Importing not to bad if u have the cash!! Banks sometimes don't like the process as they reguard it as unsecure, But the import company I used was Very Good with all the organising, he even shopped around and saved me $1600.00 on compliance with tyres. Like anything 'Good things come to those who wait'!! imho. Cant help u on a R34 as i'm still a newby to a R33. p.s Make sure you get plenty of quotes on insurance. There's a thread on it for insurance companies contacts.. Cheers
