6:46 That's my car It was nice meeting you guys. I wasn't expecting to see you guys when i went over to pickup my car. It was my first time so that was fun. You look alot better in person and in your past video it sure did look like you weren't feeling great, glad that you are feeling and looking alot better than before.
big question, did you go through a customs broker? if you didnt can you guide me on the forms/paperwork needed to get out the port? (i already have the export certificate, translation and bill of landing) my customs broker decided to ghost for no reason and my car is going to be landing next week.
@@stevegonzales527 Your gonna need all the papers they gave you when exporting your vehicle. With those papers you will need to contact a broker(one that won't ghosts you) Sad that happened but they should have gone step-by-step explaining what info you will provide them and paperwork you will sign. 1. For future reference you will need to contact the port it's arriving and ask for an arrival notice. You will have 70hrs after the vessel leaves the port to send out your info to a broker. (I too learned the hard way but they where very nice and helpful to me) 2. With your B/L you'd get a number to identify your order and pay the port. 3. Because it's late you might have to pay 5k but since it's your first time hopefully you don't have to. 4. Have your invoice, japanese papers signed and your name typed out to email the broker. Not sure if it was necessary but I sent my documents confirming that I purchased the car to the broker. I thought I did my research but there's still so much stuff TH-camrs don't talk about when exporting your vehicle. I kinda want to make a video so that others know. I'm guessing people don't give out that information so that others would work with them to get a bit of cash you know. Try contacting another broker and using the U.S. Customs and boarder Protection website(That is if you are from the USA) There you'll find a number of agents that can help you. Find one in the area where you will pick up your car. Send out an email or call them letting them know your situation and that it's your first time. Send out all your documents, a picture of your ID, SSN, and other proof of US citizenship like a passport. They'll probably ask if your running a business you could use your name as a business or simply put N/A or None.
I also just got my S15, same color TV3 - Brilliant Blue. Also got a Spec R but I got the Aero package. Got mine from JDM Expo. Incredible experience. Glad to see another S15 to hit American shores! Should start an S15 club.
One of my many dream cars! I love vehicles from the 90s especially Japanese cars and I personally feel like that was when Nissan was actually top notch.
Randy bringing the 🔥 and great info content i knew it was going to be an S15 but a Spec R niceeee ! Definitely a blank canvas and i think its beautiful i cant wait to see what your plans are for it possible RB swap hmm 🤔 😁 and as always may illiminate reign forever 🙌 and keep up the great work 👍
I love watching you i have been for so long and the reason i really enjoyed watching you is because your just like my older brother that i rarely ever see
This port and I'm sure other alike you'll need TWIC, Vest, ID, and Documents of your vehicle. Have to make sure you're car is good for customs before you can get it.
I love seeing the notifications of a new video dropping it always makes my day to see a video from you hope you’re doing well and you make me believe I can own a car like your one day 🤍
Thank you for making this video. After talking with Matt on the phone, I finally feel like I have contacts I can trust to get my dream jdm car to California. I can't wait 😁
vertex body kit cant go wrong ,its clean, not scatchy and looks sporty. the car will need to go low and big rim. A JDM RIMS ....The colour is yours choice thou
I was talking with my co worker that used to watch your content and I’ve kept up to speed on illiminate journey. I told him you’ve grown so much that now you import your gf from JA Pa n
i think it would be actually sick to just restore the s15 and make it look like brand new oem car. aaaaand as a miata fan that nb1 is pretty damn clean.
What’s the difference between exporting new vehicles or 25years old vehicles ? Or How can I export into the United States new vehicles? I never done that before and I would like to learn, I will greatly appreciate your answer
I've been looking at importing a Prado 78 and will definitely reach out to the contact in this video. What are you going to do about registering your vehicle so you can drive it in California?
perfect timing. my customs broker started ghosting me and now my car is 1 week away before landing and now i have to rush to see what paper work is needed to pick up my car.
Im still curious whatthe cost is like.. Nobody ever covers costs.. I dont mean cost for services im talking cost for shipping and what people charge for finders fees etc etc.
So how much money would that all cost? Let’s say I want a s15 like not even perfect condition maybe like yours how much would it be in total? Like with car and importing and all that stuff
I’m thinking of purchasing a Celica GT4 from cars from Japan to Long Beach. Where are you guys registering your cars? MN? I have an IL address. Can I just register it there to bypass the Cali CARB/emissions and smog etc? Thanks
Why are people ao concerned with stuff that doesnt even matter to them in the slightest, bro can be or do anything with whomever he wants and doesnt owe the slightest explanation. Live and let live
? U said not to register ur car that u import from Japan but if u don’t register n California how can u drive u have to have California license plate to drive it here don’t u I always wanted to buy a chaser but the dmv said u have to have California license plates if u live n California if u register ur car n a different state I won’t get pull over for having different states plates
Anyone else try to buy to stuff for entrees but it wouldn’t take your card info, I’ve been trying for the past 3 days to buy entrees and it won’t let me
Randy can u help me with that ? Please 🙏 u said not to register a car here n Cali cus s to expensive so how can I register n a. Different state with out getting pull over 🚔
Randy I've asked this before ever since your video on Illiminate and how everyone went their own way but are you still keeping the illiminate branding/logo? Will the name change eventually?
Bro I think they are shadow banning your content.. I was waiting for an upload. Went to your channel and you had 5 new videos up?? Would explain the view count being so low aswell.

