you have to get it legalized through motorex. the benifit is that you dont get screwed by them in costs. 35k +25k(legalization for a r34) = 60k. about 10-20k less than they sell theirs for.

not so easy
Hey..about a year back I researched this stuff. I really wanted to import a 99 STi or older. The pricing wasn't that bad also. I looked both in the UK and Japan. I even ordered stuff from the U.S. Customs. I even wrote a letter to Subaru of America to help me out. I got a reply letter about 5-6 weeks later. They said they cannot help me at all. It's not easy at all..you are going to have to put a LOT of time and money into it if you want it done at all.
This is what you have to do to legally import a car. IT COST LOTS OF MONEY BY THE WAY. Not only for the car, but you have to get a car model of the type you want to import. CRASH IT over and over again for the testing procedure. You also have to pay a certain percentage of the car's value. There's more steps involved. There's some guy in the U.S. who owns a 22B in England and he has been trying to get the car here for quite some time without luck. I mean if importing cars were that easy, we would all be riding around in EVO 6's, STi's, GTR's, JDM Supras...
if you want more info, put your taxes to work and click this link! All the brochures are free so enjoy.
U.S. Customs Importing A Car
This is what you do:
Click "Order a Publication"
Fill out your name and address
Go down to "Importing or Exporting a Car" and order 1 of those
Go down to "U.S. Import Requirements" and order one of those
It usually comes in 1-2 weeks. I hope this helped

hehe....I'm thinkin' a Buick Roadmaster would be a good car for this bloke. Naww I personally believe that teens should have a car the handles really really ridicously good and has just enough power to get it around. Oh and should be really sturdy.

and the Z has the potential to get up there with the mods it will have.. so i am saying.. geta 2k2 maxima.. the most he will probably get it to is 13 seconds.. still not that bad..

to bring this thread back on track, if your mom is willing to spend around 30k for a car i would definetly get something other than a maxima or a z.
some food for thought:
-BMW M-coupe (or roadster if you like that crap) ~30k used
-Honda S2000 ~30k with extremely low miles
-like people said, evo 8 or sti both ~30k new
-Audi S4 ~30k used
-Porche Boxter ~30k used
-Cheverolet Camaro SS ~30k used
-Ford Mustang Cobra ~30k used
i've driven every car listed except the cobra, evo 8, and sti, the last two for obvious reasons. I'm not saying you should get any of these but if you are getting like 30k to blow why waste it on a nissan that is so common? have a little fun

i agree. the maxima is more practical but, as someone mentioned earlier, i think you should enjoy sports cars at a younger age, before you are forced to get bigger cars, that is, if you are responsible enough to handle them.
