Given that a reliable and reputable exporter / importer could be found, what is the going price for C10 a C110 in decent shape, ie no rust and mostly intact interior, in Japan?

They all have rust. Remember, these cars were basic everyday models (except for the GT-R) and were daily drivers. Until recently, Japanese law made it very difficult to keep cars older than 5-7 years old, and many were sent to the crushers to be recycled. Most of the survivors have been hot-rodded to some degree, and what you're willing to accept determines the price range. They start at about $4,000.00 USD for a rusty heap all the way up to $20,000.00+ USD for a fully restored stock or heavily modified car.

For starters, you can look at Car Sensor, Goo, Rocky Auto and Yahoo Japan to get a feel for what's out there. I paid just under $12,000.00 USD for mine and then almost as much to get it up to speed (brakes, shocks, clutch, tires, valve job, exhaust). Note: my car is 90% stock with "period" accessories (headers, exhaust system, Watanabe wheels) - - nothing exotic like triple webers/mikunis, big cam, racing seats, etc.

Could. Motorex is dead. That was a shady business and the guy who ran it is in a lot of trouble right now. There are no legal Skylines ( or other JDM car for that matter ) coming into the U.S. and won't be in the forseeable future.

oops... didn't know that! thanks for the heads up!

Or you can buy mine

Lachlan, If you know an exporter, I'll get a loan.

Can't believe I just said that. But, I'd really would rather you kept your car. And in five years or so was documenting your fittment of an S20 engine and R192 444-1 rear
