Any idea what is a normal time frame from auction to delivery?

It rests so much on luck, I am sure people can tell you how long they waited, anywhere from 8 weeks to 5 - 6 months if things go slightly wrong...

Really depends on a lot of unrelated variables falling into place and a lot of different people doing their jobs along the way... From when you buy, when paper work is organised in Japan, when the next ship sales (and your car can actually get on that ship, see previous point), how lucky you are getting through customs, how busy the compliance shop is... Most of it is out of your hands so it's all luck and using the right people along the way as far as timing goes.

Example: I purchased my Stagea on the 26th of Jan this year and it is still sitting on the docks in JP, it should be on a boat on the 18th of March, whoohoo! that's only 2 weeks away!!!

I AM SHE finished working on my car today. so just have to wait until the compliance plate gets back from canberra and its ready to go.

...although i still have to wait to get my front bar fixed (apparently it has six cracks in it) which is costing me $550 plus getting it painted on top of that :(

...some pics of the front bar

Bugger. Can this sort of thing be covered by insurance?

If it was on a Kiwi Car Carriers ship then it "should" be covered. If it wasn't like that when they loaded it and it was damaged either loading or unloading then it "should" be covered under their policy, I was having a read through their site yesterday after the damage was mentioned. There is an Excess attached which is not quoted so that could be more than the cost of the repair, worth looking into of course.

from what ive heard, you cant have anything in the car when it is getting transported...is this true?

Yeah nothing in the car at all, for safety and insurance reasons I think.

That is generally when shipping form Japan

You just can not trust the doggy shipping companies

You should be fine in Aus, just make sure it is listed on the transport documents as contents in vehicle

Just check with TOLL or TNT

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
