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!!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
