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.

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...

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.

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.
