Been hearing a lot of horror stories lately. Imported an R33 GTR myself at the start of the year and had a nice quote of the website. But when it landed system had changed. Cant get a quote now in person as engine is out of car (trust me I tried). What sort of quotes are people are getting for Skylines? Also was told that its .1% of VRT extra every day exceeding 30 days of import. Is this true?

[mossyhennebry]

Thats not true.

My VRT price for my 1990 r32 was €1710.

I paid it on day 33, so 3 days late and there was a €56 late penalty.

I dont know what percentage that is, but it's definitely not 0.1%

seems about right to me. 56euro is 0.327% of 1710euro. roughly 3 days worth of penalties.

was in the vrt office today , its a joke of a system now . anything old (so anything wed be after from japan ) are mostly blocked now so they want to see the car , take note of all mods/stuff the can charge extra for and then give you a custom quote .

anyways we brought in a ps13 , luckily it isnt blocked (yet) so was kinda straight forward , checked the car had all the seats, chassis number, checked if the car went into gear and started and ran ok .

then he gave back the documents and said youll get a call in 2 days with the vrt amount ... some dose . (someone on some site was saying they had the docs kept on them , which was a balls so they couldnt sell it on to the uk if they didnt like the quote)

ive heard about your experience jdmep3s and im shocked you havnt spoke out about it , but thats your own business , feel sorry for ya dude.
