Yeah really good. I got a set of tien coil overs brought in and they were really good, kept me updated on their progress and once they landed they got to my door the next day. I would definitely use them again

I have trialed many different companies over the years the best being: www.japanparts.com, you just email them the part you're after and they will bid on it for you same as import monster but cheaper.

I would then probably use Jesse Streeter and importmonster would be my last resort, they just charge too much compared to the others. Their bidding system is easy to use but I just cant justify the price differences.

I do laugh a bit when people complain that they but a $20 item off Yahoo and complain that it costs $50 by the time it gets here. Sure shipping costs vary depending on size and value, but you still have to pay for someone's time to pack your item, put it in a container, unpack it and post it off to you, even if it's a 20c washer. I've happily used Import Monster, and will do so again when the need arises.

I'm particularly after opinions on there WHOLE car importing service. Not the parts service.

I too have used them for parts and the service was good. Of course you pay a premium! It's a business. They need to make money.

Anyway......opinions on the CAR IMPORTING service please people.

      Starting again

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      So my R32 GTST has been sitting around at my old mum and dad's place for a few years now...and it's time to bring it home. Main issue I have is that she hasn't been started in about 5 years or so, so I'm not too keen on just kicking it over and hoping that RB20 reputation for being un-killlable extends to long periods of neglect. My plan is to get it running there so I can move it around,  then get it towed back to my place where I can start working on it properly. The old folks driveway is a bad place to start a project like that. I'm getting old too and also haven't stuffed around with cars since forever, so kinda learning this stuff again. So far I've siphoned out all the shitty old fuel and topped up the coolant (thought it was fully dry but took 2 litres to fill the radiator). Planning on hitting the rusty rotors with some brake cleaner in case the tow truck driver gets a bit gung ho loading it up. As far as oil, it's got plenty although it's now dark in colour and obviously needs a change sooner rather than later. Was doing some YouTube research and was planning to hand-crank the motor from the harmonic balancer with a 37mm socket and breaker bar, removing the spark plugs and spraying some "fogging oil" in the holes but there's not much room to get in there with the radiator fan right up against it. Jacking the car up takes too long and I can't leave it half done between visits. So now I'm was thinking of cranking a few times it using the starter (removing plugs and spraying oil first). Reckon there's any chance it will do more damage that way if something's stuck inside the motor? Should I really change all fluids completely before I go any further? Grateful for any other advice you guys have to get her going safely too.

      Well, that's just wierd. Amongst a string of seemingly benign introduction and request for help threads, we have this one with a link.... to another, unrelated thread inside this forum. Colour me suspicious.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Duncan · Posted

      So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.
