VERY dumb. So...my only chance is to get a rolling chassis. I have 3 other people interested, so it might be best to go to Japan and hand pick 4 of them, pull the motors and ship them all back to the US.

Probably a little steep for me right now, but I believe my cousin (who is my business parntner) may want to. Since he is in the US as well, you will have to remove the motor. Of course, he really wants a GT-R. I'll ask him though.

National....I can get a complete one in....but only temporarily. After getting permission each year for 5 years, I have to export it back out. And, I can only bring a whole car in as a racing vehicle. I won't be able to drive it on the street except for about 2,500 miles.

I'm importing for myself and to help my future business. But, I would think it would be easy to sell them in the US....there is definitely a market depending on how much it will be to obtain them. I'm definitely interested if you think you can supply them for a reasonable cost. I would think that a rolling chassis over here might bring $8,000-$10,000 US dollars. With engine installed and registered....maybe $20,000 for an R32, $25,000-$30,000 for an R33. US Dollars. Those are educated guesses...no guarantee.

Are any of these shells complete rolling chassis? Or are they all cuts? I would be interested in a full rolling chassis with no engine or tranny. Will you be willing to ship to the US?

I realize that , but it's the only way I can get one here legally.

Would you be interested in pulling the motor and shipping both to the United States in separate containers? Chris Nichols [email protected] AIM: midcnichols

Both of you guys throw up some pics or e-mail them to me at [email protected] with a price and a shipping estimate. I've gotten shipping estimates from GCT autos in Japan and they quoted me $2,100 to any port in the US. Seemed a little high...hopefully you guys could do better.

A complete car would be fine....just as long as it's not too pricey.

Must be willing to ship to the United States. Will do my best to make it worth the trouble. Cash and anything from the US you can't get in Australia...if there is anything. May also consider RB25DET, SR20DET, and RB20DET clips/motors if you want to get rid of them.

With the right tuning and some nice coated pistons and valves, I don't see why it wouldn't hold up for a long time.

Yes, it's Chris. I'm on AIM most of the day, so it's a great way to reach me. I'm very interested in getting a rolling chassis as I can always decide what motor to put in it. That would also give me a chance to finalize the details of legalizing it. All your ideas are great...thanks again for all the help.

I'm in Kentucky...yep...as in the chicken. It's considered the South, yes. You could pick up a nice Mustang or Camaro here to drive around . You never know...might like it. They're EVERYWHERE and the parts are CHEAP. The aftermarket support for Mustangs and Camaros is probably unparalleled by any other in the world. Haven't tried any Japanese exporters...don't know of any. Guess I should look into that.

One of my S14s has leather...the other one cloth. I do love the interior of the S14...very nicely laid out, but sadly, I have no Skyline to compare to The US spec Supra is twin-turbo, RX-7 turbo, MANY Corvettes, Mustangs, Camaros, etc. that are 10, 11 second 1/4 mile street cars. There are a lot of Honds, but not many are fast. The domestic cars beat up on imports for the most part because not many can afford the nice imports (supras, RX-7, fairlady Zs) Bowling Green, KY is actually the only place that Corvettes are built so there are a couple running around here. I'm moving to Louisville, KY in about a month which is around a 120 miles North. The scene up there is a little bigger due to a bigger population...but only has a 1/8 mile track compared to the 1/4 mile track in Bowling Green. I'm assuming you guys know what I'm talking about when I say 1/4 mile and 1/8 mile. Forgot we're the only people still using miles Damn Americans.

I'm actually in I/T and moving in a month.... I don't think they're going to allow me to work from home once I move, so they might actually be looking for someone.
