- Shipping My GTR to the USA via the US Military. The day has finally come to part ways with the GTR...Not forever but for a few months while it gets shipped across the Pacific Ocean. Luckily I won't have to pay for the shipping fees because the military will pay for one vehicle to be shipped to my next duty station. This video is more to cover the process for other military members and document the condition my car was in when it left. I hope you all enjoy!

MONKY LONDON woooo when is it meant to get to you?
NOM NOM, keen to see more 1j on the channel and glad you watch old mate too!
Dude - will have to follow your experience on that. Really want to grab myself something from Japan soon enough.
MONKY x YourCarBro
alrite ML. 1 of your subs here . Mrs MLs roll cage is looking sick as Bro ! Are yous keeping it the same colour . hows the wee civic not saw it for while . All the best fae Scotland
I just picked up an R32 two weeks ago from a returning service member. Thanks for the vid, it gives me a better idea how my car arrived here.
No problem man!
Wish us older guys had the opportunity to ship a ride from Japan in the older days. Great too see you getting ready to get on that freedom bird to come home, have a safe and great time on your travel back.
Thank you!
Sad day as this really sets in that the japan videos will soon be ending but we will all keeping watching of course. Hopefully yoy go back one day
I am leaving for Nagoya today so there will be some really awesome videos coming soon :)
That feeling of picking up your car from the port is amazing. Still brings me back memories when I shipped mine 3 years ago.
I can only imagine
I remember seeing your channel a few years ago when your car was green, funny this even popped up in suggested videos as I am looking to import a 4 door luxury car as my new dad mobile. This gave us a great insight into the Military side.
First, thank you for your service. Second, really nice car man. I just bought an R32 white also Grade 4. Really nice to see more of these great cars coming over to USA by folks that love them. I would suggest to you to tackle the rust issues around the windows and everywhere for that matter before it really becomes out of hand. If possible garage store it away from the rain, if not possible then a car port will help. Good luck and hope by now you are driving it in your state. Stay safe, thumbs up.
Hey man, glad to hear you got that process over with and the GTR is finally going to be shipped. If i was in your shoes, it would be hard to choose only 1 vehicle to be shipped!
Just wanted to give you a quick shoutout, Spencer. Go ahead and have that thing sent to NC and I'll keep it in my garage until you're ready for it.😉
haha you know you'd be the one I pick to hold it Mick!
NC? I hope i see it running around!
I stay in Wake Forest N.C. drive it around here...
Hey dude watch like 20 of ya vids in one night, Japan is such a nice place and you display is very well, love the channel bro, keep it up
Looking forward to the auction and garage defend vid!
A thousand Yen is equivalent to only $9.33 USD.... wow
Great info to share for all those deployed bro. Now I know what to tell my daughter in case she wants to bring a car home when she rotates. Thanks again a blessings to you and the family.
Thank you!
Awww... I remember bring my AE86 there. Bittersweet. Safe travels during your PCS!
Definitely bittersweet! Thanks man!
Were you able to register it in the US?
Very jealous you own an r32 brotha! That’s my dream car one day when I phase out my s13. Shoutouts to you from California and thank you for your service 👍
Great video man . hopefully everything stays in 1 piece
Thanks man and I am hoping so
YourCarBro you're welcome
would like to see you document how you register it back here in states. gives us an idea what exactly to expect. Now I am really hoping to get those orders there lol.
i know this was 6 years ago but im glad you made this video now i have a good clear picture of what to do thank you! 🙏🏽
I’m stationed in Japan too currently and will be transferring end of June as well. I will be in the St Louis area on leave and picking up my car as well from storage. Will be cool to meet up!
Raymond Angsioco Does this process also apply to service members EAS’ing from Okinawa (leaving active duty)?
Thanks for your service!
Thank you!
Thank you for your service! I'm a veteran myself! I enjoy your videos!!
Thank you!
My pleasure bro!!!
