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

[Beer Baron]

I got the news from a dealer with a couple of cars waiting to clear... As I said, they were advised by customs/AQIS that clearance/quarantine may take up to two weeks.

Edit: to be clear, these cars were on the Kiwi Prince No. 1, offloaded at Brisbane.

sorry mate, my post wasnt directed at you. I was just letting people know that through my eyes there didn't seem to be too much of a delay as earlier in this thread a lot of people had speculated that "word is there is delays at Brisbane".

oh, I should have mentioned, my car was delivered by Kiwi on Prince no1 too, also to Brisbane.

Richard: yeah, no worries. Just passing on what I have been told Seems like the luck of the draw at the moment.

Thanks mate, that would be great. As far as I know it was cleared on Friday, but it wont hurt for you to check. Now I'm just waiting to find out if it's on a truck yet.

PM'd you with chassis number.

Cheers,

Richard

oops, just realised I don't have the number with me at work. I'll let you know later this arvoif I still need you to check for me. thanks again.

Just letting you guys know, my car is on the kiwi boat that left japan on the 22nd. I purchased the car just before Christmas. So it took less then a month from purchase to getting on the boat.

No I don't know which port it was, but I think it was whatever the last port the Kiwi ship left from.

It's an 89 4 door gtst.

Lands in aus on 4th february. So I should have it mid-late February

[sav1]

My customs agent rang me this morning, car was cleared and ready to be picked up. It was on Prince No. 1. Just gotta get it trucked down here now. The transport company said they would pick it up thurs, cause wednesday is a public holiday

[Beer Baron]

No, not really

LW.

hahaha. I see you lurking in the waiting for a car thread!

It should be "waiting for a car or a set of TE37s"...

with any luck you'll have them soon. Then you can sell me your stock 32 wheels :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

[lwells]

We'll see. I am still entirely unconvinced that I will ever see them. Hopefully know by next week.

Fingers crossed....

LW.

[OBaYBe]

They are probably on Anton's ride

[lwells]

Hush you! :uzi: You aren't even bringing in a Skyline, so get off our forum. At least my car is in Australia

More likely there will be some wharfie driving around in a Bombadore with grey 18" TE37s with wrong offset

my advice is simple:

"when thou wantest something in a hurry, don't email. use thy telephone and ring."

do it.

do it.

Hailey (in Bris) has been flat out the last few days, clearly, and it's even hard to get her on the phone.
