading it with pencil. And some forms the dmv makes you fill out plus the state tax on the value of the car. Then you just wait. I did all that pre covid and it still took almost 5 month for then to send me the NJ title of the car
Those younger car enthusiasts shouldn’t be mad at the Americans willing to pay for the parts. They should be mad at the car companies that restricted the sale of those cars to only japan. It’s been 25 years and I’ll be grateful for what I have but I don’t wanna hear any hate from Japan that others are willing to pay more because Nissan decided 25 years ago to not sell and r34 to the US. Blame the companies not the people willing to pay
You have no idea what you’re talking. The car companies aren’t the ones who restricted the sale to other Countries. It’s Mercedes Benz who lobbied for this rule because it was hurting their sales in North America. In the past, people that knew they could buy a new Benz from Germany and ship it to America for thousands of dollars less, literally did that. Benz didn’t like that and they lobbied for it and the us government change the rule to 25 years. Another reason was the US standards for EPA.
@@dohc1974 I think he's speaking more to the fact that Nissan and such had a hit car on their hands (Such as a Silvia or Skyline) but never sold it in the US to begin with as they did with the "Fairlady Z" or the "Bluebird."
In 2005, I was able to get my EF8 for $2600 Cdn in Japan. Landed price with taxes was $7500 Canadian. Lots of small fees but the whole thing was totally worth it. That price doesn't include the Out of Province inspection or registration, which was about another $200 or so.
Hey Everyone! I no longer do exporting but if you are wanting to find a trustworthy exporter contact my close friend Jeff at Jitsu Motors info@jitsu-motors.com I've known him for many years here in Japan. Tell him I sent you & he will look after you!
It's hard. They never gave us access to these cars or parts. So we are thrilled to finally have access. We need to find a way to support both sides. Jdm market could still benefit from purchases. Also some jdm engines were made here in Ohio and never sold here.
Hey Sammit. Still loving watching all your videos and seeing your life in Japan. Just a quick tip to maybe turn the background music a touch. Keep up the great work Bro
3K for compliance sounds very steep. One would assume the car is in a good mechanical condition before it is bought at the auction. Australian is so expensive compared to US not to mention NZ.
Im glad here in nz we have a 20yr rule but even here prices have skyrocketed! i think canada 15yr rule? and even i found the uk is buying alot of stock too. sad japan will run out now :(
Do you know anything about exporting to New Zealand, I know everything needs to go through the New Zealand transport agency(nzta) at any port in Japan, are you able to deal with them?
Could you do any car videos on cool hondas and their costs in japan? I see nissan, toyotas, mazdas, an cool gtrs an Silvia's etc. But wheres the vtec lol?
Hey sammit. i live in california and i was wondering if you know if a stock r34 would pass a smog test. to my understanding that would be the only way to make it street legal in california. if you know please let me know thanks!!
I have a serious question, once I get an R34 2.5 GT imported in the U.S. after it's 25 years old, do you know what the procedures are once the car arrives at the port? Examples, is there any fees you have to pay to get the car released to you? And should you get it registered and insured before picking it up? I can't find any videos or info on it. Just the same stuff.
Hey Sammit Americans don’t want the prices to go up. I’m sure some is supply and demand but for the most part it’s called greed. The Japanese raise prices on their own. You see all the car lots out in the country that don’t sell to Americans, their prices are not so bad. So America did not cause this. We don’t want prices to rise. I lived in japan for three years. So I feel your pain. But there are options. If you want cheap parts don’t shop near Tokyo. Go out in the country where they don’t have the means to ship to the US. Yeah you may have to travel a bit but if the price is right. I like your videos.
Hey Sammit, just wondering how to get in contact with a person to inspect the cars in Japan, whether it be you/your company or a third party person. Thank you love your videos
Went to the shop website, where, How & who do I send my 100 dollars car fee to ?? No pay pal account info??? I would like to get purchasing process started immediately, don't want to loose the Skylines I have Located.
hi sammit terry from s.wales, would appreciate help to buy and import Nissan to u.k. i am an old git not computer savvy at all? so do not now if this is the best way to get in touch, if wrong( o well ) as fleet wood mac said in the song where doze the reply come up
Not to sound cross about it, but the reason y'all don't have much stock left, is due to the locals doing exactly what you just told people that ship stuff from Japan to other countries, which is not to just blow it up & get another part shipped in...
How Do I Contact U Direct ??? Can We Get Purchasing Process Started Now !!! Again , There is No information Where To Send the Money ??? There is No information Posted on Okuta Website???
