1. Pay for inspection by a well known workshop in the seller's city.

2. If the inspection results are good, fly over to see it/make the transaction in person.

3. Drive your new car to the Syd/Melb depot.

4. Pick it up from Perth depot in about 2-3 weeks.

5. Profit?! pirate.gif

After recently buying a car from interstate and getting it transported here, personally I see no need for a broker. Will just cost you more money and you will need to place your trust in them.

I ended up flying to Adelaide to look at two cars, couldn't take any time off work so did it all on a weekend. Was fairly straight forward.

Otherwise just find a good person or mechanic to inspect the car and take lots of photos for you and go from there.

For transport, I ended up getting my car from a dealer so they took it to the depot for me.

But otherwise you can get the car transport company to pick up the car from the sellers location. And then you either get it from the depot here or get it dropped at your house.

I used Toll autotrans, which apart from some impolite staff here in Perth, worked out perfectly. Car wasn't even dirty and took about a week to arrive from SA.

Anyway, good luck whichever way you go.

      R32 GTR Bonnet Hinge Bolts

      By SteveL · Posted

      From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.

      ER34 RB25DE Auto - Would a flush ever fix an "A/T" light?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.

      R34 RB20DE NEO coilpack?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.

      Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
