I'm just got a 90 coupe and I want to do the engine swap thing. My question is how hard is it to import a front clip or a SR20DET engine from Japan? coz I have a buddy there in Japan and I think he can find me a really cheap and nice one. So would it be hard to import it by myself(not a company)?

 

no, it should just be shipped like anything else. it would come on a truck and be shipped to whatever address you tell them or him. and it might take around 3 to 4 weeks

 

what about the tax?? and how much is it gonna cost?

 

you could get nailed in customs, ive heard about engines coming over from japan and not making it through customs so customs destroy the engine.

 

try some of these sites:
www.phase2motortrend.com
www.flashoptions.com
www.suncoastcustoms.com

those are some sites that might have some info

i dont know bout tax cuz i havent ordered mine yet
i'm ordering mine after 1st tri is over

cuz i got all A's
and i can sell my sentra and get a 240 and sr20det!!!!

 

NOOO WAIT! i hope i saved you do not buy from flashoptions,i know it sounds too good to be true thats because its not true

 

so ur saying flashoptions isnt any good? i was lookin at motors on there for my friend and we were gonna buy it but then something inside told me not too cause it seem too good to be true. why is it a bad place?

 

look here:

then decide for urself...

 

trust me do not buy i almost bought from them and lets ust say i almost lost my money,hyjnx posted about this that there is a longg thread about FLASHOPTIONS on alot of boards do some searching

basiclly man is they do take ur money they are in malaysia so u cant do anything about it,unless u take a plane over there and F some ppl up spread the word,and remembver spending a little more is worth the peace of mind

peace of mind is priceless imo
