Amrit: 2001 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R

I had been in touch with Kunal for a few years before finally pulling the trigger on my R34 GT-R. I started with the same dream as everyone else that is buying a GT-R. Because of several reasons, budget and other priorities I could not decide what I want to buy. I went back and forth on buying 32/33/34 and Kunal was patient, informative and was my trusted advisor throughout. Time came and we bid on a few R34 GT-R and finally landed one. Kunal handled all the paper work with breeze and the only thing I had to do was make the payment. I picked up the car several weeks later. It could not have been a better experience and easier process than this.

Mostafa: 1999 Nissan Stagea 25T RS-V

"I've always wanted to own a JDM import. Something with style to turn heads but also power to run. My friend Dougie had an R33 GTR that was really good and he told me that it was pretty easy to import. That's when he guided me to Kunal Arneja. Kunal is honestly the best in the business. Bar none! We started talking in September 2016 and decided to go for either a Toyota Aristo or a Mitsubishi Galant VR-4. I told him my budget and he would send me cars that I always liked and we'd try going for them. My budget was a bit tricky to work with. But he always found me amazing cars. We kept going and going on cars but I had to stop as I ran into some problems in October. Kunal was soooooo understanding of my situation and told me that its ok to back down for now.

In December 2016, we went back into it again, but this time we looked for the double unicorn; the legendary Stagea. A car with the power of a Skyline and the trunk space of a Bus. And literally the day before Christmas, we scored a mint 1999 Nissan Stagea RS-V 25t with an RB25DET and a Dolphin bodykit. And when I saw the car up close upon landing, I knew that this was meant to be. And its all because of the great and awesome Kunal Arneja. If you wanna import a JDM, Kunal is the man. He'll get you the best cars and he'll take care of you from A to Z and beyond. Thanks again for everything Kunal."

Doug: 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R Vspec

Initially I had contacted Kunal as perspective buyer as a 17 year-old college student having very little knowledge of what it costs to import a Nissan Skyline GT-R. I had limited funds at the time and was more-so looking for someone to give me a knowledge base and potentially place a deposit. Kunal was extremely helpful probably knowing that I was not able to purchase such a vehicle. After exchanging 50+ emails in 2014 which included asking him every possible question you could imagine – which he  answered ASAP I learned the process is not as easy as buying something off of eBay and although vehicles may be cheaper, the shipment and quality costs are not however they are worth the money. Fast forward to December 2015 I began searching locally (within Canada) for a 1992-1994 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32) as I figured they were cheaper than their superior younger brothers. I searched through Kijiji, GTRCanada websites, the basic routine. I got into contact with a Quebec importer (which will remain nameless) who was very sketchy and unsurprisingly cheap. After trying to put up with said importer for a few months (after winter has passed) I called it quits as the cars had a lack of vehicle history, auction sheets, and confidence when considering the purchase. It is now the first week of March 2016 and I recalled Kunal’s impeccable customer service and many emails we exchanged so I shot him a message and told him what I was going through. Being the kind of guy Kunal is he listened to my issues and offered me the opportunity of letting him be my importer – I thought it over and realized this this guy is the real deal he is professional, this isn’t his only business, he understands my position, my budget, what I’m looking for and what I have been through. He also showed me that the superior brethren (BCNR33 Nissan Skyline GT-R) was actually affordable for my budget – so being as excited as ever I sent him my deposit and it was the best experience ever. Although not ‘winning’ cars at auction the first few tries is discouraging I finally scored my 1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R VSpec for under budget on April fool’s day 2016. WhenI got the text from Kunal I thought he was messing with me, but he wasn’t, we scored and I had never bought something so expensive in my life (I daily a Hyundai Accent), with so much confidence – especially when you consider it was still in Japan. Kunal promptly gave me the break down on how everything is going to work. Nearly every day I eagerly filled Kunal’s inbox with messages regarding receiving my purchase like everyone else does, he was such a good sport about it. Throughout waiting the few months while my new baby was on its way home, I was reminiscing to Kunal of all the modifications I wanted to do, which he mentioned he had some parts laying around left over from his (impeccable) GT-R and if I wanted them I could come grab them, which I was all over. Upon registration I was having trouble with my local Service Ontario, so I gave Kunal a ring and of course, being the swell guy he is, gave me a walkthrough of what to do, what I needed to present, and everything necessary to make it all work out.

