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!!

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
