Nope, for one all the nasty importing papper work was already done before I bought it. But have all the paper work that shows and proves that it's legal. So titling it to my name was easy as just going to the tag office and ordering one.
Second, the insurance was a bit tricky. Luckily the previous owner had the same company as I did for car insurance. Which is State FARM. ALTHOUGH.. When switching it over was interesting. I had to show proof that it had passed inspection when it first arrived in the states. And had to have the initial emission test spec sheets as well. Which the previous owner had kept all of that with the car. Then the insurance company couldn't pull a car fax due to the 10 digit vin. So my personal agent marked it as a 2+2 NA to give me more of a discount on my policy. Which I thought was hilarious. He wanted to try to help me get any records or history. But only got what I had already had. All up to the moment it arrived into the states. I do have the info on what company brought it in, the original copy of it's first title. Documentation that backs up it's mileage. I actually have a connection in Canada, a guy out there going to sell me a few to some of my bros locally. All they need is proof of ownership! And man, they are cheap to bring em in from Canada vs Japan! They only Skyline that can cross over legal is the r33. r34 and r32 are illegal period! As long as the car has a sister car like the FairLady z32 and 300zx. Silvia are legal up to a certain model. For those know what company I use to be part owner of, know of the cars we had owned in the past. I don't get involved in illegal importation. Everything is by the book. Now what you do with the car is your business! Lol.
Thinking about to making a few investments then sell them for little profit. Had helped a few already with some cars getting them imported. All in all there are plenty of sites that are involved with importing cars in. Just depends how much you have to spend on one.
