I have imported 3 cars now for myself and 2 for family members. I did it all threw the brokers at www.boostimports.com I would more the gladly recomend them to anyone. They are only a small group but will source whatever you are chasing and make an effortto make it easier for you as they did for me. They also also know alot people in the trade over here for mods and so forth afterwards so that is always helpful aswell, just thought I would chuck their name up if anyone was interested.

Looks like I've found the exact car I want, but problem is it's available through J-Spec, Imports 101 and Prestige Motorsport!

Pricing is pretty much the same through all 3, but at least J-Spec are in Melb so at least I can go have a chat with them about it.

Prestige don't sound too bad either, however I notice that sections of their website has information that predates the SEVS/RAWS changes and has not been updated, to me that isn't a good sign.....

I have only heard good things about J-Spec so far, but have heard negatives about Imports 101 and Prestige - however as with any business you're never going to have 100% of customers happy so it is hard to tell how genuine some of the negatives are.

Out of all them J-spec. they wont take you for a ride, Plus also they are major sponsors of this website, which means they have a HELL OF A LOT to loose if something is screwd up in your dealings, as you will come here first.. heheh

But ask j spec who is the supplier in Japan and get back to me.

Thanks guys, look most likely like J-Spec with Imports 101 second - they've (Imports 101) been very quick to reply and also offer a full guarantee and refund if the vehicle is not as described etc.

Re2, I have asked which supplier this is through, and I will let you know!

Thanks all!!!!

Yet to recieve word back from J-spec or AllBlitz. I'm starting to get a little worried when businesses don't return emails and it's the first car I've looked at importing. :mage:

Yeah JSpec (craig) dont start until today (tuesday)...i understand that you worry when you havent heard anything back from business, maybe resend them an email or even contact/pm funkymonkey on here and get him to get craig to contact you!! otherwise phone them!!!

I have never had a real issue with them not responding, and the one issue when did have craig sorted quick smart and provided us with plenty of information because he is eastern states and we are perth!!

Hoping that my car arrives soon :mage:

Dude, I cant recall getting any messages from you at all. I usually respond to my messages within 24-48 hrs the latest. PM me with your questions/requests.

I'm currently sourcing a 34 through J-Spec (car has been purchased, just waiting on a boat) and can't say that I've had any concerns whatsoever.

I chose J-Spec over Prestige (who I would also recommend) simply because they're in Melbourne and I've met the guys, and the cars they're brought in, before.

Just be prepared to wait a couple of months (no matter who you choose) - gone are the good old days of getting a car imported and on road in a matter of weeks.

Yeah that's cool, I don't mind waiting some time for a car of my dreams :P

I've decided to go with a Black 2002 Mazda RX-7 Spirit-R Type B. Getting finance and insurance sorted first but I've begun the search for the car now in time for it to land in my hands for christmas lol

If youre in Perth, give Jshop a call 9358 4969 and speak to Raheem. He's a broker as well but goes to Japan like once a month/2months to source for cars/parts coz he says he can do compression test...etc and he has all these USS ID cards.

The only problem is that he sells a lot to Dealers only and only sometimes brings cars to sell to the public.

Just to add some additional info. Shop around (my advise).

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
