Shipping a 1999 Nissan Skyline GTR R34

Video Description

The 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, a JDM icon, recently made its long-awaited journey to the USA, thanks to AutoShippers' expert handling. This particular Skyline, a Bayside Blue gem, had a unique history, once owned by a US serviceman in Japan and later stored in the UK, awaiting its 25-year import eligibility.

AutoShippers meticulously managed every stage of its voyage. We collected the vehicle via covered transporter, ensuring its pristine condition. Upon arrival at our facility, a thorough Vehicle Condition Report was completed. Then, our expert team carefully loaded the £200,000 Skyline into a dedicated 20ft container. Precision was paramount, with custom ramps and strategic positioning to safeguard the car's low clearance and delicate components.

Securing the Skyline was equally critical. Heavy-duty wheel chocks and a robust strapping system anchored the vehicle, preventing any movement during its 17-day sea voyage aboard the "Al Safat" from Southampton to Houston. Our team also handled all necessary documentation, including V5 checks and US Customs paperwork, ensuring a smooth process.

Upon arrival in Houston, we managed the customs clearance and arranged for the car's delivery to its delighted owner in Texas. AutoShippers' expertise in navigating the 25-year rule and US import regulations ensured a seamless experience. Our meticulous process, from collection to delivery, reflects our commitment to handling every vehicle, especially prized classics, with the utmost care.
