You can just shoot a pm to Chris Rogers directly. If you are doing your compliance in QLD then he's the man who can do the conversion stuff for you. The main thread is here, although its' quite a long read:

I can't really give you the exact price as it is really a POA, depends what you need. Do you have factory Bose Audio with factory TV that you want to keep? If not then just chuck the japanese unit out and put in a local aftermarket unit. There's just so many things that you want to be done. From just a simple FM band expander to convert the japanese radio to be able to receive our FM frequency range, to a navigation solution and a tv tuner, a reverse camera, ipod solutions etc. I only did FM expander, navi and tv, that's all.

If yours is a premium with factory TV that you want to keep, it could cost over $3-$4k if you really want everything done complete!

Geoff's good he'll take you step by step, but make sure you read his emails carefully and take actions on the things that you need to action, e.g. contacting the compliance workshop in advance and the customs brokers, as well as making payments timely. If you didn't do it then the whole import process would be delayed and/or failed.

Yep, have the Bose factory audio and TV. Thanks for the info and the link, very helpful.

Hi all,

Here's mine, just arrived in Freo. R34 GTR, Grade 5A. Pictures are taken after auction in Japan. Been looking for years and never seen a 5A before, stoked! New to the Skyline scene but looking forward to seeing what this beast can do!

now that's a nice one... good on you..

now just pray that it doesn't pick up more scratches/dents during shipping and transport... it can be a rough journey, you know...

[rs73]

who is your importer / supplier by the way, how come you all got pics from japan while I was told mine was sent straight to secure storage and therefore no pics were able to be taken?

Agree re the bumps and scrapes potential. One of the risks of importing. I researched most things before taking the plunge and deduced that paying the extra for freight insurance was not worth it. Your word against theirs, and you are too small to win. I imported it through Autoworx in Perth. I am yet to see it in the flesh, but have enough information to know that it is not far off the mark. Have shots of the underside that pretty much blow your mind, given the age of the vehicle. Got pics before and after the auction. Their Agent arranged for FOB hence access post auction appears to have not presented any problem.

Bakes, imported it through Autoworx (was about the sixth one going to auction that I looked at). Will send PM if you want further details, just let me know.

[Bakes]

Phil, did Autoworx find your car for you or did you find it?

If you found it, what is the web site you found it on? (ie:jap auction site name)

Thanks
