Hi I am looking to import a 2010 370z nismo edition brand new or used. I am in canada (vancouver,bc) I am willing to fly to see it and if everything is good then I will buy it(ship it to blaine,washington usa) and import it myself.

for some reason I am having problems finding a dealer willing to sell to me...

I asked Fontana Nissan and FuszNissan both said no for some reason..

Why do you want to import, if you don't mind me asking. That's kind of a complicated process.

Nismos are not available in canada

My old 350z track was imported (from portland, usa) and I had no problems with that (but was a private sale)

Any reason why you want the NISMO specifically? It lacks a lot of options you can get on the Touring model and isn't any better than the Sport package in terms of performance.

If it's a looks thing slowly but surely aftermarket companies are copying the NISMO kit.

I'd rather have the original + I like the interior better and I don't really care for comfort or audio..

I'm not sure how familiar you are with the process, but here is some info.

How to Import a Car From the United States Into Canada | eHow.com

Import Car To Canada! How to Import a Car, Truck, Van, Motorcycle or Passenger Vehicle into Canada

Sounds like a PITA that's very costly. I'd just mod a canadian model fwiw.
