Give my mate Paul a ring...
www.japimportsuk.com
Top lad, gets some great cars at great prices, and wont sell you shite like most.

Or www.powervehicles.com who get some shithot stuff at silly prices, well just tell em what you want and theyl get it.
Based direct in Japan so cuts out the middleman.

 

Jay,

My mate imported a Supra TT 6 months ago.. Found it alot cheaper than going through a middleman..

Will get details if you like?

 

£12995.00 for an Evo VI... I don't think that's cheap.

 

Errr....

This car you mean?



Did you care to read anything or look at the pics before you spouted your mouth off?

A Mitsibushi Colt with Evo6 running gear....

 

Mental!

What you importing?

 

That yours in the background Steve?

 

New Era Imports have a very good reputation.

If it were me though id do it myself and cut the middleman as said above. SVAing etc is no problem...

 

Yep! And Chandlers old wide-arch Pulsar there too, lol

Newera are good, but they know how to charge...

 

would be very interested in how you go about it yourself how you get contacts shipping etc.
I'm really looking for a skyline maybe an S14 or S15 but I am also quite interested in looking into importing and breaking too.

 

anymore info peeps ?

 

Japsupercars.com are good as well. John hasnt been doing it for long but has all the right contacts over there etc... I think he only charges £400 over the cost of the car/shipping/taxes/insurance to do all the necessary dirty work as well.

 

interesting thread this
