Looking for advice...

[pavel]

Hey,

I am new here and interested in buying GTR33. Have couple of questions:

1) Where should i look?

2) Should i import or buy in AUS? (Which is cheaper?)

Any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S. was looking at http://www.j-garage.com/sale/usedcars/stoc...ock/110571.html

1) Well that really depends if you are buying it locally/privately.

2) Depends how patient you are.. always cheaper importing one on your own

j-garage is in japan/america, look at some local dealers. prices for america are usually a bit pricey.

I'd reccomend www.j-spec.com.au if you're patient enuff to get it. I've got an GTS from them and am in the process of getting an R32 GTR from them. Saving me quite a bundle.

If u want to buy from a dealer in vic, id head to Gran Turismo in the city... I was looking there when i was going to get a supra TT and all thier stock was really impressive...

Thanx for the info guys,

I dont think i can get enough cash for GTR(as its my first car), looking at R33 GTS-t (they look nice, and not as expensive as GTR's).

How long does it usually take for a car to arrive from JAP?

some say 2-3 weeks, some say months... ?

[skyline33]

it takes about 2-3 weeks to come from japan + another 2-3weeks till the car is on the road if everything goes smoothly

What else is there?( i dont know much about importing...)

[skyline33]

thats it, after you get the car from japan you comply it (which takes 1-2 weeks depending on who is doing the compliance and how busy they are)

then after the work is done it has to be signed by an engineer the it takes about 1-2 weeks to get the compliance plate. then you register it.

but it'll probably take longer under the new scheme.

I agree with Smoothline.

Gran Turismo were great to deal with - and you get a 5 year warranty. Talk to Bill.

Don't be in a hurry if you're importing.

I began the importing process for my R33 GTSt sedan just after Xmas & the car finally arrived at my place last week.

It's in good conmdition & there weren't any big nasty surprises, but be prepared for a lot of stuffing around if you're importing it yourself.

Also allow extra $$$ because mine has ended up costing $2,000 more than the import broker told me to expect.

Good luck.

PS: The car's great & will be fully rego'd & legal on Thursday.

WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!
