We are actualy based in Melbourne but we buy cars for clients all over Australia, we would normally have the car complied in Sydney for you but we can arrange it down here if you prefer us to watch over the process for you ... the only thing you would have to take care of yourself would be the registration, although we can point you in the right general direction if necessary.

The prices of most 1989 models are fairly good at the moment but we do expect prices to rise a fair bit on most popular models before the end of the year - remember that we will be bidding against other countries with 15 year import laws also (like Canada)

The car that Shell posted above was for sale at Yahoo auctions for some time and was eventually sold for only 220,000 yen - that works out to be around AU$7,700 landed (plus compliance and rego), so maybe just under $10,000 on-road.

I should have also added that this was fairly cheap for the SIR model, you would normally be looking at around $8,000 to $10,000 landed (plus compliance and rego)

We have five more 1989 model SIR's and two nice SI's available for purchase right now if you are interested - prices range from $6,200 to more than $10,000 landed (plus compliance and rego)

For anyone else reading this post, compliance for most popular 15 year old cars will be around $800 to $1,500 depending on the actual car you buy, registration requirements in your state and how much of the work you want to do yourself.

Just have a look around on prestigemotorsport.com.au, though with them it looks like half are decent and half not so decent...

That's because the only cars that Prestige sends through to the public list and cars listed on Yahoo Japan... They are just teasers :D

LaL: I am using Geoff and have nothing but praise for him.

LW.

I'll put my 2c in,

I just imported an R32 GTR through Geoff, no bad hickups had the car in 6 mobnths as I had to wait for import in 2004, had the car early feb... was exteamly happy with the car.

****Edited by PranK - sorry, but no slagging of business'****

I have had dealings Geoff and have only good words about him, put your money with prestige...

I have my car and it is a great example.. there are a few on these boards that will varify its condition.. and to add to it, it was the cheepest on the site @ $14,700-

We were so impressed that my dad just bought and recieved a 92' V8 Soarer and it is also a beautiful example of a car..

Umm no offence but a deposit is just that .. its to cover him and his cost's for time etc looking for a car for you.. and hey it is a deposit you dont normally get deposits back.. How ever his rule is that you get 90% of it back.. so you loose about $100.. it seems fair enough to me..

No offense to Geoff but i cant trust him after all the stories ive heard.. but hes good.

Try Dairyboy.. hes the best. awsome prices and tells the truth allot!

Sounds to me like another person who has zero first hand experience making claims of untrustworthiness.

Stirlo_GTR,

have you recieved the GT-R ? Prestige tend do edit the auction sheets allot.. dairyboy is by far a great importer.. but doesnt give refunds if you have put a deposit then changed your mind :D

Id be very careful of the claims you are making.

If you would prefer to buy cars from your daiyboy friend then by all means, go for it. But do not come on this forum talking garbage about Prestige when its clear you dont know what you are talking about. You dont appear to have any first hand experience with buying vehicles from Geoff, and therefore no basis for criticism

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
