I can recommend the second & third businesses on that list.

I'll support the first on the list. My second import thru pms arrives tomorrow on K lines EIJIN.Fingers and everything else crossed. Getting a car imported is a bit of a lottery re damage and/or theft but most seem to arrive OK.

I used PhoenixImports Australia, http://www.phoeniximportsaustralia.com/, Az is very honest and straight forward to deal with.

I'm still awaiting my car to arrive in Australia, it leaves Japan on Saturday 31/3/2007, once its arrived I can give some more useful feedback on the car itself :P

Regards,

Gareth

Hey man I have bought 2 series 2 gts - t's from joel at aussie... Its now called excite autos.

He doesn't just pick the cars online or anything he has them inspected by family in japan before they even leave the docks

The site isn't that flash but check out his workshop at castle hill..

The stock list on the site isn't updated that regularly either so call him hes always got nice cars coming in.

Tell him steve with the black gts-t gave you his number on here...

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      Blue slip

      By The Bogan · Posted

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
