The hardest part would be trying to find one probably, but seems they are rather available in japan.

Though how do they charge 8 grand for compliance?!

EDIT:

Also, it's been a while since me or anyone has imported a car, but I remember Iron Chef Imports being quite repuatable (Spelling?)

yeah they are pretty good from what i hear, emailed them about importing a 32 gtr, where quite good on price, wouldnt be getting the car complianced, complianced means on the road? would have thought it would be 3-5k to get it hear.

IIRC compliance shouldnt cost you more then 1-2 grand. Dunno about importing fee but didn't think it was that much. And yeah, compliance = on the road.

I would either use Iron Chef or Import monster to import a car, for smaller things from yahoo japan I use jesse streeter http://jessestreeter.com/

He's without a doubt the cheapest
