link to NICO forum... sorry

but, a fun thread.

looks like somebody local here decided to bring in a bunch of COOL CARS.

but messed up

too bad, so sad.

[g00kb0i]

That sucks... mines carbon wing costs a pretty penny...

[Yeswepromise_PG]

it is a nur edition too, right?
those don't just float around like a normal GTR right?

[EliteGTR]

Thats a shame. oh well, thats the game you play.

[Coolwhip]

I would have to be crushed inside that NurSpec if I couldn't have it back.

[wingnut]

Mine's tuned Nur, V-cam'd GTR, clean cars all around. Someone is loosing a wad of cash.

[gsxtasee]

and they're being towed with the hook, not flat bed so the tranny's will be trash IF anybody gets them back.

When I saw the V-cam...

That sucks! I bet the container got x-ray'd...so so sad. Anyone know who's cars they are?

[Yeswepromise_PG]

Seems like it was a bad idea to leave the engines in the car, right?

[tyndago]

People will never learn. They get one car, one container in. Sooner or later stuff like this happens.

There was one other group of about 6 cars that was stuck in the Atlanta area recently , and I have heard of others in Florida , but no confirmation on that.

Don't illegally import cars , sooner or later, you will get burned.

[XSDAILO]

This is funny. Everybody thinks its so easy. Read it and weep.

[signalr32]

in NY its simple as a money order.. wish all the other docks worked like NY.. LOL


But needless to say.. WTF is the point. The R34 cant be used on the street if ur lucky maybe in nevada or arizona or somthing..but if something ever happens ie wreck stolen or something.. MAN i woudl run to the hills

[domlee]

Maybe they belong to J-Garage? haha.

[XSDAILO]

It actually depends on how "friendly" the customs agent is and whether or not they x-ray the container.

[supra2aSKYLINE]

Yeah the owner of the cars didn't know what was going on, i recognized one of the cars and i called my buddy and it turned out to be his, then he called the guy that was getting the car for him and the guy had no idea and freaked out.

the NUR was paid in full

my buddies car, there was no money exchaged (GT-R)

i don't know the story about the white GT-R

[Michael V]

Unlike the other large group that was a bunch of R32's, I think these are worth enough that the guy will ship them out rather than have them auctioned off (if he's given the option).

A couple really nice cars in that group...

[domlee]

What is the deal w/ the half rims used to keep the S15 on the tow truck bed?

Cheap way to move a car and all...

Interesting note. The engine bay for the S15 is red, while the car is white.

[supra2aSKYLINE]

the half rims save room when shipping for more room, for the car on top of it or any other parts they want to put in there.

[EDTHEMANJP]

Wow just wow.

[legalr33]

X-ray killed the deal for these guys. V-cam and Mine's rear spoiler sure looks good.

[superspikky]

how sad, how very very sad.

[BigCrash]

You'd think with that much money invested they'd do at least some research and realize that shipping a bunch of complete cars in one container is a very, very bad idea.

[kismetcapitan]

jeebus. it's a day's labor to yank the engine and tranny, hood, front fenders, trunklid, seats, doors, front and rear bumpers, put the car on four spare tires all different sized - the car will look like hell and will definitely pass as a rolling assemblage of parts.

[Gee-TR]

that sucks for that guy, what a shame.

[YumGTR]

i just noticed the midori sticker on the white car with the VCAM setup. this is the same car that Franz was pitching me on just a month or two ago. I strongly believe these 4 cars are ones that he bought for his customers. What sucks is that I believe that most of his customers put at least 50% down on these cars for him to bring them over.

Another reason I believe these are his is because he specifically told me that his outfit bubble wraps all the cars, and that they do not get taken apart to be brought into the US (drivetrain, suspension removed). I asked how him how he gets complete cars into the country and his response was this his customs "guy" works some magic.

When another one of his clients picked up the White Midori car, I was going to have him pick me up a Red R34 and bring it over in this very same container. I got a bad feeling when he wanted like 80% down from me and then I saw the same cars he was trying to sell me on Yahoo Japan Auctions and there was a pretty significant markup on his part, so I killed our deal and asked him not to contact me again.

Best decision I've made in a while!

Very intelligent

And I belive that man that bubble wraps those cars was pretty pissed too at the end of the day.

[superspikky]

yea definitely
