Anyone Know This Car Yard ?

[GTRR]

If anyone is planning on importing i recommend J-Spec. No stuffing around and always keeps you updated on the procedures (very important to me)via email.

If there is any problems he would call up and keep you informed. I am dealing with Ben now and all i can say is what exceptional service he has.

^^ Yeah J-Spec or Iron Chef would be the only ones I would use.

Before i bought the skyline i have now i had a look up there, was on holidays so thought id look around, bloke there was showin me a few cars and had no idea about them, couldnt even tell me prices, was lookin at a r33 gtr that they had, told me runs beautifully, drives magnifacantly and so on. Went to take it for a test drive and it wouldnt start, got it started so started driving it and the front end was wobbly as f#$k, front kit nearly came off while driving it. then got back to the car yard. before we started it i had checked the oil and water, no oil on dip stick (i pointed that out and then they filled it back up- god knows how long it had been out of oil!) and the water was reallllly low, couldnt see it at all in the radiator (so of course i pointed that out and they filled that up too). after all that i asked him bout prices and he worked one out at $28990, i didnt say a word and jus left. my advice, they dont check theyre cars well enough, they dont know about the cars theyre selling, u point out the problems and they think jus filling it up to where it should be is no problems, and all thproblems the car has has no effect on price, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM, THEY ARE DODGY!!! I experianced this first hand so i hope this helps your decision

I was referring to "hot" cars, myself.

2x importers' agents in Japan atm are using toothbrush size geiger counters to cursorily go over cars that have possibly come over from the E coast.

If any got detected as "hot" after arriving in Oz, it would have to be buried.

Oh right... hot as in radioactive. My bad, lol.

must say, i have owned 3 cars in my life time, and all of them nissan, first from a private seller, went well no real issues but as it was the N13 with the holden block, it died after a few years, next was from a dealer, spent more then what it was worth, but great little car, still running today, third car, private, again good car, my only advice, shop around, don't put any money down until you have shopped around, taken the car for a spin (either you or the owner taking you [i know some people selling don't want people to drive there car until they hand over cash]), have a look all round, check everything on the car, spend a good hour if you must, but trust me, it is worth taking time to have a proper look at the car before you say yes

What's the go with the radioactive cars, is there a health threat? Sorry for the old tread, just looking up various importers. Needless to say, I won't be dealing with Phil when I am ready to buy. Probably go a private car that has been here for a while so I don't get cancer, haha.

Radioactive cars will just save you money in dash and interior bulbs as they light themselves up

Everything is being checked at the ports before it is allowed on the ship, and the smart buyers are using portable geiger counters to check the cars. But in speaking to a friend who buys a lot over there, they have never had anything even come close to registering a dangerous reading....

The weird part is they brought in the checks for radioactivity about 4 months AFTER the reactor dramas - it wasn't the Japanese govt feeling like they had a responsibility to the countries they export cars to, it was as a result of the unions of the dock workers in Japan kicking up a stink about them possibly copping regular exposure to nuclear fallout.

I've heard stories from Japan about cars being knocked back (and the level they've set for what's no good is ridiculously low), but none of mine have been, touch wood.
