R33 GTS-T wanted ! help help ..


Recommended Posts

I'm going through J & H Import cars (based in Romsey, near Sunbury).

My 93 model R33 GTST sedan should be on the boat within days, so I can't tell you how good a service he provides until I take delivery of the car, but so far he's been very good to deal with & doesn't appear to be too full of sales-crap.

A firend of my brother got a Silvia through him & said he was excellent - quality car & no bullsh*t.

John Whiteman is the guy who runs them.

Email him on jwhiteman@hotkey.net.au

But, as above, beware of the potential for problems finding a compliance plate.

Mine is being complied in Brisbane, even though I'm in Melbourne, 'coz that was the only place he could get a plate.

Good luck & let me know how it goes (I'm an jouranlist writing about importing cars).

My email is nuts@freemail.com.au

I deal with XXXXXbefore and once he has that last $500 fee. He left my car at the quarantine for over a week and it took him almost 9 weeks.

I started this business after I dealt with him and imported cars like soarers,180sx's and skylines and it took within 8weeks. No hassle no delay no nothing and my customers love their cars too. Cos i told them not to buy damaged cars and go for grade 4.

I can get skyline plates in Vic ( abit dear $3500) and also a friend of the engineer.

SO STAY AWAY FROM XXXXXX

No need to pick on certain people.....Everybody is "the import specialist" What has this country come to when people dog each other out for $1000???The market here has become such a sh1t fight ...i mean id rather go to the casino and throw all my money on the table than tie it up in such a "business" venture.Lets see how many"Import specialist's" are around after R.A.W.S sets in.

Good luck gtst88 in finding a car,you have chosen a fantastic model

You started up a business because of XXXXXpoor service? Coz it took almost nine weeks? :whackit: Hang on a sec while I get my violin out... hmmm doesnt "within 8 weeks" sound a bit like "almost 9"????? :usuck:

I got my car throughXXXXXand was on the road within 9 weeks (sorry almost 10) after winning it at auction, which included the "Golden Week" holiday in Japan (ie the whole country does nothing for a week). When the car arrived it was in pristine condition, absolutely flawless. Since then I've got spare parts, and had them fitted, through J-Spec (which took less than 3 days) and I've also got wheels and a coola on the way as we speak. Nothing but outstanding service the whole way :uh-huh:.

If your gonna import a car its gonna take time. I'd always allow 10 weeks, that way impatient people wont lose it if it doesnt arrive to the second. If you dont wanna wait go and get one from a dealer or buy one privately!

I have heard good and bad things of XXXXXX (no need to edit mine :D). I think with importing, there are so many delays that are possible that you cant really blame the importer (unless they are obviously doing shit wrong).

Just think of our friend Bxxxx whos car has taken months and months. No explanation why, but the same importer has done cars in 8 weeks as stated by others.

If you use an importer, i think your best bet is to go with someone you trust to get you a good car... dont worry about time limits as there are always unexpected delays with shipping, customs, compliance, import approval etc.

if your really worried about time, go for a private sale. the price difference is very small from what I have seen lately. Dont forget with importing, you usually need a service, + new rego etc where in private sales they have often had good aus servicing and come with rego etc.

If your in Melbourne which it looks as if you are I recommend UPI that where I got my car from and so did a few of my mates … was easy enough and were all happy!!!

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
