  1. Only feedback I could provide: Are you looking to buy a car dealership? Or a car. Are you looking to buy documentation and paperwork? Or a car. I'm hoping the answer to both is, you're looking to buy a car. So, go have a look at the car. Ignore the km on the dash. Ignore the claimed auction grade. Ignore the Australian service history that the dealer has apparently done... Look at the car. Look at how the seats are. Look at the wear on the gear stick. Steering wheel. Does The interior smell like cigarettes. Etc etc. Drive it. What's the engine, suspension and paint like? Decide from there No matter what dealer you buy from that is still the same car man. Make your own choice
  2. Hahaha f**k up Miguel! They are cool no doubt. My mate has one. Facts: 1ggte motor Weak gearbox Worn interior Rust No coilover off the shelf option Rear suspension is separate spring and shock so pain in ass Rust Obsolete parts catalogue I really don't get why these are cool. Hahaha I love my mates though. It's sick.
  3. Lol birds Next week, Going rim shopping tomorrow
  4. No you made this bed you lay in it.
  5. It's getting: Nothing. It's just so I don't park my black soarer out in the sun during summer at work + in dusty industrial area. That said, topless Mira is mint also but least I dont feel bad about it. Literally EVERYONE cracks up laughing at it. It great. It IS however getting cut springs. 14in ssr wheels. A nardi wheel I have and a bubble dildo shifter Piss yeah
  6. Like me Jokes I have a soarer. But yesterday I bought a 660 cc daihatsu Mira convertible, Kristian will be mad but I got it for cheap. $1300 and a pair of nike shoes his way. 106xxx km too. Shit is real. Kris if you're reading, this doesn't affect my will to buy crown majesta
  7. Kristian can probs do it Ps why are Edward lees allowed to have the living shit bagged out of them constantly on this forum (rightly so or not, fact is, they are allowed to be bagged out) meanwhile certain compliance workshops here out west get protected and receive warnings if we bring up their rip off dealings
  8. Not to go off topic however the 1g is a fine motor If you take it for what it is... Ie: accept the fact it's a 2.8 liter six that isn't intended for large power and has head gasket issues from it's old age. If you do that it's fine Same goes with the rb25... If you accept that it sucks then it's not that bad :-D (tricking)
  9. He's going vvti 1jz soon... Reason being is because he hopes to keep the car forever and vvti 1jz is a safe reliable bet ThT said... He has a fresh 1g... So that's going to be in there for a while
  10. ^^^ exactly Importing is a purists game. Nothing more. Importing is not for the guy wanting to save a grand off buying local anymore... Importing is for the guy that wants "that one" My friend recently got his gx71 chaser imported done registered n dusted all done... He had the choice of building an mx73 Cressida with a 1jz conversion with r154 5mt by buying locally... However instead he spent 9-10 grand importing a gx71 chaser instead, 1gge motor, 5mt... 62,000km Grade 4.5 Grade a interior This thing is beautiful. Absolutely immaculate The other night we were driving on the freeway beneath the over passes in Perth.. And now Its lowered on cut springs Tsurikawa hanging off the tow hook Tsurikawa in the interior Ma61 supra rims polished And my god. Seeing that car... That 24 year old car looking brand new swimming up the freeway, followed by my soarer... Would be an amazing sight. I honestly don't care what anybody says. Nothing is as captivating on the road as an imported car. My advice is if you want the car, it's going to be worth it no matter what you come across... So do it
  11. Alkatraz.. Why the mean post man?? Your post implies that west Australian workshops charge too much money to do the same thing someone else will do for half the cost. What gives??? That's slander man. I bet that the next thing you're gonna say is how they whinge n moan all day about how people that work over east aren't as good as the ground they walk on and that 6k is not a just cost!!! You're so mean.
