stereo install

I have a delica and an estima lucida and I want to replace the stereos on. The original Japanese stereo are cassette type, etc. I went to a local installer (Gibsons, BC) who told me that the grounds are different and that it is a big headache to install a western type stereo.

Vancouver agents for Nissan Motor Car Carrier Co. Ltd.

Does anyone know who are the Vancouver agents for Nissan Motor Car Carrier Co. Ltd.?

I found that Greer Shipping were the agents for NYK Lines, but need the Nissan agents.

Re: Placing order in Japan

Tell me again about the cost savings on shipping... I just got a Toyota Estima Lucida and a Delica Spacegear for 1481 and 1530 shipping respectively.

I could see paying $2k on a Bongo dumper or something like that.

Greer Shipping / NYK Lines Agents - Gabrielle

Not sure where I saw something about these people on-line, but I found them very helpful when I received by Bill Of Lading without a "SURRENDERED" stamp on it. Talk nice to them, they like it.... I had to courier the original B/L to them for approval and they emailed a release to WWL. Phew...
