Importing From The U.k


Recommended Posts

For the price you pay for a R34 GTR you can get a maserati. :down:

No you can't lol...

Are u sure about that my mate just got a Black with red leather 34,000miles Maserati 3200GT on the road for around $48,000 threw a complience centre in melbourne. He paid 12k pounds for the car from manchester and took him about 4months to have the car landed and on the road. You will see it around chatswood got silver and black plates indian guy driving it.

He paid $50k for a temperamental car that is a UK import with high Milage???? Your friend got ripped off big time... I'd pay that money for an Aussie delivered one, not a grey import one...

GT-R32: Lol if ur thinking of importing a ferrari from the uk go for a 4 seater e.g 456 or 550M cause they tend to lose value over their quicker.

Last thing you should do is buy a UK import 4 seater, for starters they are cheap as shit over here in Australia already (for ferrari prices i mean), 2nd is they don't sell because they are not sought after, and last of all by looking at your other posts you have put up on the subject, I wouldn't believe a single word you say, you have no idea what your on about...

Eghey is full of scam artists, be careful.

Cars in the UK can suffer from rust real bad due to salt on the roads.

I refuse all tis gibberish. I will import a F355 and it WILL be cheaper than getting one here. :blush:

http://www.usedcartrader.co.uk/vehicles/ov...355--1489201515

F355's are starting @ 10 000GBP in the UK ( too bad their mr2 replicas but look good replicas lol), but 30 000 pounds will get you a decent F355, they range to a top of about 60 000 pounds. Depends on condition ect... but whats the going price here? $130-$220k, the prices in Australia are a joke.

PS: a private import of any car will be harder to sell unless the price is attractive.

A new f430 costs here from $600-$800k depending on extras + onroad costs....

Same car bought brand new in the UK is 180 000 british pounds which = $300k Australian. Our 2nd hand 2005 model f430's don't sell for under $300k here.

I was going to buy a 360 here in OZ ($200k price tag here, or a $80-$90k Aud equivalent over there), but i'm moving to Austria/Germany at the end of 2011, thought i'd wait and actually save the money to buy property in Europe and use the car over there where they can actually be used properly without getting damaged by stupid potholes on sydney roads, not get speeding fines (planning to move to Innsbruck which is only 25 minutes from munichs autobahns).

Also the price of parts are cheap as chips there, MAserati sydney quoted me $8500 for a new throttle body, I bought a genuwine throttle body from the UK, that sourced it from Italy for $2000 including the cost of air freight. I still find it dessapointing by GM and Holden when you can buy a brand new CV8 Monaro cheaper in Europe than you can here in Australia and the cars are made here. This is why so many people and companies have made money importing cars, but importing cheap r32's and r33's arnt where the profits are, the profit is in the high end market

    • Unless there's something particular about the Greddy manifold's injector holes that I'm not aware of, those injetcors look to be totally wrong. They would absolutely want to be spaced up to get those long snouts out of the runner. Which, I think, is not usually the way that that problem is solved. I think the problem is solved by using the correct injectors, which would be much more like what Andrew posted.
    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • EMJ33 or EJM33 - west end
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
