so... from my experience getting an American vehicle in to candian database is not a big deal... it all depends on how courteous and friendly the dealerships are.
Pretty ballsy of you to buy one without knowing about the warrantee. I had seriously considered doing that given I will be saving about $ 7k on the purchase which I figured could cover a whole lot of work on the car. My real concern was twofold - first I would likely have worried that something catastrophic might happen and second it would have hurt the resale.

Anyway, I'm glad I don't have to sweat it about the warrantee and it is largely because I have a local dealer / service manager who sees no problem in registering the car with Nissan's database. I mean they will be getting the service work and making money on it so why should they be jerks about it ?

When I first phoned the US Infiniti 1-800 number they gave me that misinformation about the car had to be registered in the US for 6 months. It took me a while to get rid of all the BS and I must say that this forum has been a great help.

Thanks you guys for your help.

I'm about a week away from taking delivery of my G35 Journey / Serengeti Sand / wheat / premium /tech / nav / wheels

Cost $320 US. It turns out to be a relatively easy problem. Anybody having problems I'm sure could call Bill Dodge Infiniti in Maine...good guys.

G arrives finally on Sunday.

Good luck to all importing. Cheers.
Good stuff, I am glad it was an easy fix. We should definitely arrange a mini-meet sometime after you take delivery of your G.

Off to England next week, but maybe early fall for a game. ? Kingswood.
RBull-nice drive from Dartmouth to F'ton in the fall.

Shane-where is a good quality place to get tinting done in the River Valley area?

I'd definitely be up for a game a Kingswood and sometime in September would work well. I am actually in tournaments 3 out of the 4 weekends in August.

I got my windows tinted at 3M Trimline in Saint John and was very happy with their work. I am not sure if Freddy has a 3M Trimline but it might be worth checking out.

Btw, have a great time in England. Are you going for vacation or business?

Well guys got the G35x this morning in Houlton. The dealer drove 4h to meet me at the border...awesome service from these guys.

The car was perfect and I am having a ball.

Total time to get paper work done at both borders - 20 mins.

Don't let any naysayers get you down. It is dead simple to do.

Best of luck to everyone importing the G.

If your ducks are in row it is simple. The worst part was getting my paperwork from RIV after the car was in Canada.

Well i am glad to see Infiniti/Nissan is being good about the US/Canada importing because most manufactures(not the dealers) are now resfusing warrenty on US imported cars. I am sure Nissan will not be far behind once the dealers start to complain more.

Hey this is my real concern. I have all my ducks in a row and the car is being picked up on Tuesday at the dealer, then brought back to Canada. I have a broker at the border doing the paperwork for me but I'm told that by regular methods the RIV guys can take up to a couple of weeks to get you the Form 2 so it can be inspected. I have asked the broker to email their paperwork and ask that RIV email the F2 form directly to me. I sure as hell don't want to wait 2 weeks with the G sitting in my garage and I can't drive it.

Can you tell me your experience with getting this form ?
