I6 :slap:

Forget about the Accord, there's a million here just like it, the skyline is what you need to try and import.

 

:wtf:

Do whatever you want... but trying to import an accord.... that's just simply worthless IMO.

Now if you have a good skyline, that would be worthwhile to import and then resell for a billion bucks.

Accord? bah, just scrap it and buy a new one. It's not worth any time and trouble. It's just an accord.

 

It is at the moment impossible to import my skyline
But the accord I think would be relatively (sp?) easy and it would be pretty cool too. Im sure when i sell it someone would pay me more for the jap accord than they would pay for the same model not RHD

 

You're asking the wrong people. If you're in the military, use your military connections to bring the car stateside. That's the best way.

 

Yeah think its called a Carnet you can keep and drive it for a year limited to I think 2500 miles. I think you are required to post a bond If you don't send it back after one year the DOT can seize the car and crush it. A Carnet is used for research purpose and not really practical for a private citizen to keep a grey market car in the states. Neuspeed did this a few years ago with the first VR6 GTi so they could get a head start making parts



All these part would have to meet DOT specs:

Headlights (must be marked)
Taillights (must be marked)
Side markers (must be marked)
Turn signals (must be marked)
SRS system
All glass (must be marked)
Emissions for EPA and or my stringent CA standards if your bring it to California
If its made after 1995 it must be OBDII to start with to meet above standards
Must run on unleaded gas and have restrictor in gas fill
Seat belts must meet DOT standards
Bumpers must meet DOT standards (and sometimes the only way around this is to buy U.S spec ones
Bumper and headlight height must meet DOT specs


You would have to find a registered importer to convert and certify the car for all the above specs plus emissions and if its OBDII forget it, the certification process will be more then the car is worth. Those companies that import Skylines but a lot of time money and research into getting them to meet the above specs. Which is why they get big $$$ when they sell them
