Anyone notice that on the second listing under the Terms of Sale it says,

"Colorado residents are subject to sales tax."

WTF? Why? Am I missing something?

I know how to get the skyline here from Japan. Buy the car...then have the motor taken out. Ship the chassis seperate from the engine. The Chassis is shipped as "parts only" and the engine is shipped...well "engine"or "drive-train". Doing this you avoid all the so called red tape and sidestep the expensive costs of emissions standards in the U.S. I will cost some money but not as much as importing the car complete.

Skylines cost about 30 grand for the car. Yet legalizing and shipping is what brings the price up to 80,000.

Does anyone know if you can sidestep the importing red tape by having the car shipped to Canada and going there to pick it up and drive it across the border somewhere? (Not intending on doing this, just curious)

if u have it shipped anywhere outside the US it will still be a problem... USUALLY(not always) border patrol will check VIN numbers and ur driver's license as well when u come inside the US whether it be from the canada border or mexico.

A friend of mine knew someone in the Air Force who bought a Skyline while he was stationed in Japan and he sent all the parts home as Christmas presents for his family for them to get by Customs. There is also a 180SX from Japan (right hand drive w/the SR20DET ) in the town over from me and he got the whole car over in one peice proformance parts and all. i don't know how .

90,000 thousand = 90,000,000

90 thousand = 90,000
