I bought my V35 direct from an importer called Auto Japan in Maddington in WA.

The owner Fauzer was open and honest, and was only happy to help. He provided me with the import papers and Jap de-reg papers on request.

got mine off the showroom of nagoya motors caringbah, very good condition,

although the gloss and shine did deceive some very small cosmetic inconsistencies (can't call it damage since it's minor)

maybe in several years i can afford to go back and trade my 09 v36 for a later 13/14 v36

Don't want to go too off-topic but just a quick one.. Looking at grabbing a car from a dealer in Japan in the very near future.. So is the process basically the same as the auction process through an agent ?

Just tell them who you want to buy from and which car then de-reg, put it on a boat and ship it over? (Simplified of course ahah)

Power Road Car Sales, Dandenong.

Sorted out everything to drive away including registering the car for you.

Also can recommend Carzon.com.au they installed alarm and GPS tracking system for peace of mind security.

Good , Clean , Stock Vehicle's.

Thanks for the mention, I'm sure you'll love the car when it arrives. :) If anyone is interested to see some example auction inspections undertaken in Japan to understand the efforts we go to at auction to ensure we source only the best cars, you can check them out here: http://prestigemotorsport.com.au/inspection-examples/

Wanted to put in a good word for Iron Chef Imports. Been looking to import with the help of Troy since December last year. Had no luck finding a suitable car in my price range (bloody US market exploding). Regardless, he made the searching experience enjoyable and I plan on using them when I buy my next car.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
