This month, Top Secret and Smoky Nagata planned to come to the United States to compete in this weekend’s Texas Mile event at its new venue in Beeville. But once again, all the chess pieces didn’t fall into place. Top Secret had to once again postpone their Stateside visit.
Thankfully, the reason this time around is not due to natural disasters, but instead because the V12 Supra did not clear US customs in time. We will keep everyone updated on the Stateside movement of the V12 Supra and Top Secret as they arise.

how do customs screw this up? It's a famous car, from a well known tuner, not a random guy bringing in a sketchy box with a personal car.
honestly, i wouldnt be surprised if customs pulls some drama and has it shipped back to japan.
with the amount of wasted resources trying to crush skylines, i wouldnt put it past ICE to deny this car entry as well.
they probably saw smokey's 200mph UK highway video and are having a hissy fit trying to get it off US shores.
those same people then go home and break the speed limit on the way there.
hypocrites.
Damn, that would piss you off wouldn't
waaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!! seriously??!!!
Desktop of that one pleaaaase
little bit of a pity.. i wish he'd pass to our UK shores tho' - keep us posted!
DAMMIT
Mr. Smokey Sir, we need to have a certified driver deliver the car from port to your final destination, that is required by US law, can you hand me the keys? Thank you. (wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!)
Its just too gnarly for the US.
Dont take this the wrong way, but waiting to see this Supra is like waiting for the second coming, only its the first.
very nice car.
that's a supra? wow man what happened
How did customs screw this up? More like, who screwed the paperwork up? I worked for years with customs, they don't really give a damn whats in the container, as long as the paperwork is in order.
Really disappointing. Of course I'll never see this car in the flesh anyway as I live in Australia
Now everyone is going to have blue balls again.
well that sucks.....but thankfully its a legitimate reason so all is well
DAMN YOU US CUSTOMS!!!!!!!
Its top secrets own foult.. for not sending it way ahead in time.
Dock Inspector #1: "Must be sumthin Top Secret!". It says "Top Secret" right on it.
Smokey: "so so. Top Secret"
Dock Inspector #2: "you gonna let him bring top secret stuff past us Bob?"
Smokey: "wait. what?"
Dock Inspector #1: "I don't think so, mister!"
@matsnorway umm did u forget that a RECENT and MAJOR incident happened in japan? honestly...
Hello, we are monitoring this blog post. All of your IPs are being recorded. For every sarcastic comment about the US Customs agency on Speedhunters.com, we will dump one container of RB26s into the ocean. If you peons continue to malign our good name, we will be forced to start banning entire JDM front clips from entering America. If you really make us mad, we'll declare glass headlights contraband and begin seizing them on sight.
Thank you,
The Man.
If i was the broker I wouldn't have let this happen. Its a race car not a nuclear bomb it cant be that hard to clear!
this car is absolutely beautiful.
@US CUSTOMS AGENT
lol. you are not US CUSTOMS. Anyways, this is pretty sad. =(
@mazdaspeed619sd
Obviously a little tongue in cheek humour and sarcasm is beyond your comprehension. Who let you use the computer?
@mazdaspeed619sd You didn't get it, now did you? :))) Sad that it didn't pass the customs. Awesome car, nonetheless!
