    Default Importing an AE86.

    Hey guys, not really sure where to post this. Since selling my KE I really wanted to go for something with potential for easy power ie; not needing an engine conversion, factory turbo for easy rego etc etc but the thought of being without a Corolla just kind of sickens me...So I'm thinking about buying a Levin/Trueno. Looking at importing one and I'm after some recommendations on who to go through.
    Any help is appreciated,
    Cheers.

    Right, let me clear this up. I was never going to import an S13. I was going to buy one here but decided I'm not getting into another Nissan and I'm going to either buy an AE86 here or import one from Japan. I am looking for recommendations on importers so I can import an AE86. Not a Nissan. Sorry for the confusion.

    I went through ProK off HR, it will take a while to find a car you're happy with as they aren't as common anymore but the process was easy and he made everything quick and simple and a lot cheaper than I expected. Also he deals with a lot of dreamers, so best to call him to get in contact.

    Thanks for the reply mate. Will get in contact. Is there many hassles involved with compliance?
    Cheers.

    There is a good Levin that just went for sale in the for sale section, asking price is about what one would cost to bring over, check it out
