Im coming down the coast in a few weeks (im in mackay) to buy a new car (import) and i dont have a very wide knowledge of the caryards down there. I'll be travelling all around the Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast areas, so would you's be able to list the import yards in those areas that you know of?

Btw- Ill be buying a nissan.

Cheers

Theres a rather nice one on Old cleveland road at coorparoo. They always seem to have something a little different and at least try to present their stock in a tidy manner. The guys seemed friendly enough too.

Theres another on the western end of the magic mile that looks like it takes a little pride in what it does too.

AutoForce was the name of the one at Eight Mile Plains - just down the road from Garden City shopping centre. Like I said its been a while but the head guy there always put well presented cars on the lot and most of them already had the kit/wheels/paint done so you didn't have to worry about it... pay for it tho...

If thats the one that was just before Miles Platting road on the left I dont think they are there any more.

I got mine from a place called Brisbane Unique Cars. They have a website. The guys there are rather nice and will move on price on the cars. Just get your own Roadworthy done rather then theirs just to be safe. I got a feeling the roadworthy done on my car wasn't too great so I got somebody else to check it out and Brisbane Unique Cars were more then happy to fix the problems found.

What are you looking for???

Modified, stock, R32/33/34, GTS/GTST/GTR

Price range???

Honestlly, Your best off having a look at whats for sale here on SAU...

You will buy 3-5k cheaper than a yard, and most of us know the cars/owners already...

(So you can get a second or third opinion)

haha got to be stupid to buy from springwood/underwood yards.. all of them are greedy cocks..

buy private.

organise a weekend to come down and look at all of them at one time..

or u can buy the R34 GTT 54,oookms silver. est 185kw+ for 20k with R33 rims of 22k with the 18" Volk TE37

AJM motorsports on Compton Rd, near underwood or Kingston i think. They have good cars, but can be dodgey ive heard. One good thing about buying fom a dealer is that you get a warranty with your purchase. You can always negotiate the price.

If u ever get up to Marybrough, Brad Bottcher used cars up there is really good, got awesome quality cars and prices cheaper than most car yards in the Brisbane area. I got mine from there :D

I see that yard regularly on my way to hervery bay. He does present his stock in a clean and proffessional manner. :blink:

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
