QUOTE=1Sweet Z;979053]THE RIV website usually has a list of modifications required when importing certain brands of vehicles. Usually DRL and Speedometer conversions will be required. But I have heard from so other forum members that the ECU just needs to be re-programmed to turn on the DRL. This would make sense as Nissan would probably not build multiple varations of the same vehicle for export countries.

Check the forum site for cars for sale - I say somebody post an 09 PG Touring in New Jersey. Not to far of a drive.

So did your roadster get swept away in the tsunami? Has the dealer confirmed is in port in vancouver yet/

I too did the math before I bought here. I bought my motorcycle state side and saved a fortune. After I figured everything, I would have saved about $4,000 buying it in the US, and that included buying it in a state without sales tax. So, after taking into account the time and effort to do it, the travel involved, the fact that I am very picky and like my speedo in KM's and most importantly, any warrenty issues, $4,000 just wasn't worth it. That was based on a .95 canadian dollar at the time, so the savings would be slightly more now.

Now, a used one is a whole different ballgame!
