I can't imagine shipping would be much more than 1000-1200 bux.

It would be fun to get my hands on it. It's too bad it doesn't even have a SOHC motor in it. At least SOMETHING under there to sell off to help with the cost of rebuilding it.

that's what I was thinking too, but if shipping is cheap, and you can snag a d series motor for a few hundred, why not take a loan out to pay it off? Complete the work and sell the other sol off. Use the money from that sale to pay off said loan, and you only have to pay off prolly 1 or 2 G's and you've got the JDM sol with your b series motor.

I'm almost positive you would have to tank out an unsecured personal loan. I highly doubt any bank or lender would allow a wrecked car to be used as collateral. The other thing to consider is weather or not you would want to be on the up-and-up as far as legit title and registration goes. Trying to get a vehicle street legal by USDOT standards is going to be extremely tough to do, no matter what car. It would be fun tho

not worth the at least $6000 its gonna cost you to get it to your door. the skyline is just a better deal overall. as for the western scirpt on the car, Japaneese marketing uses it because the Japaneese like the look of the scirpt and most of them can read it anyways. you just have to realize our domestic products seem cool to them just like their JDM stuff is cool to us. i always wanted to trade cars over the Pacific, just think- we get rid of fords and chevvys for nissans and hondas.

their cars are nice, but our domestics are powerful and generally are V6 or V8. i think the import scene is much bigger here though.
