The white S15 NA is an Autech edition. They came with a 200hp high comp SR20DE and the stainless header is factory. The Autech had a candy apple red valve cover like the old S13 early DET. They also had bigger brakes.
Such an incredible well-made video showing the vehicle purchasing and exporting process. Should definitely age well as it seems very many people are interested in this.
Sammit great vid as always and great info and always so entertaining to watch and the cars amazing 👌 so many good ones and the condition and how clean they all are is insane I felt like a kid in a candy store I wouldn't be able to choose just one and as always keep up the great work 👍
What kind of car are you waiting for? I heard that if you pull the motor out and stack a bunch of parts in the sea container it actually works out to be a lot cheaper
@@CruisinCaprice i used a different place and their shipping was like $900 not sure why they charge almost triple to quadruple. and hopefully he doesnt get a rust bucket 🥲
@@stevegonzales527 there was some rust on the side but not bad bad I didn’t see anything underneath but it’s heading straight to a body shop after it gets to the states
I was watching this and noticed the Starlet and was like hey! I just picked that up from the port a few weeks ago 😂 I recognized the mismatched wheels right away along with a few vehicles we picked up.
I just ordered a Lexus from BeForward and i did write a mail for them and mentioned that they support your FD season and i did find their company from this video! Hope you do well and nice to support you this way too 😁👍
so i have a sneaky suspicions, sammit is do this video because 1. it's generally good informative content. 2. sammit is getting a kick back and there helping him import a car to NA . 😁😁😍😍
And I will say Yasu is great to deal with! He has went out of his way multiple times to get videos and check cars for me, I’ve bought around 35 cars from beforward and they really are the best!
Was watching this when the video first came out and was shocked to see 3 of the 5 vehicles we just brought over in it 😂 the Starlet and 2 skyline r33 sedans. The Starlet is definitely a fun one.
I use Beforward to import parts from Japan , but import cars for clients direct to Australia , as the compliance side can’t be handled by them and I specialise in that area .
currently waiting for my import to be loading onto a boat. cant wait. after completing this first import and getting a feel for it ill be definitely getting 2 more, and one of them is definitely a ae86
did you us the company mentioned? "be forward" im curious because depending on how well your process goes i may be using these guys to import a 97 eunos roadster! please keep me updated if you can!
@@hakunamiata83 nah, I honestly thoughts of them at first since it’s the first that pops up on google when researching, but you won’t find many reviews on them and the ones you do are horror stories. So I skipped them. Went with someone else and my car will finally be arriving at the port mid next week. Also I wouldn’t really fully trust going with a UA-camrs recommendation as they always have a partnership deal, best to find more options and compare feel comfortable doing business with. Most will export and recommend an import/ customs broker they work with. So be forward isn’t the only that provides those benefits and easy process
@@stevegonzales527 if i may ask, would you be willing to provide me with the companies you used? i plan to do far more research but i feel like it wouldnt be a bad idea to try and gather as much info as possible before i lock in on an exporter. another thing, me and a group of my friends are planning to take a trip over to japan in 2026 and i plan to not only enjoy japan for what it is but also so i can physically see with my own eyes how the export process works. i dont know anyone over there but my thought is maybe i can try to goto a car meet or places that are car hotspots to talk to locals about trust worthy sources? idk its just a thought but regardless id like to go over and check things out for myself before ill want to purchase and ship a vehicle.
I'm from UK and am hunting for a Supra. To import one from Japan not only cost just as much as buying one here but there's also a 10% duty tax plus 20% VAT, man I love the UK 🙄
In fact, if you look to the HS code in the uk GOV website, there is an option to get tariff preference to Japan in terms of import of used cars which is 2.5% of duty tax instead of 10%
Sammit I tried using your code but for some reason it didn't work. I bought the car anyways. Is it Sammit or SAMMIT? Caps no caps at all? I'd like to show my support too.
I tried to buy a car from this company about two weeks ago and they wouldn’t send me any running videos of the vehicle I want to buy….. so I’m not sure how they’re very open and honest if they cannot FaceTime me or show me the vehicle that I want to buy an import the Canada.
Same. I just bought a mark x with some slight fender damage. When asked them to take a video of the car running and more info about the damage they said no. This is my second car to import. When I bought my last car in 2015 (s15 from tradecarview) the seller sent me such an in-depth video and was super transparent. These guys do not appear to go out of the way to offer information and piece of mind to their customers. 100% regretting using these guys for this purchase.
Literally answered my question about the condition report and the cleaning is a bonus I looked at a civic type r yesterday that was a little dirty on the inside but was low km and in othwise good condition and it was cheap lol.
