Damn that FD is dead sexy. What a timeless shape.

SK: does that apply to just the RB25/RB25NEOs, or would you say the same for RB26s (running stock turbos)? LW.

Bler. Get use to it. No matter how fast your car is (within reason) there is always someone that has a faster car. Life goes on. LW.

Geoff booked my car on a ship prior to approval, but apparently there are delays in Japan at the moment LW.

Anyone else who has got approval in the last few weeks waiting for a shipping date? Kinda sucks too now finally have approval but no sign of the car getting on a ship yet LW.

The best option for hooking up a iPod to the car stereo if you don't own an Alpine is.... http://www.densionusa.com/x/index.php?opti...d=375&Itemid=79 LW.

sewid: try and stay positive. It will all be over (and worth it) soon. I dunno... having waited 4+ months so far since purchase, I guess I am just use to it now LW.

You can always tell when its school holidays... The Mercs that were linked were a special run (I think only three from memory) for promo shots. The Jag was just for the release of the new XJ and is not and was not sold without paint. It would be illegal to chrome a bonnet because it would create a hazard for both you and other motorists. LW.

Some of the guys (razorsharp, for instance) that have done their own customs stuff can comment, but AFAIK there is nothing to stop you (except time and running around) doing your own customs paperwork and organisation. LW.

:confused: J-spec don't do custom's brokering AFAIK. CGL is Prestige's recommended customs agent in Sydney. LW.

Maybe one of the moderators who has dave's number could give him a call? LW.

You are best off checking what forms of payment your customs agent accepts. Cash or credit car will be fastest.. LW.

Edwardo: Wow, lucky bastard. You have a 4-door Autech GT-R and the wife gets a manual Stagea? Want to adopt a son LW.

Ok, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I don't like the R33 4-door, even if it is an Autech GT-R. I dunno, I think it accentuates the worst aspects of the R33 design and looks very plain: I also dislike the sedan light cluster. The R34 four door I think is a vast improvement, and that Jun R32 that Funky posted is quite cool. Not trying to rain on other peoples parade -- and it would seem I am in the minority anyway -- but it just doesn't do it for me. LW.

Mine arrived too! :grouphug: LW.

No. Mail is not delivered over the weekend (although it is transported apparently). LW.

Make a clear photocopy. Get her to sign the photocopy and include all her details.

If the first is a Monday, put it in the post on the Friday. As others have said, read very carefully what you need to send in and make sure you fill out every part of the form. Screw it up and you will get large delays.

predator/SteveL: let us know if you actually recieve anything... LW.

Re: pay and pickup -- I understand that, I was more interested in the lead time people experienced in getting customs clearance and AQIS stuff done. I don't want anything to go missing from my car, hence I want to find a way for the wheels to be put aside somewhere rather than just left hanging around in the boot. Any strategies people can suggest? LW.

See, its the devil's work! Seriously, very good robust debate guys. Keep it up.. some of us are learning a lot LW.

Yes, I am aware of how its meant to work, I am more interested in people's actual experiences though -- we all know nothing in this business seems to play 'by-the-book', hence the question. LW.

I think the date/time on the classified is out too. LW.

BBENNY: Check your PM mate. LW.
