Hi Ya'll
Wanted to share this project with you all.
I purchased this Nissan Pao through Mitsui Co Ltd in Japan last August and imported it into Ireland, i've been sitting on it for a while deciding what to do with it, this is my 5th Pao and wanted to make it a bit quicker and sound a bit different so decided to fit a Honda K20 engine/box and fit a set of 45mm Jenvey's with huge trumpets as I love the growl and thought with having a metal dash the sound would come through a treat, I had a lightened flywheel and competition clutch from my earlier EP3 and they all fit a treat. The conversion is being done by Gavin at Gsportscars here in Belfast and he's doing a proper job on it, I've srtipped the car as much as I can and will prep the car for painting, I'm very pleased with his quality of work and he's got bundles of knowledge. Car is really straight but did have previous paint in Japan and was a couple of different shades of Nissan Ivory so will get it painted, front & rear bumper delete with all access holes filled and smoothed, roof bars deleted, will be slammed 75mm all-round on coilovers, want the slammed smooth look, interior all out for cleaning, seats stripped and put through the washing machine with Vanish powder, came up like new, Just to give you a quick breakdown of cost so far:
Pao £1600
Shipping Insurance £40
Shipping to Dublin £950
Port of Dublin services
Clearance £45
Port Vat £25
T1 bond £75 (T1 bond req by UK HMRC when you move car from Dublin ➔ Belfast)
HMRC UK charges
Customs Import Vat £597.76
Customs Import Duty £260.80
Customs Entry £45
Vat deferment fee £25
Customs Bond Fee £75
Transport the car from Dublin ➔ Belfast
£150 (fully insured)
