Not really. They saw the cars being shipped into the LA area port from Japan, made a call, and as it left Japan they took hold of it for me. They tracked it the whole way and gave me updates like, "its in the US, its on the train, its on a truck will be here tomorrow, you're in it and driving awa...o he's gone"

In 2013 the Nismo was going for $48k while the Sports Package was @ $37k and base @ $33k out here in Guam...
The 2014's are more expensive here.... A lil of $52k for the 2014 Nismo model while the Sports Package is @ 41k and the Base is @ $36k...and our dealer is a Corporate dealer..the reps @ Nissan say the prices are higher here than the U.S. due to shipping...Last time I checked Guam was closer to Japan....How the hell would shipping cost more....

In Hawaii, our Japanese cars first go through the West Coast ports on the US mainland. Unloaded there and go through whatever steps are needed for import cars and then on to different ships to Hawaii. My special ordered 13 went through LA then on to Hawaii. My dealer was very good and showed me what ships they were on. It took under 2 weeks to leave the port in Japan to get to Hawaii. Looks like it was in LA for only about 1-2 days. Ships from LA to Hawaii normally takes 4 days to travel the Pacific. |

Either that, or you had THE WORLDS FASTEST car build in history. People wait 3 MONTHS for their cars, there's NO WAY that you got yours in 2 weeks if you custom ordered it EDIT: after a reread, you literally described a fluke. Your car wasn't custom ordered, they just happened to have one coming in

The whole first row against charlotte st is $100k x6's. what I wouldn't give! I'm sure in Japan at nissan a pic will look just like this. "Ordering from Japan" doesn't mean its getting built. It can also mean its just sitting there waiting for a ride over.

I think you're right, your car was not special ordered. I know mine was as the dealer could track it from leaving the port in Japan, through LA then on to a different ship to Hawaii. |