Thanks for the info Spencer! The forms, road tax, and building 411 really helps clarify this crazy process.
I for sure feel your pain on the stressing about shipping the car. I’m starting the process of shipping my Soarer to the states via private party and it is for sure stressful. I’ll be happy when that is done. Best of luck with your trip I leave mainland in about 3 weeks to head to the states as well
Thanks man and good luck with your PCS!
If you’re doing private party how much is it?
Cheyenne Obregon well it depends who you go through and where it is going you could pay anywhere from $1200-$2500 for the shipping part.
Anthony Suarez yea I understand the sc is like the soarer which is part of the reason i imported the soarer... body parts will be cheaper and it already has the 1jz from factory. It is already rhd and has been driven by me for the last 2 years so worst case it is because its mine and i like the idea of me driving it in japan and now the states
Hell yeah brother coming to the stl buddy I would like to meet you and see your true jdm skyline let me know please and thank-you for doing your service
Thanks man! I will post when I am heading that way.
Thats pretty clean dude hope everything goes well! I imported my r33 and they did some damage on shipping. Hopefully you get more lucky
Heading to Iwakuni for 3 years definitely trying to get something nice and send it back when I transfer
Im into turbocharged V8s and diesels but enjoy any high performance car . I think its awesome your getting your dream car imported back home good for you
Make sure you take it to the tail of the dragon on your trip from MS
Yeaaaah boy!!!!
Murica bound!!!!!
Hey y’all watch this things
Sammiesurfer4u in the house!
awesome man. Godzilla incoming!
Bryan Casella oh hey Bryan
Ahhh boy here comes a long trip for the Gtr!!❤Very informative video BTW you should make kinda the same one with garage Defend explaining how a civilian can do it!!😀
awesome info man. ill be shipping my Subaru in October and this really helped me have a sneak peak of what to do.
Great info and explanation!
Good luck with Godzilla in Merica and safe travels! It’s been fun in Oki bro.
Thanks brother!
This makes more sense in detail. Wont be going to Okinawa, but I'll be going to misawa!
They will probably drop it on Syria.
I laughed at this more than I should have...
They’ll probably just gas Godzilla
YourCarBro g'day m8 u have a new subscriber. keep up the good work ur gtr is delicious!!!!
A guy at Bliss had a white one like that one with same rims
I love that the AF calls it a "port call" as well! I love the image of all of the RHD sports cars heading for the states. You did a very good job of explaining the military process for shipping. Note to those who watch this and are getting "ideas"... There is no way for the TMO or Personal Property to know if you have a vehicle in storage or not. They will issue the paperwork on your word. But be warned, people (service members) have been caught shipping a vehicle while having one in storage. It takes about a year to catch up with the perpetrator but they all get caught when the books get looked at. If you have a vehicle in storage just get an exporter in japan and a broker in the USA. Do not risk your career in an attempt to defraud the government. If you have questions about shipping a vehicle from japan on your own dime please contact me.
Thomas How much is it usually to ship a car back?
That depends a lot on where in the USA you will be taking custody of the car. I can tell you that getting the car from Yamato, to Yokohama (the port), and then over to Tacoma, Washigington will cost about $1800. The time on the ship is only part of that cost. The tow truck to take the car to the port, the loading and handling fees, and the customs on the japan end all have cost. Once it gets to the states there are duties, fees, bonds, etc; everybody gets a piece of your wallet. by this point we are getting close to $2500. If I then needed to move the car to say Colorado, I would have to pay to have someone pickup the car from the port and truck it to that state. That's another several hundred dollars. Basically, there is no usual cost, and is why the government shipping is such a good deal if its available.
Yesssssss thank you bro
awesom man, beautiful skyline
Thank you!
I'm happy you're coming home but to Florida/Georgia and i live in Georgia that is exiting
i love the 86 so much
Hopefully nothing goes wrong 🙌 great video yet again bro!
