Im coming down the coast in a few weeks (im in mackay) to buy a new car (import) and i dont have a very wide knowledge of the caryards down there. I'll be travelling all around the Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast areas, so would you's be able to list the import yards in those areas that you know of?

Btw- Ill be buying a nissan.

Cheers

Theres a rather nice one on Old cleveland road at coorparoo. They always seem to have something a little different and at least try to present their stock in a tidy manner. The guys seemed friendly enough too.

Theres another on the western end of the magic mile that looks like it takes a little pride in what it does too.

AutoForce was the name of the one at Eight Mile Plains - just down the road from Garden City shopping centre. Like I said its been a while but the head guy there always put well presented cars on the lot and most of them already had the kit/wheels/paint done so you didn't have to worry about it... pay for it tho...

If thats the one that was just before Miles Platting road on the left I dont think they are there any more.

I got mine from a place called Brisbane Unique Cars. They have a website. The guys there are rather nice and will move on price on the cars. Just get your own Roadworthy done rather then theirs just to be safe. I got a feeling the roadworthy done on my car wasn't too great so I got somebody else to check it out and Brisbane Unique Cars were more then happy to fix the problems found.

What are you looking for???

Modified, stock, R32/33/34, GTS/GTST/GTR

Price range???

Honestlly, Your best off having a look at whats for sale here on SAU...

You will buy 3-5k cheaper than a yard, and most of us know the cars/owners already...

(So you can get a second or third opinion)

AJM motorsports on Compton Rd, near underwood or Kingston i think. They have good cars, but can be dodgey ive heard. One good thing about buying fom a dealer is that you get a warranty with your purchase. You can always negotiate the price.

If u ever get up to Marybrough, Brad Bottcher used cars up there is really good, got awesome quality cars and prices cheaper than most car yards in the Brisbane area. I got mine from there :D

I see that yard regularly on my way to hervery bay. He does present his stock in a clean and proffessional manner. :blink:

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
