There are a million threads on the subject. Search.

you won't find one lying around somewhere... individuals who took the time to legalize here won't sell it that easily either... search around for more info.

the process is extremely time consuming and costly... for legal cases...

first off what is your age?
what is your spending amount?

cuz i dont want to help you if your some 15-16 year old kid who just saw initial d and is all crazy about 240s now and has no idea what he is getting into. You need $$cash$$ if you want it to be street legal as in can be driven on roads and have no worries with the popo. Other than that its strictly show use for you. But im not sure if there are any street legal silvias or 180sx in the states i cant remember. As iv heard there are NO s15's legally street driven in america. But in super street there was a place in texas that had a silver one, but i dont think it was streetable. Then a few threads ago a kid said he saw some in california...dont no if it was bs or not but, seeing is believing so.... Once i see an s15 pass me on the free way ill believe it.

Doesnt his name imply hat he wants to own a Mitsubushu 3000GT VR-4? Thats just me though...kinda reminds me of the Prelude guy...

If I saw an S15 pass me on the freeway, it would be time to attempt to lay down the law. Hopefully after my fuel system is taken care of. Maybe he'll be as shocked to see a KA-T as I am to see a S-15.

YOU CAN'T!!!! GIVE IT UP!!!!!! YOU'LL FAIL AT EVERYTHING YOU EVER ATTEMPT!!!! (that last one was a life lesson since you're obviously like 12)

Hey, give the kid a break. He sold all his Yugiyo cards and wants to spend his money before his mom makes him put it in the bank.

i think i wanna try to get sent to japan (thru the army) and bring my 240sx over there...lol...i think it would be funny for all the jap people to see a 240 instead of 180sx

beep beep beep MTV news alert ur fucking retarded! there is no such thing as a RHD 240 unless someone was dumb enough to spend thousands on converting it to a RHD which would be about as gay as u are. silivas and 180's on the other hand they are RHD but w/ ur measly 10 k u wont get that and why waste ur time trying. take my advice go get the new honda truck get some neons some 22 inch fake spinners and put lambo doors on it then get a GTR emblem for the front and never talk to us again. and ur "imported 240" what does that mean we import silvias not 240's because 240's are already here

[sidewayzS13]

i hope that made sense i was a little flustered when i wrote is so my emotions might have taken over to much

[drumpet15]

1. Search for old threads before posting stupid ones that have already been answered.
2. It would cost a LOT to do a conversion, and for what? So you look cool? I can think of a lot better ways to spend 10K on a car.
3. (it would be funny to take a 240 to Japan )

the answer to your question is that you can't legally import an s15 unless you own a shop but even then you're years away from affording it (let alone OWNING a shop..) and as mentioned above, you can't import a 240sx unless you're exporting it from north america to another country. north america is where the 240sx originated.. japan is where the silvia originated.. maybe you need to learn the differences between a silvia and 240sx before you buy one
