Where to buy?


Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend somewhere on the Gold Coast or in Brisbane who specialises in Skylines or other imports?

Im looking at purchasing an R33 auto model with pretty much stock gear. Would I be right in getting one for around 20K? Im not really sure what to look for, but the newer the car is the better.

Any ideas are welcome. Sorry if its been asked before (I couldn't find anything)

Cheers.

definately the best place is Advanced Auto Imports at Albion in Brisbane.

They have been open almost 10 years, since the whole importing thing started. I have had 4 mates buy cars from there and never had a problem.

speak to barry, he is champion. they will look after you. Pretty sure they have some autos in stock

20K you would be gettin ripped off or gettin a pristine condition skyline with very low KM's you should definately shop around, skyline imports in brisbane is as its name a skyline importer, good reputation its always featured in magazines, mine was from wilsons classic cars on ferry rd southport, lots of imports around that street but have to look carefully at them

Hey BLeR,

I have an '95 R33 Gts25t Auto with stock engine, and great factory options like sunroof, 10cd stacker and geniune skyline floor coverings, plus I've spent another 7 grand on 17" mags, 3" exhaust with dump pipe, tinted windows and a full bodykit.

I imported it myself almost 3 years ago and am only asking $20,000 (registered in QLD)

[email protected] if your interested

yeep, you get what you pay for and a 93 model for 14K would be a heap'o'shito! :uh-huh:

I can see it now, cig burns, fogged up headlights, the skyline badge at the back all worn off, 140,000 geniune k's but the clock reads 75,000, power windows that rattle inside the doors when down oh..and lets not forget the trademark 13 year old skyline signature...worn handbrake, and stearing wheel leather.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