Thanks bro!
Decent car! I love my R35 it’s 2 years old and such a great car!
Great car, thanks for serving.
Thank you!
Man this video made me miss Oki. Mainland just isn’t the same.
I'm in saint Louis would love to show up to the meet I have a 91 crx si
Sick man! I will post up when I will be that way.
YourCarBro alright cool I bet Japan was a cool place to be
Need 2 get stationed there!!!
good luck on the move and i hope the car gets to the US nice and safe man
Thank you!
Are you still in there until now? because since you got a couple of tomica premium cars, the r32 gtr and 2000gt toyota will be available this saturday if you still there then I hope you get the chance soon
That’s so awesome, my dream would be to get stationed in Japan & buy an S15 and get it shipped back to the US
I would've put a gps tracker in the car so I could track where it is during the trip lol
You can see where your vehicle is via tracker (gps) on the ship. (if it has one which is required)
MasterD4 smart idea
its common sense that a ship would have it already so no need
theres no chance the car would disappear while on transit, the only situation vehicles have disappeared while on a ship is when they have fell overboard during rough weather, all the other times they get to port safe and sound, only problem is if someone really likes your car and has the right connections, it might disappear at port :( thank god this car made it all safe and sound though.
Meet up in STL heck ya! Im about an hour from STL keep us posted!
Will do!
FYI street car takeover is on STL june 1st and 2nd. Big car show on the 1st racing and driting on the 2nd maybe you will get Lucy and you will be around those dates!
Good vid as always spencer
Wait dude your coming to north Dakota. Awesome also this was posted on my BDay
Be there in a little over a month!
A little late to the vid, but great vid and thanks for your service! As a guardsman, myself, i wish i could do this.
Thanks brother!
When you were signing your documents, did you sign it the old fashioned way with a pen, or did you have a jitsuin hanko?
Good on you brotha!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
that thin is so mintttt
Hey man I haven't watched one of your videos in about a month! Can't believe you're already shipping back! Just wondering because I didn't hear is the video you mention anything about what's happening to the Red Evo!?
The Evo should be sold in the next couple weeks
YourCarBro 😭 I'm sure she will be missed! How long is the shipping process from Port to USA?
roughly two months
Hope the GTR makes it stateside safe and sound man. When I had to pick my POV up from the St Louis VPC I caught an AMTRAK from Minot down to St Louis. Not sure if AMTRAK still stops through Minot, that was like 13 years ago.
Skyline aerial deployment! Lmao!
Ae86 Hachi it's not a freaking humvee
Ae86 Hachi Fancy seeing you here.
Titties O'Toole I get around a bit. What up!
Ae86 Hachi watching TST videso, while washing dishes.
Only thing that would've made this video better is to hear the GTR ripping through the tunnels of Oki one more time haha. Looking forward to seeing the GTR in ND. Buh bye for now GTR. As always, keep up the great work bro!
Shipped my car from Hawaii to Cali and now I live in Arizona. Safe to say I’m the only
One rock in Hawaii license plates in Arizona lol. Army ships for free...
Gotta love it
I'm guessing you got your car I saw it at the Port of long Beach this week did you see the 70s gtr clean car dude
Not my car! Mine won't be going to that port.
OH SHIT I LIVE THERE... STL
looking forward to seeing you in the states! hopefully you'll find some sick stuff to video, maybe formula d?
Definitely videoing FD in Atlanta this year!
Congrats bro
Thanks! My brother is also based in Okinawa and is retiring next year. He's planning to import a car also. Where is the best place to look for a nice GTR like yours in Okinawa? Did you get yours in mainland Japan? Any info is greatly appreciated.🤙
I wish they put u in san antonio, the base they have. U would fit in with them other skyline in texas
Nice car very clean whats your best time driving it
Do a thorough inspection on pickup they flat out destroyed my mega cab shipping it back from Germany, then only covered $1800 worth of 9k in damage
This video is really great my dude!!!!😀😀😍😍
hope it makes it home safe mate !
