Importing Help

[Adz2332]

Hey guys,

Been awhile since ive been on here. Seems forever since i owned the Purple R33 GTR.... But the bug of a GTR is biting again, mayb!

Im looking this time for a R34 GTR. But on carsales etc there doesnt seem to be to many coming up etc.

So with the Aussie dollar strong and what not, i was thinking of mayb importing one.

Who here has imported a car to adelaide?

Whos a decent REPUTABLE company to talk to and get some rough quotes on price?

Does anyone know roughly what a 34 GTR is worth landed and complied here?

Anything i should watch out for or any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Adam

just bought one for a friend,

dont expect them to be any cheaper over there than they are here.

they are still holding their value quite well... that is unless you want a clapped out one

Just out of interest - how much are you hoping you would get one for landed and complied? I thought about importing too, but the cars I liked on the auction sites I saw weren't exactly cheap, with most (grade 4 and above with lowish km's) working out around $55k landed and complied. As above give Christian a call - I'm sure he'd give you a good idea about cost etc....

J-Spec

Currently getting my R34 GTR through them and this is my second car via J-Spec

being very good to deal with and very patient

I got my GTR just 2 weeks ago "still in transit" after bidding and loosing at auctions for a while as i need V-Spec for Non V-Spec money

Got a Black V-Spec around 61,000Km, non accident, Rust for 45K landed and complied, which i though was nice.

They give you plenty of photos and report as well

few nice goodies on it as well

There are Few Nice Silver R34 GTR in Australia and some White ones, but no other colors unless you want to pay a lot of money

by the way Aussie $ against the Yen has not changed much

[slippylotion]

Give vince a call at import compliance systems on 0400 945 645.

He can find the car at the auctions, bid and deliver and comply it for you.

Oh and really good bloke to deal with.

I used the ironing chef when I got my car 3-4yrs ago and he was awesome. Heard now he even gives free reach-a-rounds as a bonus.

If I do it again one day I'll use him again

[Adz2332]

Thanks guys....

Was hoping to snare one for around 40K in the next 6 to 12 months....

Another reason i thought about importing, as i am in no rush at all

[Iron Chef]

I've used Iron Chef to import a number of my cars - I always end up feeling violated at the end of it, and yet I keep coming back for more...

[Adz2332]

^^ thanks

Unsure what to do now lol.... keep the 180 for 12 more months and sell.... or get a series 2 skyline.... MISS skylines

Trade anyone??

If your looking at getting an R then i would personally keep the 180 till i get the R and then sell the 180 or convert it into a track/street car lol....

[CRoNic...]

I've used and abused Mr. Chef's services.

Very satisfied

Even got a free hoover thrown into the package.
