Well as of one week ago my 1996 R33 GT-R is on it's way to Australia thanks to Iron Chef Imports, they really impressed me with their service and would gladly recommend them! :)

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

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.

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
