How to Import the Japanase Car of YOUR Dreams
Before you even think about buying a car in Japan you need to know how to ship it to your country. If you have just bought an RX7 or a R34 GTR Skyline - and have no clue on how to ship it back home, you could have potentially lost quite a lot of money.
Importing...
But How?
There are a couple of ways you can ship your car from Japan. The first method is safer and I highly recommend doing this if you have an expensive or rare car. That's Hot

Importing via a Container
Uh oh...
Doing this will insure your car doesn't get scratched and knocked about during transit. "Warfies" (the people that work on car carriers) are not exactly concerned if they scratch your car and this happens quite a lot. A small scratch on your import car could cost you quite a bit to get repaired, especially if the car has an aftermarket paint job. Warfies also tend to take things they like. If they see a nice stereo they will do what they can to get it, after all, they are out at sea for weeks at a time so they have plenty of time to steal your stuff.Using a container to ship cars from Japan however does come at a cost. If you think this cost outweighs the benefits of using a container you should use the next method to ship cars from Japan.

D1 Championship
Drifting - although not required - mainly uses Japanese cars as they have perfect weight distribution, are RWD, have plently of torque, and are cheap as hell!
The Roll On Roll Off Method
No not Rick Roll
When shipping cars using the roll on roll of method your car may get a couple of little scratches during transit but often they can be buffed out. If you are importing a 2nd hand car with a standard paint job I suggest using roll on roll of. This is because shipping cars using this method is much cheaper.
