Hi all, anyone who used SVI or J-spec here have any feedback? As I am based in Brisbane, where SVI is I'm more keen to go with them but J-Spec seems to be a very popular option. Just wanna hear some feedback from people who've used SVI before. PM me if you need to.

Cheers

+1 for J-spec.... Just got my Stagea a few days ago, and so far I'm absolutely stoked with it.... Cheapest S1 I've seen, and very clean throughout.... Also have to say that I'm very happy with Seaway/KIWI.

i work for j-spec :) they rock. think we've imported 99% of the stagea's on this forum.

I fall under this percentage - my silver baby is currently in transit and Mr Moor's assistance has been outstanding. :D

Viva La J-Spec! :)

Ben and Craig at J-Spec really look out for you. I've imported 3 cars now, 2 with J-Spec and I have been thru the process with other companies and haven't found them as "YOU" focussed as J-Spec. I am fussy about ANY surface rust anywhere on the car and Ben simply checked every car that looked good and even if it was a specced up brilliant car, if it had any r-u-s-t he would steer me away from it, even though he could have let me buy and got me outa his hair many times. You'll be happy with what you end up with, with J-Spec... Another well known company was happily dishing up 15 or so Legnums I could buy every day (when I thought that was what I wanted). Ben knew what I wanted, clued me in on Legnums (95% will have some minor rust, somewhere in/on the car - just a well know reality - but said he would hunt for one if I really wanted one!) and faithfully searched for what I wanted in a Stagea (RWD, mods, fruit, km's, etc) and it took 8 weeks to find something we were both happy with. Because of him I will own a more dependable, reliable, modification-friendly, value-packed and, importantly, 'hold it's value' kind of vehicle. If my wife doesn't enjoy the firm ride or the recaros or something, I can make a small profit, move on and get another vehicle from Japan. I'm the type of guy who is very particular about being dealt with kindly and professionally. Couldn't fault J-spec... Even when there's been little on offer in the auctions for a particular day, and I send them a query about 3 or 4 cars, they respond with ALL the relevant details - with a smile!

It's all about service... and the car!

Can't recommend J-Spec enough.

Both Craig and Ben were very helpful in the 6 months they searched high and low for a factory Black Series 2 Stagea with leather, high grade, factory body kit, log books etc to my specifications.

Why it took 6 months?- because these are very rare in black with leather, log books etc in Japan.

They did offer to refund all costs if they didn't find anything suitable within 8 weeks of searching but I was so impressed with their service, persistance and resilence that I knew one would come up sooner or later... and it did.

J-Spec rocks and I wouldn't hesitate in using them again- they know the import business inside/out!

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