Thanks!
They don't take the license plate off the car before they ship it? When I got mine no Japanese plate on it. Bad thing I had to drill holes on my US plate to fit. I was surprised that my Skyline never made it in Carfax & Auto Check here in US. When i registered it here the title doesn't specify that it was an import & mileage on title looked like it had 120,000 miles & it was 120,000 kilometers & not specified. Last thing I had to change my radio as didn't cover all our FM band & AM Band sounded out of tune. Love the car though.
Sad to see it go😑keep up the good work my dude!! 💕💕
No i wasn't thinking that type of shipping Spencer it shipped via RoRo
Dude you ever coming back to visit Greenville? Would love to meet up at Cars and Coffee at Michelin!
I will be back in the area in May!
Cool man!!
Here in Canada, cars only need to be 15 years old. Its not uncommon to see foreign cars around here.
So we can ship to Can and drive it into US?
First seen a Skyline in 1998 PPV Imports vs American Muscle , then in the FF movies ..curious no one mentions the Original Retail price tag , of a 25 year old car...2002 R34 Brand New was between 42-50K ....serious mark up in pricing ...........
Definitely had to subscribe to your channel. Will you drive by Kansas City Missouri on your way to North Dakota ? I don’t think I can make it out to St Louis 😭. But I would love to see your car in person!
When you gonna swap from the twins to a big ol single turbo or even to some bigger twins hell do a compound setup ha
We will see once I get stateside!
Very interesting video.
I could this video in my feed randomly and in the scene where you dropped off your gtr I just see my friends yellow fd haha
haha nice!
sick! what's your AFSC? I'm waiting on MEPS so I can join and I'm putting kadena on my top list
Good luck! I am 2w0x1 which is Munitions.
Why do you prefer the r32 over the r33 ?
Dude, I’m honestly hoping your pick up date coincides with our annual car show on June 30th.
Super helpful video! I have been getting told many things about possibly shipping a car from Okinawa to the US but this cleared it up very well. Anyway where did you buy your car? Im stationed at MCAS Futenma and I want to buy an RX7. Was hoping you can point me at the right direction.
So what about all the admissions stuff
Are you aware of any changes to any orders that would keep us from being able to export cars? I’m in Oki as well and I’m going to try and export a Supra but I’ve heard rumors of a new order that would prevent me from doing so
Aye I'm from St. Louis! I'd love to meet up whenever you come to grab the car.
My buddy shipped his mint 1993 R32 GT-R(26k miles) stateside via the military in March of this year. I was buying it from him after it cleared customs. Well the dock workers in Baltimore, MD promptly totaled the car while unloading it from the ship. It was a nightmare. Took almost a month to get a payout from their insurance. They only gave him $16,400 for it.
bye bye gtr~
I will miss you here
so cool
Ah finally found the video I’ve been looking for. I hope I get orders to Okinawa so I can soon get myself an r32 or mk4 Supra. What’s the process to get a pov in general?
Super easy process!
YourCarBro sounds good man
That's a good way getting it shipped out that plane,drop it rite in of front of your driveway and waiting for you😂🖒.
What are the odds Bro!I'm actually moving to Arizona around the time you're supposed to getting the GTR (Mid June) so if you decide to throw a car show hit me up.Ill be driving from NYC to Arizona so I can might stop by.Hope everything works out bro!!
Bon Voyage GTR! Just curious, are you going to continue making vlogs once you're States side? Have you thought about content? I enjoy your stuff and I'd hate to see it go away.
Yes he said this is a previous video th-cam.com/video/aWkdj0QFxTM/w-d-xo.html
Awesomeness
Can you say GTR Invades America, if there was an air drop option!
MrTradeTroll Godzilla invades America
So is your wife selling the Evo? PS: Customs is apparently slow as hell. Where are you being stationed?
