If i can get it to canada, im going to have a freaking party.

I will keep the thread updated.

please do, that would be nice. I am trying to compare what this one RI is telling with with a 2nd opinion.

thanks. i was thinking bahamas but its a 52% import duty, even though the car is probably technically only worth about $5k, tax wouldnt be too bad.

oops, wrong quote button. Ive already sued someone, its time consuming and expensive. would like to avoid that route.

Bro i live in the bahamas and duty went up to 55% on cars 10 grand and under. Its not that big of a jump. I have imported cars here before. I had a 92 GTS-t earlier this year but i wrecked it drifting. I currently got a 180sx. I just imported this last month. If you need anymore information hit me up. Ill see if i can find a storage place down here for u. YOU CAN IMPORT ANYTHING DOWN HERE. If your still interested let me know. Hate to see your car go to waste like that. I have a vonage phone with a US number if u wanna call to find out info.

Just an idea.

I am sure there is fireworks/liquor/smokes warehouse that could store it for you.

Thanks for the help guys. You can PM me your number? If the canada thing doesnt work out i am going to the bahamas, then to canada. Im going to bring the car back in 2015 if it all works out.

I still havent heard back from customs. I call them every week and ask them what is going on, they say "you will hear something soon" everytime.

Ill keep everyone informed, not going to let the thread die.

wassup buddy u never got back to me from when we where talking ont gtroc.

yea it seemed like my thread on gtroc kinda died off. Its no biggie, i just want to let everyone know what is going on. Its been almost 4 goddamn months since i sent in my petition just to export it, **** these people are lazy. Our tax dollars at work.

Logistis companies do these things all the time without the car ever leaving the freighter, as it's cargo. Case in point, due to China/ Taiwan laws, no cargo can be directly imported from China to Taiwan. Therefore, they must have the freighter stop in Japan (a southern island). Japan's customs takes a boat to the freighter and processes import/ export documents while collecting a fee. The freighter then moves to Taiwan. I know this as I bought cargo from China, had it shipped to Taiwan, then to Okinawa Japan. Ironically this was cheaper than using Japanese freight forwarding from Tokyo to Okinawa.

The island is ishigaki jima.. Google is your friend!!

THAT would be blacklisting. And what about all the other skyline owners.... can they not all speak up ? everyone has track cars right ? oh and they are all grandfathered in too right ? there was a chain of events that led to this seizure i believe. just my .02 cents

Also Im new to the forum yes but not the issues. If this was discussed before im sorry.

email me for more info

I'm form San Jacinto (Shepherd TX) county Texas but lived in europe and while there I bought a 96 GTST TURBO from the UK. Paid 7500GBP cash. I bought it in 2004 and drove it from london through the tunnel across europe into the Czech Republic where I lived and work. Wonderful Experience!!!

In late 2006 I wanted to move back to Texas and so had alot of cash with me, coordinated with shipping company and RI from TX and thought this would be enough to ship, change glass, door seats ect. through a RI.

It gets to customs and immediately they wanted to crush it and acted like they didnt want to release it so can ship back to EU! I called other RI from other states they didtn want to help at all, Ri companies said they did not deal with skylines unless$$$$. A nightmare! I had complete history from when I bought in UK and got it registered through a DMV like place in Prague. Perfectly street legal car which exceeded EU standards and legalities.

I shipped it back to CZE after almost 2 months and they charged me storage!!

My RI also changed their attitude and wanted way more money and it was not a garantee. THey say the DOCS I had were Skyline **** over email!! I was enraged. Dont deal with RI in TEXAS unless you want to get burned. I am not saying names. RI thing is a really a govt red tape that pits citizens against each other.

Matter in fact the GOVT do not want these cars in the US period!!! I see the folks here who post and I shake my head. They will find a way to take your car and make you spend the dough to get it back. YOu can also thank the idiots who race in heavy traffic and show no regards respect to life which causes the strict rules.

The Govt left it up to each port's discretion to decide if a skyline gets in or not. Believe it or not! My opinion is if it gets through then someone had a brother n law or a hook up somewhere. If it is legal then they paid out of the a$$.

I think after 25 years they will change the rules somehow to not let them in country. The person is right to say its sad that DHS cant find a real job to do/

In the mean time I have perm residency in CZE so good news the car is my name still. I definately pay my child support ... 250/month. I also maintain the INS. So in 13 years hopefully I can get it to USA. It sucks having to live in US and get to drive once a year when I visit but most importantly I get to see my son.

Thanks for Reading

Wow, hope that works out for you.

Just as a general update for everyone, i have still not received anything in writing as to the decision regarding me exporting the car. At the beginning of this ordeal i assumed exporting it would be as easy as 1-2-3, but its turning out to be questionable at best. I am crossing my fingers that they will allow me to do so.

I talk to the place that is storing the car, they say its there and being moved (dont you mean abused??) around the lot once in a while. Makes me wish i would have taken out the ECU or something so it wouldnt have even started...wasnt thinking at the time.

I realize now that this car is part of something larger than my individual case. It is and probably being held as evidence in a larger case against the original importer. That is the only reason i see why it is taking so long.

Hopefully the gov't has some type of sympathy and take my petition to heart....pray for me, it really sucks paying off a car that you dont have. Where's my bailout!!??

Thanks for the update on this. I had kinda been wondering what had come of it, and you must have had some sort of mental telepathy cause a day later, here is the update...lol. Scarry.

Anyway, be sure to keep us posted any time you get new information.

I think it would be a good bit of reading for anyone thinking they want to try and get by the importing laws.

Remember kids, they are laws for a reason, and if you break them, bad things happen.

Not always true.

Almost always true.

I am worried about getting my RS back. It will be 25 years-old but still, s*** happens.
