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.

i got my R33 of Craig and his bro from J-spec back in..... 2001. Top guy, no bullshit approach which is wat i like, plus he got the roady, and helped with the rego for me too!!

He even screamed at Vicroads for me cause they were being a55holes!!!

heard he moved from Box Hill now so i cant harass him with my legal problems anymore!!!

  • 1 month later...

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!!!!

I would go through J-Spec my hubby and i have just recently imported/purchased 2 stageas from japan and at the moment craig has been absolutely great!! has helped us out with some issues and has been really helpful although he is busy!

Funkymonkey is a great help on here too....!!

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

Awesome, now that is a hell nice car!!

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).

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
