A friend of mine imported her 300zx through J-Spec. She was after a specific model (had to be 4-seater, twin-turbo, and specific colours) so was hard to find. He didn't pressure her into buying something she didn't want even though it was taking a long time to find something. I remember he also gave good opinions on what was worth considering or not.

All round I'd say it was a thumbs up. At least based on my once-off second hand experience...

With so many great R33 GTR already in the country, why pay for the extra hassle of getting one imported? Unless it is a really special one off type car.

because theres so many great Gtr's already with sooo little km's cause theres sooooo :closedeyes: much tampering with odometers. Not saying they are all like that but most sellers, private and dealer can provide little info about the importation of the car with original history from japan or at least the derego from japan with the last 2 roadworthy's done showing previous history's km's in japan. Call me fussy which i know I am when I am looking at spending my money on what i want, but when ya taking about some cars that have had 50,000km plus wound off em it makes me more confident with a history of the car from the japanese government documentation at least not just someones word of mouth. And at the moment i dont get me licence back till mid june so cant drive one till then anyway. figure doing this wont tease me to have one sitting in the garage till then :whistling: and wanting to drive it, and i'm guna get something with trustworthy history and generally save some coin. I will say there are some great buys out there i've been studying them for 3 plus months now,but this is how I wish to get mine. ;)

most get wind up before they go on auctions becuase they are going overseas and no one is going to check its history.. here its more risky and easier to get caught, and if u do ur in deep shit

a few years ago i was thinking of importing a s15, this guy that use to import a lot of cars (joe) offered me this yellow s15 with a little dent on the rear for a good price around 70xxx. I did alot of research and found that exact car with the exact same dent on another jap website with 120xxxkm.. i deleted his number and bought a r34 haha

So when you import the car can you know that the kms on it are 100% right? Dont they wind the clocks back in japan also?

yep they definetly wind the clocks back in japan too...but they have governement requirements that every 2 years they are to have a road worthy inspection same as here but all odometers of cars are recorded and kept on file for when they sell the last 2 roadworthy's are available to varify kms. so if you get one that has 60,000 say and last inspection it had 86,000 for example well it has obviously been tampered with and its yur call if you wana buy , so at least there is some way of telling and of course the auction grade of a vehicles condition as well to see it is good, bad or had accident history also.

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
