Hi Guys,

Does anyone know of any reliable importers who can ship to Melbourne? I've looked at using J-Spec but they don't seem to reply to emails nor do they have a contact number, so I don't think I'll be using them. If someone could recommend me a decent importer it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

TCX

J-Spec gets hundreds of emails a day, so you just need to be a little patient for their reply :P

other than that, they are a good import company, i got my r33 through them, very happy, i'd recommend them :)

Or ring Tim (Soon to be posting some cars for sale on SAU), the number posted in my signature.

He is a private importer and has some nice cars for sale, well looked after and good condition.

Call him for more details.

+1 for being patient with J-spec. They helped me import my V35 and were very, very helpful once they get going.

As an alternative, check out the guys at SSV... another great bunch of guys who know their stuff.

I had the same reservations about J-spec when I was looking to choose an importer. I stuck with them and can honestly say that they've been fantastic from the get go (3 weeks into the process now). Craig is very patient and answers all of my questions, even when I was asking nearly daily whether the car had been shipped yet!

      Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.

      Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By PranK · Posted

      The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage.

      Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)

      R33 gtst gearbox top barb

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
