Been stuffed around heaps trying to find out who knew anything about the scratches, at the moment it seems hopeless but do have a few contacts I can get in touch with at the gold coast who can do a repair for me. Found a few scratches on the wheels and just wondering if anyone knows of any good places to get them repaired (Brisbane/Gold coast area).

Yeh I did go thru an import agent, isn't the first time i've imported either so I knew the risks that came with importing. Biggest hassle is the photos taken before it left Japan were fine,with the marks I knew displayed on the pictures, problem being the scratches have suddenly appeared so i'm guessing it happened during transit somewhere, it only being aesthetic is a bonus as thats the only problem. Apart from a few minor things extremely happy with what I got.

Word of advice for anyone thinking of importing, be there for every part of the transportation process from the docks thru to compliancing to just before it leaves the compliancers. Due to me being overseas at the moment it will quite possibly affect the outcome with insurance for the damage done, not being able to follow it up quick enough. Does suck big time not being able to do much but will definately be trying to sort it all out when i get back, will keep you updated on how it all goes.

Yeh have the shipping insurance going thru that at the moment, see how it ends up from what i hear it takes a while but worth a try.

Yeh seen a few over here in the US, gorgeous looking interior much more up to date now and the styling is very smooth. Looks like an overall awesome car, just need to get it back home

Yeh in the process of looking at all my options. Bit hard cos i'm overseas at the moment so really just need advice and people who've had this happen to them and what they did.

Hey just my car from the compliance show and when they said it was in very good condition I believed just that, fact is i'm overseas at the moment so didn't have the chance to see the car to justify the condition. Anyway girlfriend just informed there are numerous scratches and dents as tho a car has scraped the whole driver side plus scratches all over the bonnet, boot, rear numberplate and god knows where else. From the detailed pictures I got from Japan it had to have been done in transit or at the compliance centre. Just need to know how to go about this, am obviously extremely pissed off at the moment and need advice. Its looking like a complete respray for a car that was in perfect condition before it left Japan.

Hey just in the Seattle region for work, just wondering if anyone know of any good places across the US (preferably around seattle) that sell quality g35/v35 parts?

went thru just cars for mine, ended up being $800 with a $1200 excess was quite happy with that, live just outside of Brisbane too.

Got a 2003, silver, 6 speed and premium package (brembos, bose stereo, part leather interior) really come across a winner.

Prob should've added pics too, here's my V35: Apologize for the quality but when it gets here there'll be more

Hey all, Just thought i'll post here to say hi and to say that i'm in the process of importing my own v35 into the country as I speak. Bit of a background i was an ex supra owner and tho i really do miss her it was time to part and move on. Really happy with my purchase and hopefully within the next couple of weeks it'll have landed. Looking forward to many more posts on this forum and i'll keep updating as there might be a greddy twin turbo kit being implanted very soon. Cheers Robbo
