Import Monster

best news I've had all week

ah, gotcha

If the LV New holders are willing to sell their evidence package, then definitely - but otherwise, it'll be the same process as for any other car. 6 months of tests and pain and expense

Hi Mate have a few in stock, do you require one with a lower lip? http://www.importmonster.com.au/shop/produ...products_id=979 This one has no lower lip http://www.importmonster.com.au/shop/produ...products_id=982 Also have another complete one with minor damage, but complete with lip for $600

Hi Mate I have a complete set for $300 - perfect condition:) Cheers Aaron

that's kinda what I was driving at

How long did it get held for and why mate? I've never had a scenario when AQIS have caused a hold up at the docks, provided all paperwork and so on is in order. And those rare instances where I have had to pay storage it's at $45 a day and never for more than a couple of days!

I have both here mate, shoot me your email addy and I'll get you pics

awesome mate, let's do it - you can get me on 0390080031 - am in the shop 10-6 Tues-Fri and 9-12 on saturdays

As I understand it, that's not hard

Hi Guys, a mate has been defected for having a light tint on his tail lights and we just need a drivers side one to get the defect cleared. East side preferred, but if you can deliver to Bayswater am happy to pay for your time Cheers Aaron Import Monster

exactly what I need Matt, I'll take them mate

Hey Mate I have these ones ready to go immediately, you could have them Friday if it's super urgent http://www.importmonster.com.au/shop/produ...products_id=956 or the partial set will be coming in next week - just waiting on customs clearance so we can get the gear through quarantine atm. Happy to sell singles and can send pics once they're here CHeers Aaron

Heya Mate I have a manual Series 2 diff here - $350.

Hi Mate do you need an immaculate one, or will a rough one do? I have a set of 3 coming in soon - bit scratched up but perfectly serviceable

http://www.importmonster.com.au/shop/produ...products_id=979 http://www.importmonster.com.au/shop/produ...products_id=982 (lip has been sold) I have another one just in, will be uploading pics etc early next week

Hi Mate, a fellow SAU'er placed a deposit on the kit on Friday night so she is now considered sold - but I will be keeping my eyes out for other good examples http://www.facebook.com/pages/Import-Monst...;id=31456643067 http://www.facebook.com/pages/Import-Monst...id=270991753067 I'll put some more pics up before we start chopping her up Cheers Aaron

All good mate. Since switching, I've not had any car so much as scratched and also interesting to note that I've not had anything stolen off the cars either. Maybe it's a coincidence...

Hiya Mate am keeping these ones to go along with the front conversion - but so far I've had interest expressed in several different bits on their own so I may end up selling it all seperately at this rate. Will let you know how that goes

I have a series 1 stagea here with a full conversion which I am about to start parting out, drop me a line to sales@importmonster.com.au Quality of the kit is very good - masa guards and bumper, genuine 34 gt-r hood - 34 gt lights with HID's Also includes rear over fenders to balance out the fat guards at the front

have a set of standard struts and springs from a 97 gts-t, good shape for $250

Hi Mate I have two right now, both are in great shape. One HKS Super Dragger, 3.5" Mild steel piping with centre muffler and stainless rear muffler $440 One HKS Priest, which is identical to the above but full stainless all the way. $500 Both great systems for dulling down the RB bellow, but still giving a nice sound when you open the taps

One other point to mention for cars coming into Brisbane Kiwi Car Carriers (aka Hoegh Autoliners, represented in Australia by Seaway agencies) sole port of discharge in Oz is Brisbane. Kiwi now have an arrangement with AQIS to clean cars to Australian standards at port in Japan, prior to being loaded on the vessel. Cars coming on Kiwi vessels now have no need to be presented to AQIS for inspection. This may account for why you've not had many/any cars needing steam cleaning coming into Bris.

That's a fair sting for towing mate - my main towie here in Melb charges us $99 to pick up from port and then $88 for other runs that are just Metro. And he's not some rough as guts guy who has nfi about what he's towing either. I can't agree more with you on the steam cleaning process - I've honestly seen some immaculate cars marked as needing to be cleaned and then had cars with grass jammed up in the wheel wells get waived through. I have no problem with needing it done if the car is a quarantine hazard, but the people doing the checking have nil consistency! I had 5 cars in a row go through last month without needing cleaning. Because one of them had been damp inside in Japan, in the heat on the docks here the mildew was literally 3" high on the seats - apparently this is not an issue for AQIS. Yet a spotless Stagea got pulled in for steam cleaning this week - go figure. Anyway, with the steam cleaning, the process is this. Car arrives to Port, once customs have done their thing and released it, your broker or shipping agent books AQIS to inspect. You get charged by Aqis for this inspection. Aqis go to port and inspect the car - if they deem it is ok, we get the all clear and the car gets picked up and then taken to compliance. If they decide the car needs to be cleaned, then it must go to a QAP (Quarantine approved premises) and be washed. Quarantine then come out again (you're charged again for this inspection and any subsequent reinspections) to inspect and give it the ok. You can do your research, speak to various QAP's and see what they charge. You can also go and visit them and see if you like the way they do business. I've heard and seen some appalling things over the years through a few different QAP's and finding the right QAP to use for your car is as important as the right compliance shop. Remember the QAP is merely an approved business for cleaning cars to AQIS standards. It is not a Govt department - they want your business and should provide a service commensurate with their charges. Hope this helps
