Okay, I have an update to my site, and was wondering if I can for example import the forums mysql part. Meaning I have a new forum with the new 1.8 update but I would like to insert users forum posts and the forums.

Is this possible?
not easily. there are many changes in tables structure of the database.
Okay, an update I managed to import users/posts and whatnot and forums, only thing is I have I only have one forum if that makes sense, even though I've imported the forums from the other database :/

^ sorry - I'm confused.
do you mean you have imported forums & they are not visible
or you have only one forum and it would not be difficult to import

for the first one, rebuild & recount options at tools & maintenance section might help
for the second one, you can try it.
I've fixed the issue.

I had to delete one of the forums to update the main import of other forums.
No, it's not possible to alter database before import. But you can install xamp or wamp then import your database and delete stuff there then export and import to a new site.

I know is lot of work, but it will work if you are looking to do this way. Otherwise is bit tricky and requires you to know SQL commands to remove tables.

- Hope that helps!
