Getting A Freshly Imported To The Pits

[dodes47]

Hi Guys!

I'm about to purchase a privately imported V35 at a good deal sometime next week. Vehicle has been complied and the only thing left is to register it.

I've never been to the pits before so I'm a little nervous . I saw this thread which has some useful info :

http://www.skylinesa...st-help-needed/ but would appreciate any more advice i can get.

The car is pretty much standard except for the exhaust and suspension. It's got a Fujitsubo and s-tune when it was complied and passed.

I plan on taking it to Welshpool cause i heard good things about the centre.

Here's a link to the carsales ad :

Appreciate any suggestions or advice. Thanks in advance.

I wouldnt be too nervous but make sure you get ALL the paperwork (import approval/complience etc) before picking up the car other than that keep it clean etc etc etc.

Thanks for that! Any ideas how much it's going to cost for all of it? From the pits to a 12 months rego?

cheers

from memory its like $70 for the pits, but i have never been over so cant say. Also i do remember everyone recomending ringing up and booking/paying for a spot before you get there to make it quicker. Rego is around 400-450 for my cars on private so id expect somewhere around there.

^Pretty much spot on.

Some pits are book, others are first come first serve.

One other thing. This car, when it was complied, actually came with a 17" stock rims and tyres. The seller had two of the same model cars. He then sold the other car with the original tyres that came with the car i'm getting. So i'm left with the 18" deep dish rims.

I hope they don't make a fuss about it cause i don't know where i can find the original set of tyres and rims. Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback.