            The point I am trying to make here is that Kunal Arneja of Arneja Trading is in my opinion the absolute best in the business in terms of customer service, quality, results and cost, he has been there through it all with me since day one and still here today as I’m writing this while talking to him about a dyno run I did earlier today. He understands and talks to you on a personal and professional level so that you feel nothing but absolute confidence. All I’ve had to do through this entire process of purchasing my dream car was say; ‘Yes, no’ and sign. I will be purchasing again through him in the future if everything goes my way, I have recommended him to everyone I have met and will continue to do so. Members of the GT-R community that did not use Arneja Trading recommend Arneja Trading because they know Kunal will do his best in finding you the top quality car for your budget.

 

Thank you, Kunal Arneja, of Arneja Trading for making a dream come-true.

Pavith: 1996 Toyota Supra SZ-R

I had first contacted Kunal in January of 2015. My dream car that I was looking forward to have imported to Toronto was a Toyota Supra particularly the Series 2. Despite the long list of questions that I had, Kunal was one to patiently answer them all to the best of his abilities. After establishing the maximum bid price that I could play with, Kunal went forward and placed our bid on a very rare naturally aspirated 1996 Toyota Supra SZ-R which came with the 6-Speed Getrag transmission. I was particular about having the SZ-R because I wanted a Supra that fit my budget but also had great potential towards building in the future. We ended up winning our first ever bid way below the budget that we had set it out to be. After the car had been won, there were many videos and images sent and it is very thorough so you know what you are purchasing. One of the best moments was seeing the car arrive at my house. I could not be any happier with the quality of service and product that Kunal has provided. I would strongly recommend anyone looking forward to importing a piece of JDM history to go through Arneja Trading.

Lizzie: 2000 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R Vspec II

I am so happy with my recent import through Arneja Trading.  I contacted Kunal because he seemed to be the "GT-R guy" in Canada and I thought he would be able to find me my dream R34.  He worked tirelessly for 6 months, bidding on multiple vehicles before he secured me a V.spec II.  He was available at all times to take my questions by phone or email and arranged everything up to delivery in Vancouver.  I would highly recommend Arneja Trading for any of your future importing needs!

Joe: 1990 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R

As a U.S. buyer, I was concerned about the rising costs and lower quality of many GT-Rs for sale. I contacted Kunal to look into 25 year old GT-Rs still in Japan or Canada.

Through every step of the way, Kunal was extremely attentive and helped turn a complicated process into an easy one. He found a number of cars that fit my requirements and would ask if I wanted to pursue further. He would then dig in and provide more details about the car. 

Kunal found a great GT-R in Toronto that checked all of my boxes. He provided so many details, pictures, and a video of the car that made buying it an easy decision. He even arranged for a few minor items to be replaced before I picked up the car. When I arrived to pick up the car, Kunal spent tons of time going over details of the car and providing advice based on his years of involvement with GT-Rs. 

Buying this car with Kunal's expertise and guidance was a great experience that I plan to repeat for my future R33 and R34.

Sean: 1993 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R

I was skeptical and nervous about importing a car from Japan without physically seeing it first. With Kunals help at Arneja Trading I became confident that the car I would end  up with would be exactly what I had originally pictured driving. I had a rather low budget considering the kind of vehicle I was looking for. Kunal made the most out of the money I had to play with and eventually we won a 1993 R32 GT-R below budget. The car had been won via auction and would be making its way to my home in Alberta shortly after. The importation process was rather easy going for myself as Kunal took care of the legalese and legwork required to bring a vehicle over from Japan. Now with the car in my possession and being driven daily I realize I really lucked out with such a solid car for the money I paid. I view Kunal more as a friend rather than an import broker as I know I wouldn’t have been able to land a vehicle without his guidance and input on every vehicle we bid on and eventually won.

Arash: 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R Vspec

If it weren’t for Kunal Arneja we wouldn’t be proud owners of an R34 GT-R. He caught on to our passion for building cars and knew the exact way to bring that JDM Nissan love in us back out to play. Many years ago we used to discuss about getting an R34 GT-R but never thought we would be able to actually own one. The idea of an R33 as a daily driver was always an option in our minds but years later we are now holding the keys to one of the fastest heavily modified Nissan Skyline R34 GT-Rs in North America. He definitely looks out for the best interest of the client. These guys aren’t interested in making money off car enthusiasts but rather are determined to assist in finding the perfect suitable car for the client that is damage free and reliable.
