So I've Decided To Import An R32

Employ a good customs agent, they will handle all the import paper work from you. Prices range around $200ish.

Someone organised Seaway logistics, customs agent license number 1383 to contact me. Don't know if it was Jspec or JPV. anyway, I'll send them the import approval then, and I'll call J-Spec as soon as the office opens.

sounds like it would've been j-spec. I used them to import my car, and seaway handled the transporting side of it

after all the hassles you seem to have gone through its great tosee u have all the approval and everything sorted out ( can never be too many lines in aus lol)

but it makes me glad iwent through a broker for my import and they organised compliance and everything even registration

It wasn't anyones fault but my own, I didn't ask enough questions, and thought I knew more than I actually did.

J-spec have been awesome. I talked to Craig again and he has been a great help, Also Sam from Japanese performance vehicles helped me a lot.

What I should have done is tell Craig that I was a newbie and needed the steps outlined for me, instead what I did was make some assumptions, and if it wasn't for J-spec checking up on me, I could have been in the sh!t.

The car carrier docked today, so I'll be getting the call soon and it'll be at my door in a day or two. I feel like a kid just before christmas!

OK, so the car is in my driveway now, pretty excited. Had a couple of q's though:

The exhaust is cactus. The front pipe, and cat are pretty rough, though the underbody is fine. Does this indicate anything?

Also, for compliance, do I have to find a stock front pipe, or can I use a stainless front/dump pipe, such as the one in batmbl's group buy?

Should I get it complied with the rather well worn stock exhaust, or can I put on a new cat back for compliance? Do they do EPA and noise tests for compliance?

I'll post pics when I get the chance. I leave home in the dark, and I get home in the dark, so no photo opportunities yet.
