Importing it yourself is a royal ***** pain in the ass with lots of time, money and headaches. I doubt you can save that much anyway. Pretty sure wreckers have their own rules and regulations to follow.

it seems on my next visit to japan, i may have to buy a car, find a yard strip the parts and ship them loosely in a container instead of a whole car.

Couldn't you import a Legend for the track then once it gets here decide you want something different and put the car to use as a spares car for your daily?

Generally you need a CAMS licence to import complete track cars. If you don't have one you might be better off importing the parts separately?

Also heard alot of good feedback regarding Iron Chef imports.

I can personally vouch for ICI. Imported a Legnum with their help a few years ago. Would not hesitate to recommend Kristian and the team!

i may know someone who has a CAMS license who may be able to import track cars, then as you said, just leave the car on wheels in my backyard, where i will just strip parts as required

sensei_ depends on the parks you want. try contacting monster import and see what they can do for you

thanks for that. i have already contacted monster imports, and they will need to cut the car in half regardless. as a legend wont be able to be imported even as a track car, unless it is "FIA Homologated" (whatever that means!)

they say they can make sure that the parts arent damaged but it comes at a price.

~$2300 + car cost + import duty/gst

at those prices, i am probably better off buying a registered car, driving it to my place, and handing back the plates to make that my donor car. (legend's go for about $3-5k if im not wrong)

Has anyone actually dealt with any brokers at Sports auto group?
