Hi all, anyone who used SVI or J-spec here have any feedback? As I am based in Brisbane, where SVI is I'm more keen to go with them but J-Spec seems to be a very popular option. Just wanna hear some feedback from people who've used SVI before. PM me if you need to.

Cheers

+1 for J-spec.... Just got my Stagea a few days ago, and so far I'm absolutely stoked with it.... Cheapest S1 I've seen, and very clean throughout.... Also have to say that I'm very happy with Seaway/KIWI.

i work for j-spec :) they rock. think we've imported 99% of the stagea's on this forum.

I fall under this percentage - my silver baby is currently in transit and Mr Moor's assistance has been outstanding. :D

Viva La J-Spec! :)

Ben and Craig at J-Spec really look out for you. I've imported 3 cars now, 2 with J-Spec and I have been thru the process with other companies and haven't found them as "YOU" focussed as J-Spec. I am fussy about ANY surface rust anywhere on the car and Ben simply checked every car that looked good and even if it was a specced up brilliant car, if it had any r-u-s-t he would steer me away from it, even though he could have let me buy and got me outa his hair many times. You'll be happy with what you end up with, with J-Spec... Another well known company was happily dishing up 15 or so Legnums I could buy every day (when I thought that was what I wanted). Ben knew what I wanted, clued me in on Legnums (95% will have some minor rust, somewhere in/on the car - just a well know reality - but said he would hunt for one if I really wanted one!) and faithfully searched for what I wanted in a Stagea (RWD, mods, fruit, km's, etc) and it took 8 weeks to find something we were both happy with. Because of him I will own a more dependable, reliable, modification-friendly, value-packed and, importantly, 'hold it's value' kind of vehicle. If my wife doesn't enjoy the firm ride or the recaros or something, I can make a small profit, move on and get another vehicle from Japan. I'm the type of guy who is very particular about being dealt with kindly and professionally. Couldn't fault J-spec... Even when there's been little on offer in the auctions for a particular day, and I send them a query about 3 or 4 cars, they respond with ALL the relevant details - with a smile!

It's all about service... and the car!

  • 1 month later...

Can't recommend J-Spec enough.

Both Craig and Ben were very helpful in the 6 months they searched high and low for a factory Black Series 2 Stagea with leather, high grade, factory body kit, log books etc to my specifications.

Why it took 6 months?- because these are very rare in black with leather, log books etc in Japan.

They did offer to refund all costs if they didn't find anything suitable within 8 weeks of searching but I was so impressed with their service, persistance and resilence that I knew one would come up sooner or later... and it did.

J-Spec rocks and I wouldn't hesitate in using them again- they know the import business inside/out!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
    • I dunno what the "best" one is....but when my 040 died late last year, after about 20 years of screaming service....I put in a 255. Like any such thing, you have to finagle it a little bit - it's not a no-brain swap. But it's not hard.
