Need Advice On This R34 Gtr

I went through J-Spec mate. Ben is excellent, he did a great job.

Also, you're likely checking the retail exchange rate. You can probably ignore that, find the spot rate and deduct around 1 yen and that's the exchange rate you'll get. Ben will tell you how it's done if/when you buy a car

The spot rate I'm seeing now is around 88, so you'll likely get 87. It's not too bad, I got around 95 when I imported a few months back.

lucky you! that wouldve been the ideal time to import, or dec last year was even better. it was like 100jpy+ to aud.

i tried calling Ben a few weeks ago but no answer. So hard to get in touch with the dude.

How long did the shipping take from jap to oz? (or wherever your'e from)...

We purchased the car on the 15th of May and it landed at the port (Sydney/Wollongong) on the 19th of June. Keep in mind this was fairly fast.

Then it spent a week in customs because my import approval was a bit late (because the car shipped so fast). Compliance took the longest, it spent around 7 weeks in the workshop awaiting the import plate. That's the department of transports fault though, not much you can do. While it was at the shop though I was able to visit it as much as I wanted, and even got to drive it a few times and install a couple of parts so it wasn't so bad.

If you're in Sydney get Ben to send the car to Top Secret in Blacktown for compliance.
