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.

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

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
