My 32 GTR is on this boat. I've left a car cover in it to give the wharfies something to take home.

[Tyler Durden]

my 32 is on that one too.

Looks just like yours (R in gunmetal) Jon

[jonn]

The Bravery Ace is in. Went past at 3.00pm ramp was down, shit load of wharfies walking up ramp but no cars off just yet. There is a good viewing point on the pedestrian bridge near Captain Munchies or behind office works. Might go down later on with a video camera and get a bit of footage.

Mines on there as well. Mwhaha the only R32 GTS-T on there as well. From what I can see made onto this shipment is a R32 GTS-T (mine), three R32 GTR's, A cefiro, An MR2 turbo, RS Legacy and a 300ZX. I think thats all of them.

Gotboost,

i dont think you are the only 32 gtst, i know of at least one other. sorry didnt mean to ruin the party. The list you have may just be cars that made it on the boat from the one supplier. I think i received a similar list from Mark Shumann. nonetheless all our rides are finally here!!

[Baz]

Ok. I got a list that was sent to me via email from my supplier that said 9 cars made it onto this ship. I'm guessing that, that was only from the cars purchased under him. I'm going down right now to have a look at the cars that are arriving.

[Baz]

Just been down to see the Bravo Ace car carrier. Much MUCH bigger than what I thought it was going to be. Went to those two places where jonn suggested. Still couldn't see anything, the only thing I saw was thousands of Hyndai's. Couldn't see any old used imports at all

[jonn]

The old imports are to the right near where the orange Pilot boats dock. I can send you a short wmv (1.4mb) of the cars I saw there this arvo. I think yours might be one of them. Saw shitloads of Spacegears being unloaded and also saw no thrashing of cars at all!

[Tyler Durden]

I spent about 20 minutes trying to find the best spot. turns out it is infront of the bus stop. why didnt i just go there first? Jonn I didnt see any grey gtrs, i was a but disapointed! I was happy to see no thrashing of the cars too! Thaat made me happy!

[jonn]

Tyler, can't say for sure as the sun was glaring of the water but look at the pic below. I think that might be them.

[re2]

I went down today, I have a GTS-T on it, couldn’t see it, saw one but it didn’t look like an r32, right color though.

Think I saw you car Got Boost, that is if its the car in your aviator (maybe not if your car is white. ehehe), I spend over 30 minutes with some 24x binoculars, at the bus port. Just slowly looking at every car.

At 24x zoom, its very hard to keep the cars in frame, plus all the light comming off the water

What Import Broker and compliance people is everyone using?

[Tyler Durden]

i went down too in my lunch hour. left the binoculars at home (f@#ken tool). saw a few gtr lookers but it was impossible to tell the colour with that glare. Ill be back tomorrow maybe , with the binoculars.

[Baz]

To anyone who has imported a car.. How long does it take to have a car cleared through customs?

[re2]

Got Boost, My import broker, (not Bill) said i should have it Wednesday at the latest.

He also said that due to the amount of new cars getting dropped off the ship in Fremantle, this time, (a ****en shit load), is the reason why it will take a little longer, than expected. Also mentioned that Quarantine now are taking 48hrs to book examinations for cars, once paper work has been lodge.

[Baz]

Went down on sunday with a good pair of binoculars. Saw a lot of cars easily as well as my own. Cars i saw were. A white cefiro, Gun metal grey GTR, white coupe R32 GTS-T, A red R33, 4 door grey R32 and my white 4 door R32 GTS-T. Saw a couple of other GTR's but can't remember the exact colours. Can't wait!

[re2]

New that was an r33. Damn cant see my red r32 that looks gtr ish from the front

[Tyler Durden]

i was looking for your r32 too Andrew. but i couldnt see it either. prolly hidden behind the vans somewhere!

[re2]

I won’t see my car till Thursday, now at the earliest. It was booked into an inspection with Quarantine on Monday at 2:30pm but the stevedore didn't have any cars ready. So now it is rebooked for Thursday 8.30am at the earliest. This shit just happens sometimes.

Anyone else had else had any early experiences with there customs broker/agent?

[Baz]

I haven't been in contact with them at all. Thought they were just going to ring me instead.... Well my experience is that I haven't heard anything back from them whatsoever. Am I supposed to contact them to help finish the process?
