Ok well to explain properly.
I am deffinitaly importing, the poll was to convince my friend it's better to import, because of the lower kms for the same price.
He's also buying what I am.
98-99 Skyline 25GT-X. The one in NZ is 10G's, or we can import one for around 10G's, either cheaper, the same, or a bit more expensive. But all up importing one will be around 10,500 max including compliance, shipping, etc etc.

Fraud, i'll pm you some sites later.

Do you do your own compliance work?

I have worked in this sector and what "goes missing" is unbelievable... guages, BOV, wheels, ECU's, stereos. Most "goodies" from japan don't make it past the compliance workshop as half of it has to come off to be complied anyway. But I'd still go the import :D

Dad usually uses agents that call him if they see anything he might like.
