What are J-Spec like?

[R34]

Tried a search but got nothing but V-spec results

So can anyone tell me what j-Spec are like to deal with?

If things go pear shaped for reasons outside their control do they assist or leave you with it?

Thanks

Can't answer your question Chris, but would it be fair to assume you are looking to get another Skyline?

My only dealings with them are 2x 15min phone conversations and they were nothing but fantastic.

Some say not really Micko as I want a V35

yeah I got my car through them, very helpful, also my mates dad bought a 4wd through them.

Id recommend them.

Define "pear-shaped"? I had a mechanical inspection done before purchase, and j-spec organised that for a small fee, cuts down the risk abit.

My car was dented in transport tho, but that was the shipping company KIWI's responsibility, and ive claimed through them, and no matter who you buy with its going to be shipped via KIWI anyways.

.

Pear shaped means that sometime there are unforseen problems and I've read on here that people have been left to fend for themselves.

I've never heard that about J-Spec of course.

I've imported twice before and never had a problem through someone else but a V35 means a bigger investment to risk which is the reason I'm asking.

Chris, I have used Craig at J Spec twice and both times have been all good.

Transport wise it will come through NYK as Kiwi don't do west coast plus I paid the extra and got it insured through Midas for shipping theft etc.

Like all these brokers, they have there good and bad days but I think his reputation is reasonably sound.

Cheers

I can only speak good things of J-Spec. Got the car, a coola, suspo, and wheels thru them. Just remeber that importing takes time...

About $450 to get the car insured for $18K.

They also need comprehensive photos taken, preferably at the holding yard or wharf.

Craig organised those photos for me.

Was not required fortunately as the car arrived exactly as it left Japan including all the gauges etc but I thought that $450 was good piece of mind.

Excess is $500 as well but considering there was over $2k worth of gauges/power FC/shift knobs/harnesses/seats etc just ripe for the taking, it was still worth it.

Depends when you buy the car and where you love.

Boat to Perth sails around the 26th of each month and car must be at the wharf by about 22nd.

Takes 2 weeks to travel here and about 4 days to unload/quarantine/clear.

Boat spaces are at a premium and may sit in Japan for 1 or 2 mths awaiting a spot.

Mate depending on what docks your at, you may be wih KIWI car carriers, as mine is. KIWI gives you insurance for piece of mind....they log the condition, aftermarket parts etc. when the car arrives at the docks, and if it isnt in the same condition when it arrives in Aus you can claim for any damages or theft etc. Just for piece of mind though, always always get insurance...
