Has anyone inported a Nissan?

[Peachey 10]

Ok, so I called Nissan again today to get my letter of compliance and they asked if I had the work done to my car. I said "No, I just want the letter, and you can put on it that the daytime running lights don't conform, it's ok".

The girl explains that I can not get the letter until I modify my lights. So:

Step 1: Get a hold of the people at the department of transportation and ask what colour my lights need to be

Step 2: Get them modified at a dealership

Step 3: Dealership sends letter to department of transportation saying my lights have been modified

Step 4: Department of Transportation sends me a letter saying that my car is ok

Step 5: Sent said letter from DoT to Nissan

Step 6: Nissan sends me letter of compliance.

Doesn't this seem a little excessive? Also, the number the girl gave me for the DoT is a fax machine... Also, what is the DoT gonna do with a letter about a Canadian car? I don't really think they will care.

I have just over a month to get all these steps done, doesn't seem feasible to me.

Anyone imported a Nissan and had these problems before? If so, how did you go about it.

Thanks

Ok, so Varba called the DoT for me since I was so frustrated and apparently I don't need to do a DAMN THING to my lights.

So I called Nissan back, told a different girl this, and she's sending me the letter, but with a note that says the daytime running lights need to be changed...

at least I'm getting the letter...

I was originally going to bring over mY nissan--but sold it----but I called them up, and they faxed me the letter within minutes!! I just needed the vehicles VIN and that was it.

Excellent

I see Danu had the same thing:

yeah, i have my nissan compliance letter, it doesnt say i need my daytime running lights disabled, just dimmed...I'm not going to bother. If nissan won't do it because its not economically feasible, neither will I I think its retarded that volvo is giving you such a hard time on everything pop. At this point I would be so furious I would make them take the damn thing back.

Flames almost imported his Nissan - I think he ended up giving it away before moving though

1 of the above links has the contact info for each car manufacturer to get the compliance letter! Some charge a fee, some do not!! Nissan didn't and faxed it to me within minutes. Ensure u have the VIN handy
