You'll find any and every car in Japan.

Importers wont list much on their site, simply because on a daily basis, Japan auctions and sells hundreds of thousands of cars.

The way that part works is you tell an importer what you want, and they go and find as many of that as they can, and then you choose.

Price of the vehicle is the only major variable, shit like import costs, compliance, rego etc is around the same, dunno about AutoWorx, but Imports101 have a calculator on their site for that kind of thing.

Also look into ImportMonster, which now translates Yahoo Auctions from Japan into English, and now has an importing service.

Cheers for that will check that out now (importmonster) yeah seen the converter on imports101 it breaks everything down

Will check the link out now too

Depending on what you're after, you're probably better off buying locally.

Even something thats actually hard to find, like my Cefiro for example, can be found with enough patience.

Dont rush it and buy the wrong car, and definately dont be one of those idiots who imports a bog stock Skyline and claims they have an "imported JDM drift spec" model, first owner, etc.

Imports101 has been around for a long time and very good value.

[GODZ1LLA]

Yeah dont want stock lol i want somat that has had the money spent on it already and then i may just change a few things ie spoiler or rims etc....

Was looking at one on carsales is it anyones off here??

Dont think it's anybody on here.

Dont buy that one. If you want all show/bling and dont care about performance, buy a stockie and work it up. No racism intended, but Ive seen alot of sales of Imports from Middle Eastern (ie, "Saaid" as per the link you gave) sellers go sour pretty quick. Forums like this one would be more reliable for buying locally.

That CarSales one might be a legit find though, dunno. I wouldnt pay $17000 for a seemingly stock R33 which apparently produces 350 RW Kws

[GODZ1LLA]

Ahhh so you reckon its dodgy??

Yeah would rather buy off a forum user tbh and not some one who has just signed up to sell his/her car either....

But i would like to buy one with all the fruit too.....

I think once i have the cash in my hand/bank i will put up a wanted ad and see were that goes.....

[Nic_A31]

I dont think its dodgey, but it doesnt show good signs. You can check it out, but its very unlikely to match its claims.

If your a n00b and dont know what 350rwkw feels like, dont bother.

If you want something with all the fruit you're definately better off here than CarSales, and aim for a GTR, or, atleast something thats not just a plain stock R33.

Why not buy a stockie and do mods yourself? Its a good way to claim "built, not bought", you learn alot about your car in the process, and to start with, even a stock R3x Skyline is a vast difference to a WRX, so you'd want to start with factory power and gradually grow it as you learn the car a bit more? You'll love your car more after doing that, opposed to buying somebody else's art and not understanding it. Just my two cents.

Plenty of help on this forum whichever choice you make.

[GODZ1LLA]

Yeah true i suppose

I had a stage 1 tuned falcon xr6 turbo before the wrx and that was pushing out 300kw though but they are heavy....

Also had a few twin turbo cars ie a r33 gtr, supra rz, a 3000gto, to name but a few..

Yeah i get what ya saying buy it virtually stock and add my own bits but tbh for me thats the costly way of doing it i would rather just improve slightly on somthing thats already been modded....

[Nic_A31]

Well if you've owned those cars you should be right without our help shouldnt ya?

Wouldnt be expensive man, unless you're paying labor for all the mods, but that defeats the purpose of doing the mods anyway. Alot of these "highly modded" prices include a labor value. My mate bought a Cressida for $4000 with the 1JZ in it already, he got it running and wanted $14'000 for it, actually offered me a mates rate of $11'000...

Lol yeah i am from the uk recently moved to australia...

I dont know of any import/dealer places except for the ones i have mentioned (autoworx and imports101)

Yeah the skyline i had in the uk i only had for 1 week!! the others 3 or 4 months tops its differant there people dont hang onto cars that long unlike over here keeping the same car for years....!!

Nic sending ya a pm on car i have just found....
