Waiting For A Car? - The State Of Importing Cars From Japan ATM

[RBN1]

yeah, apparantly that's where mine is.

Ben at J_Spec has recommended paying to get it moved to Osaka as it will have a better chance of getting on a boat. Still not guaranteed but at least better chances.

 

should cost about $350

yep same here altho i've decided to wait cause its been sitting there for so long something has to show up ship wise! either way will you be moving it to Osaka? For an extra $600 or so they said they can ship it in a container which will get here sooner.

[blacky]

fkn jesus, $8k for r32, bargain!

[eXc]

I'm hoping to land my 89 4dr gtst for under $10k complied. So far I am on track. Grade 4 cost me 375,000 so that aint too bad I guess ($4700)

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I have just spoken to ben, I've asked him to find out which port my car is/was at

If it made it onto the ship on the 20/12, then sweet and I'm happy

but if it hasn't made it on, then I'll be investing in a container, i want the car asap

Like I said, depending on where your car is it may have been loaded on 20th, 21st, 22nd or today or even tomorrow. So they may not know yet whether or not it has been loaded.

Don't stress mate.

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

yeah I know. its just I'm getting anxious I suppose, I think the clutch is on the way out in the shitebox I'm driving now, I didn't plan on buying it to have to last into 2005 (I bought my R in may and there was no indication of shipping problems at this point)

I would just rather pay to get the car here quicker then to fix this thing up

cheers

Steve: It will be all worth it once you've got that rb26dett singing full song at 7500rpm.

[sav1]

you beauty! Just got my B/L from geoff, my baby is on the prince no.1 and on its way!

[Beer Baron]

Yeah boys! I just got my B/L too. Car is on the way. Not bad, a december build car on the last boat in December! I hadn't expected to be shipping it until Jan when I bought the car earlier this year, but everything has run very smoothly. Only hic-up has been the change in Kiwi pricing/delivery policy.

Merry christmas all.

Richard

[pentae]

I want to get on a ship

[Spagman]

Mine is also on the ship but will I get this B/L sent to me, or will it go to the customs agent in Brisbane?

I assume everything gets done up there before getting trucked to the owners state?

Either way can't wait for late Jan, been hangin to drive my baby! :wassup:

[Tyler Durden]

Anyone from WA got a b/l for decmber shipping yet?

My surrended B/L was sent to both me and my customs agent. The customs agent is the one who needs it, i guess i got a copy just to confirm that the car had shipped

Cheers buddy, now I'll just kick back and wait!!!

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I have been told that my car was on the ship (the prince) they think. they are having problems contacting the agent in japan as he's and aussie an is on holidays.

Just waiting for the B/L now. should have it next week I'm told. this is a huge relief as I hsould have the car on the road by the end of jan and be able to do my drivers course in feb that I have paid for

mark

[z3n2k]

Yeah i have received my bill of lading now. It is such a relief to receive this when you have been waiting so long for a car.

Received mine on Boxing day.. My supplier must take holidays

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

my car has been in brisbane waiting to clear customs since the 14th December. I will know what's happening tomorrow hopefully when i contact the shipping agent.

Is anyone else having this problem? damn xmas period

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I hope they aren't charging you every day for the stay of the car merlin

mark

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

hehe, yeah that would suck.

i've been assured by the shipping agent that i wont have to pay any further charges, so as far as im concerned, im sweet.
