I bought my 1990 200sx last year in Holland, so I had to go through a series of import procedures. A bit of a hassle, but I know what to do now (in case my next car will have to be imported too...). The hassle was worth it, I must say. I love this car! It's fun, it's fast and it looks great.
The car already had a stage 2-chip, a K&N air filter (needed to be replaced badly), Forge dumpvalve and a Garrett T28 turbo. The engine itself was completely redone and had about 4,000km on it when the previous owner sold it.
I wasn't planning on changing that much (again) but after a while I realized that a car like this just needs tuning to increase the fun-factor :-D
