If You're Happy With Your Import Car, Who Brought It In?


Recommended Posts

A couple years overdue but he did get me my Caldina. Nice and painless. Quick and easy. All we had to do was journal the money to whoever it needed to go to and pick the car up.

Currently have an 8MR just beginning its journey here. Only because the person above^ would not sell me his.... :P

SPECIAL VEHICLE IMPORTS ~ BRISBANE, gets my vote. :thanks:

When I decided to chase an import I called SVI. Mick (the principle) from SVI in Brisbane found, inspected, purchased, imported, complied & assisted in temporary registration of my Stagea in Queensland back in 2006. Organised over the phone from WA. Never met the gentleman before I picked up the car ( Mick was recommended to me by my son) & I haven't seen or heard from Mick/SVI since, apart from the initial "do not hesitate to contact if there is a problem" kind of thing. Not that I ever needed to, the car was perfect, there were no surprises, either in final cost or vehicle quality Mick gave me absolutely everything I had asked for at the price quoted. I drove the car out of his workshop & headed for WA. Car never missed a beat on that journey (3500km~ 3.5 days) & has not since. I had the alternator replaced about 3 years ago. That's it. Couldn't have been happier with the service & thanks to the forum for giving me the opportunity to do it now.

I do not know if Mick or SVI are still trading.

My 2c

Cheers GW

anyone dealt with import monster before?

A mate is getting his Majesta through Aaron and is very happy with his work

I've bought heaps of parts through him before and I would expect his organisation and help that I have had through him be the same as importing a car

I went through J-Spec and had nothing but good dealings with Ben

Having taken delivery of my R32-GTR on Friday, I can happily recommend the services of the Iron Chef

Entree (finding the car) , Mains (getting the car) and Dessert (compliancing the car) were excellent.

Cheers

Actually saw your car at the compliance shop, and looks good man!

Mastercars blacktown gets my vote. Purchased my r34 gtt last year from them with no hiccups. I've recommended them to three others who purchased from them. All of us are happy. Sam and heshan are nice, honest and genuine blokes

MasterCars gets my vote too. Bought my 32 GT-R off of them in January and it runs like a dream. Sam and Heshan are very accommodating.

I've used Kristian/Iron Chef in the past to import my Legnum, stand up bloke and does a good, honest job.

In saying that don't just buy a car from him, wait until he has one of his "Free reacharound with every purchase." offers going, THEN you'll get your monies worth ;)

Im at Step 3 of the importing process with Iron Chef, Troy has been great to deal with never hassled me found a Excellent Condition GTR under budget with low km's in the colour of my prefrence

This topic accualty pointed me in the direction of ICI these guys are easily the benchmark for Import Brokers cant fault them nothing but high praise so far.

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
