We are actualy based in Melbourne but we buy cars for clients all over Australia, we would normally have the car complied in Sydney for you but we can arrange it down here if you prefer us to watch over the process for you ... the only thing you would have to take care of yourself would be the registration, although we can point you in the right general direction if necessary.

The prices of most 1989 models are fairly good at the moment but we do expect prices to rise a fair bit on most popular models before the end of the year - remember that we will be bidding against other countries with 15 year import laws also (like Canada)

The car that Shell posted above was for sale at Yahoo auctions for some time and was eventually sold for only 220,000 yen - that works out to be around AU$7,700 landed (plus compliance and rego), so maybe just under $10,000 on-road.

I should have also added that this was fairly cheap for the SIR model, you would normally be looking at around $8,000 to $10,000 landed (plus compliance and rego)

We have five more 1989 model SIR's and two nice SI's available for purchase right now if you are interested - prices range from $6,200 to more than $10,000 landed (plus compliance and rego)

For anyone else reading this post, compliance for most popular 15 year old cars will be around $800 to $1,500 depending on the actual car you buy, registration requirements in your state and how much of the work you want to do yourself.

Just have a look around on prestigemotorsport.com.au, though with them it looks like half are decent and half not so decent...

That's because the only cars that Prestige sends through to the public list and cars listed on Yahoo Japan... They are just teasers :D

LaL: I am using Geoff and have nothing but praise for him.

LW.

I'll put my 2c in,

I just imported an R32 GTR through Geoff, no bad hickups had the car in 6 mobnths as I had to wait for import in 2004, had the car early feb... was exteamly happy with the car.

****Edited by PranK - sorry, but no slagging of business'****

I have had dealings Geoff and have only good words about him, put your money with prestige...

I have my car and it is a great example.. there are a few on these boards that will varify its condition.. and to add to it, it was the cheepest on the site @ $14,700-

We were so impressed that my dad just bought and recieved a 92' V8 Soarer and it is also a beautiful example of a car..

Umm no offence but a deposit is just that .. its to cover him and his cost's for time etc looking for a car for you.. and hey it is a deposit you dont normally get deposits back.. How ever his rule is that you get 90% of it back.. so you loose about $100.. it seems fair enough to me..

No offense to Geoff but i cant trust him after all the stories ive heard.. but hes good.

Try Dairyboy.. hes the best. awsome prices and tells the truth allot!

Sounds to me like another person who has zero first hand experience making claims of untrustworthiness.

Stirlo_GTR,

have you recieved the GT-R ? Prestige tend do edit the auction sheets allot.. dairyboy is by far a great importer.. but doesnt give refunds if you have put a deposit then changed your mind :D

Id be very careful of the claims you are making.

If you would prefer to buy cars from your daiyboy friend then by all means, go for it. But do not come on this forum talking garbage about Prestige when its clear you dont know what you are talking about. You dont appear to have any first hand experience with buying vehicles from Geoff, and therefore no basis for criticism

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
