has anyone ever had to deal with shipping a car to/from the states?
I'd love an aussie falcon, new or old, but the logistics of getting it legalized are fuzzy, no one here on this shit dmv/police force seems to have a clue. maybe i need to start a new topic on it.

My little pavement pounder.  Had her since my junior year of high school.  I'm entirely too attached to the damn thing and will probably never get rid of her.  Wound up dumping close to $12,000 into her with a 3s-gte engine swap, plus the rebuild on said engine, new suspension and wheels and a paint job.  Do some autox with it, does quite well (mid-engine FTW!) and the occasional drag race during the summer when the strip is open for free drags, love pissing off mustang owners with it (ya'll sure are a cocky bunch).  But mostly I just cruise around in it or just go for a drive on windy mountain roads when weather permits it.  Hasn't been a daily driver for probably 5 years now.  My daily driver right now is a '03 chevy S10 ZR2.

I know it can be done, I actually used to work with a guy who imported a skyline from japan.  He had to jump through a ton of hoops and I'm still not sure how he got it to pass smog requirements in California.  I think he had to pay a special registration fee that was insanely high every year too.

Try google, very useful for this kind of stuff.  I'd recommend searching for "Importing skyline to USA" or something like that.  Seems a lot of people want the skyline and there's info out there on importing foreign cars not sold in the US.

This is the most recent. It was taken before I decided to go with 44" ers and did the spring over and 4" custom spings.

Still have alot of fabricating left to get it the way I want it, but that will come in time.

That was my baby. I had just gotten some 40 series flowmasters put on her. Loud as fuck! I set off multiple car alarms while igniting the beast. Found out my wife was pregnant and swamped cars with my sister. I don't want to explain what car I'm driving now. I'll get a muscle car later on. Baby > cars.

The best bet is to find an auto importer on the west coast.  Find a dealer on ebay that sells skylines, holdens etc and they may be able to put you in the right direction.  They can also tell you how to get it converted for US DOT standards.

I hear ya man.  I was getting ready to drop coin on a Firebird WS6, then I found out the wife was pregnant. Car idea went out the window.

Now your neighbor's cars are another story.

edit:  Anyone in Australia should check out NOV/DEC issue of INCAR Entertainment.  My buddy's '73 Super Beetle is in there.  The thing is out of control. I'll post pics when I can.

Shit man, they got a fucking limo!!

My buddy has an old limo. He spray painted it bright Orange with spray paint. It's hilarious. It's his daily driver too.

This is the same guy that was "Joe the Ice Cream Man" one summer. He sold out at every party he went to. lol
That's where I got the Icecream music that I play in my truck as I drive through neighborhoods in the summer. Kids hate me.

For anyone that watches Overhaulin' (TV show), this was done by J&G Customs with some help from Chip Foose (notice the rims, custom-made).

Why not?  Do some research on what a stock Vette is capable of, then look at Lingenfelter Vettes.  The performance of a stock Z06 is verified by Motor Trend in their test. 0-60 is 3.5 seconds.
