I used Prestige Motorsport for my Series II and would use them again for sure. Geoff is happy to answer questions and I had a lot of them and everything happened as he said he would.

Contact Geoff and have a chat (email is best).

Good Luck

Errr, I know its my own opinion.............. but I went through JSpec over all other importers including the one aformentioned here..... Extremely happy with their service and have not looked back

But yeah, I went through the same predicament when I was looking for a broker too....... and i believe this topic has been covered before. NEvertheless, I can only speak from personal experience, and I was glad that I went with those guys.

Good luck!

when i look at the stock list for prestige their eiter got riped seats, accident cars, dints, scratches ?

whats the go their ?

how did you guys get good cars ?

I asked prestige about an r32 gtr, he added me to the list, i was then receiving an email everyday with about 20 gtr's for sale... What you see on the site isnt all of them..

What you see on the site is pretty much whats left over and not picked up by those on the "buyers" mailing list... basically, he finds cars, emails interested buyers (you pay $1100 for this), if none of those buyers buy it, it goes to the list.

yeh, the reason i'm thinkin seriously bout goin through Phil ( direct imported ) is because i know phil n his family . Phil comes from my town n my dad knows is parents rather well so yeh not sure but i hear lots of good things from prestige i'll hav to think bout it ..

If you want hassle free importing, use UPI Imports

Dean runs that.

www.upimports.com.au

I imported my old R32 GTR , anytime of the day/night he was always happy to answer any questions, even after owning the car for 6months, i prompted him for assistance once night i busted something, and he was happy to help.

He's a very easy guy to deal with, and he knows how to pick a mad car!!!

You'll find alot of other importers who just want their $1000 fee and they don't care if you import a dodgy sh!tbox,

Dean recommends only decent cars and has fantastic contacts in Japan, you'll definately know the quality of the car is exactly what dean tells you!

Haven't found 1 thing bad to say about him.

Give him a call, he'll answer any of your questions, 0411 691 744

I will be importing next car through him in a few months time.

Above is my opinion, though im sure many others will agree!

Ok well I have to be very easy on what I can say here as I have a conflict of interest.

Under the new system a RAW can only bring in and comply ar car. Make sure who ever you get you'r car imported from IS A RAW.

I work for SVi. Special Vehicle Imports in QLD. We would be happy to help any Members from this forum.

My name is Zac so if you want to call just ask for me tell me you are from this forum and I will be glad to help a member.

If you want to call me anytime at work our number is 3865 8999.

Well, anyone (including brokers like Prestige) can arrange and import the car for you, no matter who you import thru you will have to go to a complier like SVI or similar to get the car on the road.

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
