Cool JDM engine buyers wanted.

Hi guys,
I'm new to this list, long time lurker, been reading the topics for a long time.
Anyway, I am trying to get some buyers for JDM engines, or parts in general as I am having a car shipped over (Skyline GT-S 4-door) and have a whole container to fill. I've found a really good engine supplier/junkyard who can pretty get pretty much imaginable over.
It takes about 30 days to clear customs here (I'm in Richmond, BC, Canada) and then probably about 4-7 anywhere in North America.
Importing cars, electronics, etc. from Japan is what I do for a living, so I'm pretty good at it. I just figure selling some engines would greatly help offset the cost of the container, and maybe make me a bit of a profit (not trying to get rich) and hopefully help out some fellow enthusiasts (and the guy who was going to fill up the other half of the container pulled out on me).
If you are interested, feel free to e-mail me at: rpmrace@telus.net and I'll try to answer any questions.

Here's just a partial list of engines I can get, and like I said, can get pretty much any other JDM part, just ask.

SR20DET (red top, s13)
SR20DET (black top s14)
SR20DET (S15, with variable valve timing and 6 speed)
SR20DET (Sunny Pulsar GTiR w/ AWD transmission)
CA18DET (early S13)
RB20DET (R32 Skyline GT-S, A31 Cefiro, etc.)
RB25DET (R33 GT-S)
RB26DETT (GT-R, all versions available)
3S-GTE
4AGE
4AGZE

Also, sell many other engines, by different manufactures, included , Mazda 13B, and 20B, Renesis All Honda engines, including K series and B series.

Sounds commercial. Should be moved from private.

I kind of wondered however, I am a private individual doing this on my own time and technically not a business.

I could get you a whole front clip for $1800-2000 depending on mileage. E-mail me at rpmrace@telus.net and we can talk about it.

Are you a commercial reseller? "Importing cars, electronics, etc. from Japan is what I do for a living, so I'm pretty good at it."

Or not? "I am a private individual doing this on my own time and technically not a business."

For the record if you are self-employed it's always as an individual and on your own time.

Just sounds like you are trying to pay for your car import through a group buy import.

I am a private individual, who works for an importing company. I am doing this in my spare time, just using the work thing to explain that I have a clue what the hell I'm doing.
Sorry for any confusion

Just to let you guys know as there seems to be a lot of interest in this, I can get pretty much any cars you want as well. Skylines, Silvia, 180SX's, etc.

Depending on year, anywhere from 4-14k. I found a 95 SR20DET, 180SX for $6500 shipped to BC, but it depends on if you want stock, modified, etc. I also know of 91 Sil-80 that's got a TON of stuff done to it for like $12k shipped, but at that price you're looking at the same cost as a lightly modded R32 GT-S. So it's kind of what you're willing to pay, looking for, etc. If you're serious, e-mail me and I can look into something for you.

$6500? wow. thats not much. i figured it would be more.
i would have to do some homework on costs of getting it registered in the US. im really looking at older S13`s 92/93. also cost of shipping from BC to the eastern sea board.
