I would be happy to have a look around for possibly suitable cars and show you a few examples so you can get an idea of what it will cost to import a car yourself compared to buying locally - please let me know what you were looking for specifically and what sort of budget you had in mind ... either send me a PM here or call after the long weekend when we are working at full speed again.

I used Jspec and would recommend them. I imported an R32 GTS-4 and they helped enormously. Just keep in mind that you'll need an extra 1k for rego, about 1k for insurance and about 1.5k for tyres (yes, spend the oney and get some good rubber) but you'd be paying this even if you bought locally.

You'll need compliance, theres a link somewhere to check the different ones. I'm sure J-spec can supply it.

J-spec can tak you through what to look for in an R32, but keep in mind that it's a car that a bit older, though some great examples are out there. Rust is an issue, and be prepared to spend a bit of cash to change things like the timing belt, fuel pump and other maintence things. You don't really need to do this, but it's not a bad idea. Kind of preventaive stuff.

All in all, I was over the moon about the condition of my R32. The problem is that there are so many options and so much stuff that you can do yourself, that you never really get to a stage where you can sit back and say "I'm done" there's always part of you that wonders what a new colour spray would look like, or an in dash DVD, or leather detailing, or seats, or, well, you get the picture.

If you need any advice, search the forums here. Anything else feel free to PM me as a customer or funky as a JSPEC guy.

Depends on the age you're looking for- I've got a client who's got a few R32s in Japan he bought before the rules changed, so he's got import approvals for '89 and '90 models. Here's his website:-

they're pretty cheap, but most need some work or at least tidying up.
