Importing Skyline if your in the military.

[SAPrez]

True, but the upside is that it can be done in parts. The big hump is the $17k.

yea, that would be something that either doesnt want a GT-R to be different, or thats all they can afford at that point.

vf-19j, you the man. I did all this research myself months ago when I wanted the Navy to ship my Skyline to Motorex. Too bad I couldn't afford what Motorex was asking on my enlisted pay. Anyway, good shit man, this is some very helpful info for Military members.

I love Skylines!

I love Skylines!

Maybe an E-5, if he joined at 17/18 y/o and is one squared away sailor. The difference between enlisted pay and officer pay is a hell of a lot of money. Us enlisted folk don't make near as much money as you (soon to be, you say) officers.

Heres the military pay chart. See for yourself.

Danke, sir. Though, as Razor said, we need to stay on topic. I appreciate it on seeing my point.

Yeah, lol, I was reading post by post and I just read his and I came back to edit mine.

Well I was going to join the military for college money and as a side bonus maybe pick up a Skyline, but with a recent loss in my family money is no longer an issue for me so gonna get my Skyline(an R32) hopefully by next year now that I can afford it.

Well unless something comes up.... -_-

is not as easy as it sounds zato in gettin a skyline in the millitary, even if they do transport your goods, i only know of one guy that drives his skyline in Hawaii in the Millitary. There must be others i dont know of. Its hard and requires alot of money.

I'm no longer headed to the military. I can afford the car, legalization and shipping cost. I live in Hawaii, who's the guy your talking about? So far the only Skylines here are an R33 and R34 that belong to a tuning shop, but if theres someone else I'd be interested in talking to them, I need as much info as possible before I head to Japan.

theres a guy named Romeo that owns the only street legal r34 in hawaii, its personally owned, not by the shop...although he is doing mucho promotion for them. its silver with a full c-west kit.

I know which Romeo your talking about. In an old issue of "Shift" (a small mag for Nissan owners in HI) it said he runs Atomic Performance, but I'm not sure on the details. I've seen the R34 before and since he has the R33 also I wanted to bring an R32 over.

It's featured on the team rice website, as well as a shot in HCI in the Hawaii 7 article.

why am i gonna contact him? what good does that do? all of the info is here anyways. My inlaw bro knows him real well, not me so if i can ill see if there is something new, but many of the people here are already in the millitary so it would be easier to ask guys like "my3rdskyline", im guessing he would know.

No problem, I just wanted to see if I could get a first hand, in person statement. I'm a bit overcautious about hearing it from someone online, especially after talking to Speed53, Night7, OmegaSkylines, and Batfa (though not about legalizing, about shipping). Not to discredit anyone, I know there are Skyline owners here.