  12. Lachlan - if you get it at current bid price, 70,000¥ Then allow fob fees, broker, shipping gst tax quarantine etc Looking at about 7 grand landed and "complied"
  13. To old mate in the gunmetal R32 GTR who came up behind me exiting roe highway at 3am last night and decided to street race me as I was trying to casually change lanes to make a turn... and come very close to hitting my soarer in the process, please be more careful ey??? That was bloody stupid. I had my indicator on and was carrying two lots of very precious sleepy cargo. Don't do that shit please
  14. Yeah man, importing your own car, liaising with federal and state government and warfings and compliance and towing and dealing with every speedbump on the way while trying to live your regular life so you can save less than 1000 dollars sounds like a real hoot I'd do it
  15. ^^^ in addition to the MONTHS wait you have to wait to get an inspection time because the government has flicked all these switches which causes the result we now deal with, which is: Massive demand and strain on the inspection centers + limited resources. Think about it. There's like. What. 6/8 centers in the metro area. Each centre has what. 2 lanes and sometimes1 lane?? Thats ~10/12 lanes functioning. On centers that are only open till 4pm mon-fri. Each inspection takes 1h+ That's about 70-80 odd cars that can be inspected daily. Not really relevant to the topic, but think about it. Our state car transport portfolio relies on this system Our police do their bit to fuel this issue by handing out a more than necessry amount of defect notices, as well as people trying to get all sorts of new, used, private and dealership cars to be registered Our entire city relies on this system which is only resourced to process 70-80 cars daily.. Think about that for a moment. it's crazy
  16. It is, but it's nothing that can't be attained in Perth man Just stay away from the dealers over here haha And besides, it's a Nissan. Odo reading means nothing. Nissans will break down at 300,000 same amount as they will at 40,000 (you think I'm joking dont you!!!)
  17. It is easier to make your entire fist fit in your bottom. That is all I'll say. Not only do you need to remove all mods. You also need to re-engineer many things... plus the dickhead inspectors scrutinize everything import car coming from interstate. It sucks Buying interstate is about as brain taxing and stressful as importing. Except the end result isn't as exciting
  18. Dale you realize this is like the 7th time that you have agreed with me.... .....
  19. Yeah man you're getting private insurance mixed up with compulsory third party insurance (registration) Two different things. If it was an accident like, an ACTUAL MISTAKE.... and he's not insured with a company... And ROB isn't insured. Then it's settled. Tell the guy to A) fk off B) suck a dick If he has a problem then just call up three of your black friends to go run a train on his ass and turn his body into a playground. Simple!
  20. Hey all! okay SO - one of you MUST HAVE or MUST KNOW someone with a ratty novelty themed old styled garage... you know.. wooden walls, STP signs.. old oil barrels. lanterns etc... if anybody knows anyone or a PLACE that is resemblant of the description I'm chasing... PM if you know someone ok? -Ta
  21. i hate you guys. haha unreg car - tough shit. if the car is unreg then it's uninsured. he can take you to court or whatever but if he has no rego to be on the road then tough shit for him. that said. if "rob" is at fault, then fkn pay it. it's 600$. not the end of the world really. it's easier to pay 600 bucks and send dipshit mcgee on his merry way than it is to: worry about it write forums posts about it get other people like your sisters boyfriend or whatever involved go to court involve police involve insurance etc etc etc all over $600. i've filled up tanks of fuel worth more than that!
  22. if you import 2 cars at the same time there is potential to save a couple hundred dollars here n there.. but ultimately no it isn't cheaper because most of it is government charges and labour... as for the wood thing - please get clued up on modified pre 89 imports. it basically is there to stop people like hot rodders from bringing in: Model T Ford w/ chopped roof and 15in wide rear wheels with a custom tub rear, with an LS7 engine conversion... that has been built onto the chassis of a chrysler PT cruiser in 2007. ^^^ it was to close the loophole that gave potential importers the ability to import "pre 89" cars with them being pre 89 purely on face value. however in the wake... it's affected an entire market of people unable to import their cars. I should also note that import approval is still given the "yes" or "no" approval by the same people and REALISTICALLY not much has changed. however you mentioned something something something built the car out of wood because you thought it was cool to be Armish in 1994 - in that example its best to speak to australias dept of transport about it.. just in case. would hate to see youre claptraption be declined import approval due to no homework being done.. ..that's all i was saying
  23. ^^^^ the Morgan sounds like it may be an issue. With the instance of chassis modded pre 89 cars, definitely call the iron chef... If he has time of course :-)
  24. Omfg a shakotan meet. I *just* came. MOAR? Sauce?
  25. Oh freals? Best of both worlds :-) lol jk skylines suck :-p
