Hello

I have 2 vehicles in a container on their way from New Zealand to Brisbane.

I have already spoken to Richard from Special Vehicle Imports but have since realised that most of the comments about them on here are very old.

Has anyone used them recently, or are they any other recommended options in Brisbane/QLD

Thanks

I used J-Spec, Stupidly happy with the outcome, particularly as I had never imported. Learned everything I needed. Ben even knew when to recommend a car OFF my preferred list and I got a diamond!

Plus 1 to Iron Chef

Bought in my dr... Immaculate body, under budget an super quick and easy to deal with!

Absolutely no pressure to rush is what I liked, they didn't let me buy the bad examples and encouraged me to wait

My KV36 Skyline 370GT sedan was imported and complianced by Luxury and Performance Vehicles in Bayswater VIC.

Once they had a deposit off me and they knew I was serious and able to help them identify suitable cars from the auction sites, we got on very well. They were even able to suggest newer vehicle with higher kms and grade and this is what we bought. Ability to trade in my M35 Stagea was the icing on the cake.

Stagea was imported and complianced by Northshore Prestige and the car was excellent. Only changed it because it was coming up 13 years old, I don't need the space anymore (wife has Volvo XC90) and I wanted something more modern.

Hi

Ended up having my cars both complied by Motorguard here in Brisbane after getting a recommendation from Kristian.

John from Motorguard was really efficient and sorted the safety certs/road worthy as well as the towing from the customs warehouse.

So that may be a vote for Iron Chef I think.

I also think Motorguard does not actually do much importing, mainly the complience

So the importing was done by Iron Chef then?

(Yes, JLM in Sydney, like Motorguard, doesn't do much importing these days)

    • After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:

    • I love it aye. The ability to switch to RWD on the fly can be handy for certain situations.... I can adjust the dial to reduce oversteer out of the corners. I've noticed I can be on the power earlier out of corners and it feels like its on rails compared to the factory system. The factory system would be a bit slow out of the corners and give oversteer. And if you don't like that it is super easy to adjust the front wheel bias.  I would definitely recommend the unit for someone who is looking to have a tunable 4WD, It can be set much more aggressive than factory. And being able to turn off 4WD with a switch has some benefits.
    • Damn this looks so good. I wanna catch the punks who touched the car. That made me angry.