This is a really interesting video Sam. Can you find out if we can see a car in person while visiting Japan before purchasing? Living near Baltimore the RORO would be quite convenient for me. Beforward has been tempting me to get another project car..
ive been digging through Beforward since one of your other videos a few months ago. Really amazing how much u save skipping going through someone else to import. But im curious about the 3rd party listings on their site. does BF go through the cars and make sure everthing is correct? i ask cause cars directly from BF have alot more photos and info (engine codes)and the 3rd parties (mainly Skylines) dont even show single engine bay pic so you might be getting the wrong car like thinking your getting a rb26 and it ends up being a 25 or neo or something
Yes they check everything. I bought a car from a 3rd party and they made sure to list everything about the car. They translate it all so you can see what'swrong or how's it.
its hard to find any beforward info, its a mix of good and bad. i just decided to buy else where. the fee's you see is just convenience with a bit of mark up on their end. their most of their mini trucks are higher price than what you can get them for. auction price for them is under $1000. i bought an exact car frm auction and theyre selling it on beforward for double the price. im sure they have some deals but youll have to keep looking and you wont know if its a deal if you dont know what they for through the auction
befowards sells almost all vehicles as a middle man from a third party seller. They dont do any inspections on the cars before you buy or anything like thatS So you can end up with a complete shit box and they will just say too bad.
Well you see that they were put in a boat just like my Chinese ancestors😅 and shipped off. Great videos like usual, hopefully prices will be back to normal again where we can nab gtr's for $7,000 us before shipping😂
What is the process if the car is not bf stock? Is there towing charges to get from that dealer to bf yard? (Most likely I assume) How much can towing charges be generally?
Hello, I came across your video by chance and it really interested me. You can see the whole process of buying a vehicle from Be Forward, as they send the documents and the vehicle. My problem is that I've been on their site, I've spotted a vehicle I'm interested in, I've contacted them and despite numerous emails, I've had no reply from them. Is this normal? Is this site really reliable? Michael
Precisely 4 seconds in and am guessing this is yet another sponsored b forward video like the other 6. We want more auction videos Sam, we know how cars are exported as you’ve told us 20 times
just do your normal counties taxes. im looking at no more than 500 for all fees and paperwork. and id do more research on other importers, dont go with the first one thats advertisement to you. remember this is a sponsorship video. you wont find many reviews on beforward and if you do they are a few and mixed reviews and this is that its claimed they are the biggest importers. not saying dont use them but best to do some research, i almost clicked the purchase button on them twice but kept looking and found else where thats better and cheaper from the cost of the car (auction price with couple hundred bucks as commission) and way cheaper shipping (about 1/3 of befowards shipping price)
I paid $9100 for car and boat ride to Freeport, Tx. I used a Customs agent out of Austin. It cost $1250. Price may differ. $200 for Hoegh freight. And I opted to hire a shipping company to get car and bring it to me in Wichita Falls, Tx $500. And $530 for my taxes and registration at DMV. Hardest thing believe it or not was insurance. We ended up with progressive. Hagerty didn’t want me to drive it for full coverage.
That's what I'm wondering. I'm planning to move to GC this year and want to import a 350z but scared I won't be able to just drive it out and straight to the office to register it. Also low-key wondering if wiring/maintenance etc differ since it'll be a Japanese car, not an english one. 😅
Need to have compliance I believe. Some of the cars dont have side indicators (for examle) which the compliance service installs. Even if it has say side indicators, it needs to be checked & granted that it is compliant.
Sadly they wasted 2 weeks of my time and money. Horrible communication and they say that they reserved/locked a vehicle for me and I send 20k they're like oh sorry it sold you need to send more money for a different one. After 47 emails 4 cars being sold I requested a refund. We'll see if they send my money back. They haven't replied since I requested a refund of my money. Might not happen to everyone but it happened to me.
With having sold 166K cars last year the boys at B forward were selling 18 cars per hour every hour of the year that sink in
The white S15 NA is an Autech edition. They came with a 200hp high comp SR20DE and the stainless header is factory. The Autech had a candy apple red valve cover like the old S13 early DET. They also had bigger brakes.
I was going to say this lol
100%
I actually was about to say the same thing. Was freaking out when I saw that Sam actually reviewed the car I just bought!
I would like to add the "ducktail" spoiler he mentioned is actually the nismo spoiler.
Yep! When I saw the red top and after market extractors I was like yep!
Then saw the orange in the door cards and was like ‘double yep!’
Awesome video as always Sammit. Be Forward is such a awesome company they really take care of their customers.
Such an incredible well-made video showing the vehicle purchasing and exporting process. Should definitely age well as it seems very many people are interested in this.
I just bought an Altezza. I can’t wait for it to come
I work at beforward. It feels good knowing you guys are satisfied by our services. ❤

I really appreciate all the info on importing cars ! I plan on doing so very soon!
Awesome thanks for having this video

Nice informative video, I've dealt with Beforward and Yashu on 5 imports and have been very satisfied overall.
Hello,
Would you have an email or WhatsApp to contact Yashu please?
Thank you
You import with your self or the Be Forward sales coordinator helps you?
@faeqsarvari2304 I use a customs broker
Thanks for this video !!! Very helpful from 🇨🇦
Very good insights. I would like to ask how to import from Japan to Australia. You've made a video of that before would love to see an updated one
Those mitsubishi all-wheel drive turbos were called stealths in Canada
