Hello,

Just moved to Australia (QLD) from Okinawa Japan and I was able to successfully import my 96' GT-R 33 under the personal import rules. Well, I say successfully, but it was damaged and vandalized at the wharf (My welcome to OZ moment). I have been going through the thrash of learning the differences with things here in Australia (fuel, oil, GTR parts, etc.) and hope that you guys can be a help to me, and I can offer whatever assistance I can.

I have owned this GTR for 5 years and the best thing about bringing it to OZ as a personal import is I didn't have to 'stock it out' before it left OKI for compliance. So it is built and tuned, although I would like to get it checked out by some reputable dudes who know the RB26.

If you guys have any bones to throw my way about shops, Brizzy to Ipswich area, a good place to find parts, it would be much appreciated! In the meantime, I have been getting everything sent to me from Japan, but it would be nice to cut the wait times down when I can.

Welcome to Queensland, very sad to hear your GTR was vandalised.

Depending on the parts you want will depend on where you go. Kudos Motorsport are good for local parts, amayama if you want genuine parts and can wait. Also aftermarket parts are often cheaper to buy in Japan and ship over than local shops.

Hope to see you at some events.

Gavin woods at Labrador is a Nissan specialist with lots of experience,

probably the most honest and genuine guy you'd want touching your RB26, he owns and drives a 33GTR that was used for Targa Tasmania, there's a lot of workshops in Brisbane that will rip you off big time, don't take the risk...

I never saw any comment, none of us have mod powers so it must have been one of the site mods.

I didn't see a comment? Our only mod is rarely here anyway so he wouldn't have removed it?
