Hey there - does anyone have any good advice/tips on how to go about arranging to import a vehicle privately? I have made the decision (gulp) to buy an import and I went to an (un-named) yard to have a look at my chosen weapon of math instruction to be blown away at the over inflated price.

They seem to be the only yard around that does the car I am after (Stagea) so I thought I would look into importing it myself and getting it complianced here.

Any useful advice is bound to be worth a couple of virgins in the afterlife... :P)

PM replied to Dale! Hope that answers your question!

Look at J-Spec (Speak to Craig), Prestige or Imports101(speak to Danny they are Perth Locals) they will help you through getting the right stag and sorting out compliance etc!

Good luck champ!

Depending on what you want

local private sales these days are pretty good on price :D

I got better then import prices when i got my 33 and 32

you get the benifit to test drive and inspect the car before you hand over your money and there isnt a huge wait, while importing is all based on the paperwork which could be BS for all you know

    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good? 
    • Nice, is there a post with the new 4" dyno curve?
