Hi Everyone,

Im looking at importing a r32 GTR (struggling to find what I want available privately).

Currently I have 3 importers Im considering going through and was just wanting peoples opinion or info if they have dealt with them.

1. Top Secret - Pretty much heard great info about them, but they are out in Blacktown and im near Menai (not that it is a real issue)

2. Xtreme Motorsports (along Parra Rd) - Spoke to one of the guys there on Sunday and got a pretty good vibe.

3. Just Jap - Spoke to the guys at Pulse Racing, who worked on my gtst, they recommended them (10min from home) for their imports.

Top Secret I keep reading good reviews, Xtreme Motorsports I could find a little bit about them, and Just Jap I could not find any opinions when it came to their imports.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Top secret are top blokes, and they treat ya good.. they pick up only the best cars and they are serious about what they do.... they wont sell u something thats below perfect... Honestly..

Been there many times and they are great... Id Definitely take the drive dude.

one of my mates said that Nagoya Motors (along Princes Highway) is pretty good too!!! they specialise in Skylines and are happy to import for you... not too pricey either!!! Xtreme Motorsports are pretty good too... they usually have pretty sweet cars in there.... the owner, Joe, LOVES his GTRs too!!!!!!

Iron chef imports +10

Got us our 'family' car and we're in QLD.

He can be a bit slow with emails but it happens when you have 10million dipsh*ts a day wanting to buy but don't have the cash in hand.

Get your money ready and suit up for the ride!

All of the above can do a good job exporting your car to Oz.

1 Top Secret are very good in their communications through Jack and Garry. They run track days for their clients + they have a backup service dept.

2 Xtreme will attempt for sure that your car gets a trouble free ride through Joe

3 Just Jap may not turn over as many cars as above, since Steve imports lots of half cuts for spares, but there's no complaint from Kim who got a R34 GTR N1 through them. And Paul at Pulse Racing will only make that recommendation with you in mind. Afterwards, JJ will also give you a good discount on spares.

4 Nagoya through Alex will certainly look after your needs with good communication.

5 Iron Chef has good efficient spotters in Japan who'll only give a tick on a good car. The freight contact is cheaper than some others but does take great care. And Kristian ensures that your car gets smooth compliancing here in Sydney through Todd at JapLink Haberfield. There's a backup service dept there too with RB specialist Kazu. My last two GTRs have come this way.

steer clear of 'brad bottchers used cars' in Maryborough Brisbane. Had a god -aweful experiance with buying my first GTR off him. Save yourself the hassle and go elsewhere.

Whoa!!!

Long way from Sydney too!!!

LOL

^^ Haha I noticed that

Thanks everyone, you have all helped a little by telling me they are all good + iron chef... Although didnt really narrow my selection.

Now its time to bite the bullet and make some calls I think

I've taken on a kitchen hand to handle all those kinds of emails now lol - and yes, 70-80 emails a day (not including a similar number of spam emails...). And of course, when you do the right thing and answer emails, THEY ASK MORE QUESTIONS!! Haha

I bought my car through Just Jap, great to deal with and will always remember you and ask how the car is going

Like Terry said Paul at Pulse Racing (also my tuner) will only recommend someone he would use and can do the job

Great, thanks guys.

Just Jap seemed good when I was there, the guy I spoke to pretty sure was Steve, definitely a huge fan of his GTRs ... except he was suggesting I consider an evo as a daily as oppose to a GTR (Although I still want a GTR).

Justin. Yeah itd be good to know how it all goes for you.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
