Hi all out there in SAU !!

am new to here so please bear with me , am wondering if anyone can assist me here .I am going to go start sussing out places around to see what skyline models I might suit ..and to look more into what am hoping to buy in next 12 mths all things going to plan .I realise most likely a question asked numerous times just hoping for some steering assistance as to decent import yards to check out in Sydney and who to avoid ...I have heard of one to avoid like black plague has initials E.L ( know who that is just not stating out in open obviously for legal reasons but if someone in the know could inbox me some that have a good rep to go look at that would be awesome .

Cheers in advance folks ,

Reputable Import Yards In Sydney?

ikq9xzo5hFxee.gif

I've imported my last 2 cars personally using import brokers, even then you have to do your research & know what you're potentially getting into.

Buying from a yard might be more time convenient but if the seller can't provide a genuine auction inspection sheet & de-registration cert from japan then be very wary.

cheers guys ...wasn't thinking of buying from .. just taking a good stickybeak and seeing what Id prefer in person ... so can do my homework a bit that way .. so was asking here basically to find out which yards would have decent stock to view and poke around ?

If all you want to do is look it doesn't really matter about their reputation does it?

This^^^

If you want to drive the different cars then go to any car lot on Parramatta road. When you want to buy one don't buy on Parramatta road. Simples...

Contact iron chef when you want to buy one.

If you just want to have a bit of a look then it doesn't matter where you go. Check them out anyway see what you like to sit in and what you like to drive. Please do no buy from Parramatta Rd, but I think you know this already.

Seriously, check out the SAU for sale section. There are some great cars on this forum owned by enthusiasts, regularly serviced, good mods etc. If you can't find anything you like then maybe look at importing?

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
