Any One Else Ever Had Trouble With Import Hub/kamakazi?


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys

Just want to know if anyone else has had trouble with Import Hub?

I recently imported a nice AE86 trueno and was told they could get it engineered in about 2 weeks, so i droped it off on the 8th of may.

Now 2 months later i still havent got my car and am getting somewhat angry as i have been constantly told that it will be done by x day, to find out it isnt...

Am i alone in this or are they like that to everyone?

Yes, major problems which I won't go into detail here.

kamikaze sold me a r33 and took my money and pocketed it.

a year later the car doesnt belong to me because they never put in any forms to vic roads when they sold me it.. so im driving and insuring a car which is in their name

so 6 months of stuffing around with a guy from a company which took over when kamikaze went into recivership to prove i own the car i paid for..

also did many services for me with quotes within that first year and then when i showed up magically it would be 500$ more than quoted.

Installed new suspension without letting me know my tie rods were broken which they would of seen.

took my car their for some body work damage on drivers side of car - when i got the car back they had left a decent scratched on the front bar.

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