Abstract Studios How much would you estimate is a good amount to spend on a Suzuki Cappuccino and shipping to Long beach California? I'm starting to put my budget together for a car I've wanted since I first saw them.
Do you think the prices on Sil80's and 180Sx is going up? Whats your opinion on importers (RHDSpecialties) charging $15-18k USD for those type of cars?
What you think of the death at willowbank raceway? A guy crashed his modded Monaro and killed him and his passenger. So if all the supras, skylines, 180s and ect get too expensive, what will be the next cheap drift cars? I heard it will be the 86s and 350z, What u think?
It's a tragedy that 2 people lost their lives at Queensland Raceway. (Wasn't Willowbank, Willobank is the drag strip. QR is the circuit track behind the drag strip. Lots of media outlets have been reporting it incorrectly) From the information that has come out, seems like there was an issue with his brakes & throttle getting stuck. In all honesty I think it's an example of how the thing we all love & are involved in can go so wrong so fast & why it's important to make sure every safety precaution is made! As for future cheap drift cars. Probable E36's, 86's & 350Z's are where it's all going to end up. Fingers crossed that car manufactures make more RWD cars!
Me to, what makes a good drift car? (other than RWD and big power), and do u think they will be able to make a good 1 now a days because of necessary morden tec like abs and powersteering?
Hey is it possible to inport any versions of the skyline into portugal i have tryied to find out but havent able to find any details on it and it would be really awesome if you or anyone in the comments where able to tell me
I think the cheapest I ever saw one was $45k It wasn’t in the best condition was bayside blue with 150000kms and missing the front lip But never saw one that cheap again Now $45k will only just get you a gt-t I would never pay that as I have owned 3 and never paid more than $15k for one
Ok I've filled out your car search request twice . Where & How do i send the 100 dollars fee to ??? There Is No Transfer Information of any Kind !!! If im incorrect in my statement , Show Me ???
The Only Way an R34 will exceed $70-100k+ is if its fully restored or is in Mint condition. No one is paying a lot money for a 25yr old car, and still have to put more money into just to restore or modding it. Its not worth it. A limited spec I can understand
I wonder if I could make money or at least write off the depreciation by importing a JDM to Canada with the 15 year rule, then waiting on the American market to gain access to the model and then listing it for sale in NA... Seems like they expload in value when the American market gets access
All way too expensive. Imports will die off soon, unless they start importing cheaper newer vehicles like the Mark 2 e.t.c. Keep the prices down. Paying the 10k + for a car from the 1990's is stupid as it will need rebuilds, repairs e.t.c.
It's not on me being a "doucebag" Japanese car companies refused to sell these cars to certain countries and couldn't be arsed to make them legal for that country and still to this day do it, like the Toyota 70 Series it's the number one most wanted car in Europe but Toyota refuse. And when you are pushing Nissan Micra's & Toyota Corolla's and never have have the good stuff in you won't sell them will you. Kia don't have a stinger at the dealers, Hyundai i30N is not at the dealer, Toyota GT86 is not at the dealer, Nissan don't have Skylines or GTR's in the dealer. So no one is to blame but Japan and it's car companies they want exclusivety and they are doing it with the new Supra. They should be aiming to have the most amount of people driving one.
aint in a smart idea to go to your local car scrap yard and buy the rusted out chassis because they are getting rare and the price is going up? i mean buy em now and store em bone dry for another 10 years and then restore em? just like the engines? they say oil is running out but we use so mutch of the stuff that it already sould be gone. al lthings that died 60 bilion years ago to turn into our oil maybe running out but what about thier offspring they turn in to oil also and so on and so on. so oil almost cant run out
Yep if you can get a damaged and rusted out GTR with matching numbers for a few grand. That's worth keeping in Japan storage for 10 more years. Afterwards, get it in a container and imported legally. Once here order basically every new part available and rebuild the entire car. You should be making 100k-150k.
@@markm0000 been to two Beverley Hills mansions for parties both guys dropped out of school horrendous grammar. As for storage of cars in Japan. Extremely expensive.
If we here in Brazil were allowed to import used cars the customs tax would be 60% lmao. Rip. Well we actually can import used cars with more than 30 years. But rip anyway.
Stop fucking complaining about market pricing, it goes for everyone! What the fuck is the alternative?! More stupid regulation? No, right. Like all things in life, it's pay to play. Ask yourself why you want the same car as everyone else, is there more to it? Maybe look for something else, equally interesting.
They ruined it for all us Aussies. I feel for the Japanese people the most tho
