Only one ship to Freo per month as madmurf said.

I imported my gts-t in april this year through geoff, missed the ship by a couple of days so the car ended up coming in early to mid june.

Expect around 3 weeks realistically for the car to get here once it leaves Japan

Z.

I had to help get ten cars on the boat out of Kyushu, we complained and it worked, last month we get a Supra on Tuesday and it was loaded on Saturdays boat.

Pressure is the name of the game, your broker needs to earn his money and doing something which is better than nothing that is how we get it done.

One dealer in Nagoyoa got 20 cars on with 2 weeks notice.

Just keep on them.

yeah got my approval for import about 15th of august and bin trying to get the car over here ever since my head is going to explode....

cant do much else than wait and hope...

Who is the agent in Japan that is doing the booking to get you car on the boat and which city do they work out of.

all i know is that the supplier is MARK SCHUMANN

That's the guy that supplied my car (89 GTR). It went on the boat in mid-September and arrived in Melbourne early October. Can't understand why you are having such problems.

My car has turned out to be a bargain so I've got no complaints.

Hope your luck improves.

http://www.centrelineaus.com/company/company.htm mark schumanns website with mobile number which i rang earlier today to be told they are extremely busy and he would let geoff know where our car was,concerning shipping, geoff was going to email me this afternoon with the info and i,m still waiting 10.05 wst

These are all shit stories - Whatever happened to the importing through a broker being all very easy? you're all paying them to do thier job, yet having chasing them up!

I'd be holding back part of thier service fee if this sh*t continues if I were you lot!

I agree, $1100.00 "BuTT Tax" and having to wait up to three months for a vessel,

The shippers and suppliers are alocated XXX berths per Month, if these are over subscribed the remaining vehicles go into a pool, or on "stand-by" with larger exporters being caught short!!!!. A distinct dis-advantage if you are using a BUTT TAX merchant!!!! That part of "We take the hassel out of importing" must be in SMALL print!!

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
