My votes go to www.prestigemotorsport.com.au and www.j-spec.com.au

Both have been around for years, the 32 was imported with prestige and i haven't had any major problems with her since (near 3 yrs so far)!

I'm also looking at importing an R34 atm. Is autoworx cheaper when they import specifically for you compared to the available stock on their website?

Edited by SR32

but autoworx gives money back gaurentee if the cars not as described

if you do a search theres been quiet a few horror stories about cars that had accident damage and cant get compliance

then you left with a very expensive track car?

we are importing a 34gtr for a customer now and if your ok with reasonable km you can get a 99/00 with 80-90000km for as low as 45k landed and complied . you may even get a vspec for not much more

80000km may frighten some people but remember these cars are now almost 10 years old so thats reasonably average km and a great price to get into a 34 gtr and we are seeing beautiful grade 4 cars come up at that price even with those km so we are still talking excellent quality

all our cars are of coarse hand picked and inspected in japan and our guys know skylines inside and out

for the record we have never had a car we supplied that couldn't be complied or even come close , were just not in that game

and you will save significantly from importing over stock cars as the stock ones come with warranty and are lot prepared etc

It's always nice to drive a car before you buy it, but as long as the kays are genuine, the grade/accident history is accurate, and the import company can pretty much guarantee the safety of the car- then i guess you'd be okay.

I've been told, regardless of the importer, if you can get one of the stocker cars from here, you'll do well:

You will see a few of their cars referred to from the other importer's sites.

i see somebody's finally looking to get that GTR ey?? anyway i bought mine blind from the east..was a little scary when i think back about it..paid full amount upfront without even seeing or driving the car..but thankfully everything turned out fine :( ..anyway i think it would be best to pay the premium and go thru a proper company to have your car imported..saves you the worries and headaches if anything turns out wrong

autoworx FTW :(, they import good cars, have great service and look after you

i can honostly say they are the only workshop i have used that havnt stuffed me round yet, and i have used most known workshop around,

my car came from there and many parts also came from them all with great service :P

YEP... when i think back on it, wish i bought my 34 from Autoworx... Really good people down there, will definatly be gettin my parts through them from now on... URAS KIT FTW... when i can afford it that is!!

    • And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.
    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
