hey everyone, i did a search and couldn't find a topic in here that specifically recommended importers (link me if i did a dud search)

what importers would you recommend? (its in you're best interests to keep it clean as its against the rules to sledge companies on here.. .. .)

- what car did you buy

- when did you import

- what company did you buy it from

- testimonials?

- customer service (eg friendlyness, helpfulness, description of the car etc) ?

- time frame (how long it took)?

- satisfaction?

- umm, anything else? just stuff like that :)

;):P

Get onto Mark Hocking. I can PM you a mobile number if you want.

Autech 260RS

Importing currently (arrives 15th march)

www.mytrading.org is Mark Hockings company

Was recommended by a few others (go to 'importing a vehicle)

I spoke to mark initially about a month ago. Time frame will depend on what car you want him to find, mine was a fluke. BUT as far as time frames they can CONTROL go, it was on the first boat, no delays with paperwork or communication.

Very satisfied so far. Right car at right price, just waiting to see the vehicle! (auction grade 4) so it should be pretty good.

1997 Stagea Dayz RSfourV

~4 months ago

J-Spec

Professional, sometimes (mainly pre-purchase) slow with email responses

Took about 12 weeks from purchase to my door.... took abit longer cos compliance workshop was waiting forr DOTARS to send back paperwork for ~3 weeks.

J-Spec sent me about 200 detailed photo's.... car was as described, and I was very happy with it. Only needed tierod ends for blue slip, which was great considering it was the cheapest Stagea on the site at the time.

All correspondence was by email... never spoke to anyone but the shipping company in person (KIWI by the way, and I was more than happy with them), which was a bit worrying at the time, but it all worked out well.

Exactly the same as above, but for JZX100 Toyota Chaser

Also, have just bought a Mitsubishi Legnum through them 3 weeks ago, which is yet to board a boat (booked for 10 march), and have had no further email delays. I would not have purchased a second car (before I even received the first!) if I weren't very impressed with their service.

I have a friend who used www.directimported.com many times, and is more than impressed with them, also.

Does this thread only relate to stageas?

- what car did you buy 1998 R33 40th Anniversary

- when did you import Mid 2007

- what company did you buy it from Elite Auto Imports - local Adelaide guy for those wanting to import and is from Adelaide - He has a section on http://www.rpmlounge.com.au/forums/

- testimonials? highly recommended it was my first time importing wasnt 100% sure at times but importing through him has definitely built my confidence in importing cars and I will definitely import again via David @ Elite Auto Imports

- customer service (eg friendlyness, helpfulness, description of the car etc) ? friendly, very helpful getting my car from the docks to my house then to the compliance workshop - car arrived better than what was described on the auction sheet!

- time frame (how long it took)? about 3 months? it landed Friday picked up Monday - super quick was nice, was my favourite part of the whole importing process having the car landed finally and can take it home, I've heard of people having to wait for ages while their car was at the docks... I got mine the following business day!

- satisfaction? 10/10

- umm, anything else? just stuff like that I love this car :down:

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
