Rough cost for a 20ft container to fit a single car is about $2,500. Not sure about the costs of a 40ft container, but there's an increased risk of damage to the cars if they shift in the container during freight (not sure how common it is but I've seen it happen).

Check out other threads in this section for costs. The costs can vary depending on the car and what scheme you are importing them under.

this may seem very, very obvious but the people most qualified to give you pricing on containerised freight from japan are the shipping companies. also don't forget to add loading costs, unloading costs, other local charges etc.

it's a heck load cheaper to just use a drive on drive off carrier. much safer and much more convenient and MUCH more modern.

if you want parts just stuff them in the boot and the interior... but don't expect to keep them when the car arrives cos dock workers work there for a reason...

...to steal shit.

which is even more risky in a seatainer

down where it's better down where its..... you get the idea..

    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done? 
    • Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.
    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
