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)

haha got to be stupid to buy from springwood/underwood yards.. all of them are greedy cocks..

buy private.

organise a weekend to come down and look at all of them at one time..

or u can buy the R34 GTT 54,oookms silver. est 185kw+ for 20k with R33 rims of 22k with the 18" Volk TE37

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:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