I need more of these port videos, it's always interesting to see what comes in. That mini looked mint 👀🖤🌸
I also just got my S15, same color TV3 - Brilliant Blue. Also got a Spec R but I got the Aero package. Got mine from JDM Expo. Incredible experience. Glad to see another S15 to hit American shores! Should start an S15 club.
Build another stance car thats what started it all and would be dope to see it again 😔 drift cars are cool and all but that would be awesome
And before anyone tries coming for me, i have a drift car myself and a stance car. Just miss the stance videos lol as im sure some of us do 🥹
One of my many dream cars! I love vehicles from the 90s especially Japanese cars and I personally feel like that was when Nissan was actually top notch.
Love the vids Randy you seem so fun to be around 😊

love the vids, you got me into JDM cars
an s15 with candy green paint/ wrap on chrome wheels would be super dope
I love watching you i have been for so long and the reason i really enjoyed watching you is because your just like my older brother that i rarely ever see
As a truck driver I need to have my twic card to get on the port. You guys don’t need to have it to just pick up an imported car?
This port and I'm sure other alike you'll need TWIC, Vest, ID, and Documents of your vehicle.
Have to make sure you're car is good for customs before you can get it.
Ohhhh another s15 for the Illiminate cant wait to see the mods yall put keep up the work!
Bruh fix the R32 GTR, S13, S14 first before buying more cars😭
Yeah i wish he would be more consistent with the build but the random vlogs are still cool
I love seeing the notifications of a new video dropping it always makes my day to see a video from you hope you’re doing well and you make me believe I can own a car like your one day 🤍
Thank you for making this video. After talking with Matt on the phone, I finally feel like I have contacts I can trust to get my dream jdm car to California. I can't wait 😁
Keep the stock body on S15 and paint it to original paint spec. Get the iconic spoiler with the triangle brake light
casually shows one of the MR2 spyders. I believe they only made 88 of those. so cool
2:25 looks like you're driving on Sepulveda since those roads are no joke with the potholes lol
as soon as randy said it became legal this year instantly knew it was an s15. heaps of them are going out of aus to the US too 😢
Thanks for sharing the jdm car import process! How much would an s15 like this cost to import to the US?
his gf giggles just like him it's so funny
Came for the s15, stayed and watch for Randy
vertex body kit cant go wrong ,its clean, not scatchy and looks sporty. the car will need to go low and big rim. A JDM RIMS ....The colour is yours choice thou
Awesome bro. Keep it up. Dam she cute learning in reverse 😊
wtf
I was talking with my co worker that used to watch your content and I’ve kept up to speed on illiminate journey. I told him you’ve grown so much that now you import your gf from JA Pa n
Same Colour Bro and keep it Clean with Wheels and bag it🎉
What website do you see listings for cars?
i think it would be actually sick to just restore the s15 and make it look like brand new oem car. aaaaand as a miata fan that nb1 is pretty damn clean.
So if you don't recommend registering it in California then how do you go about making it legal in California?
Im from Canada & putting some serious thought into a 04 Fairlady Z buuut i maybe overthinking a bit much as im not sure on sourcing parts...
I have two RHD japanese import cars, and I really enjoy them. Inconspicuous cars, such as a 1995 CRV, and 1992 Toyota Windom (lexus es300).
What’s the difference between exporting new vehicles or 25years old vehicles ? Or How can I export into the United States new vehicles? I never done that before and I would like to learn, I will greatly appreciate your answer

Congrats on the new cars illiminate
Do a video on the best way to register and drive in cali.
perfect timing. my customs broker started ghosting me and now my car is 1 week away before landing and now i have to rush to see what paper work is needed to pick up my car.
My comments keep getting deleted.
I give all the info but they never show
@@Alex-vz2jz all good brother appreciate you trying to help!
What about registering? That’s the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger. SoCal resident
Im also a socal resident, you got any connections? Im trying to import a EVO 5.
@@awesomedude65 nah man never really got a clear answer besides move out of cali, the ones I asked that have done it out here are gate keeping
@@jaywatson721 thats a shame, I plan to moving to Texas next year anyways 🤣
Clean stock body with fresh blue respray

Im still curious whatthe cost is like.. Nobody ever covers costs.. I dont mean cost for services im talking cost for shipping and what people charge for finders fees etc etc.
Im in Tacoma WA if anyone wants help, btw the car fits her well lol
So how much money would that all cost? Let’s say I want a s15 like not even perfect condition maybe like yours how much would it be in total? Like with car and importing and all that stuff
video suggestion: u should teach homegirl how to drive a manual

If you get one get the NA, pop up lights beats everything
You should definitely get a Miata NB!! Such a great car!
w matt for getting an nb, and actually in japan the 2nd generation “miata” aka nb was called the mazda roaster not eunos roadster 👍🏻
I dont know the import laws, would it be possible to import a 2003 subaru legacy b4 2.0 gt?
What about the CA emission laws, the ECU and what not? Would it pass that part of the smog check, the jdm ecu
Register out of state or have it listed as a historical car
I think my Chaser was on that boat. Got dropped off in Tacoma in mid May. Boat name Lily something I believe.
i hope 2 years from now you guys are doing this service. I want a Chaser
Are you only allowed to import used cars? How about new cars?
? U said not to register ur car that u import from Japan but if u don’t register n California how can u drive u have to have California license plate to drive it here don’t u I always wanted to buy a chaser but the dmv said u have to have California license plates if u live n California if u register ur car n a different state I won’t get pull over for having different states plates
I do all their WiFi and security maintenance for that terminal. 😅
Should help me import an s15 spec r 😭

Anyone else try to buy to stuff for entrees but it wouldn’t take your card info, I’ve been trying for the past 3 days to buy entrees and it won’t let me
