I've read a few posts here regarding GT Auto Imports in Croydon, Victoria.

So far all responses have seemed to be positive. Topic's I've read are a little old though, so anyone who has recently dealt with them ie. last 6 months, please feel free to reply to this and let me and others know what you thought.

I went in there today and spoke to a gentleman by the name of Peter. I didn't think I was going to be there for that long though! I went in to ask him about importing an R34 GT-T for me and we were there for nearly 2 hours talking. Seems like a very genuine bloke. Unfortunately today looks can be deceiving, so I would like to know of other people's experiences, and maybe an importer that you might be able to recommend?

I've spoken to Craig at J-Spec , excellent service and very fast response. From what I hear they offer fantastic service, only thing with me is though, I would much rather prefer to do dealings like this in person as opposed to email and phones. This is why I would opt an importer who has a workshop/office.

He was very helpful and by the looks of things extremely knowledgable in the importation process ,telling me step by step what goes on, and how to go about it.

My budget is 20k MAXIMUM 21. He seems to think he can get me a very nice example and quite possibly have some change left over, so I'm happy about that.

All replies will be appreciated. :(

Thanks guys,

Evan

Hi I imported my Series 2 Stagea about 6 months ago through Craig@J-Spec and upon thier recommendation used GT Auto for compliance.

I mainly dealt with Wayne @GT and he was always very helpful...from applying for the import approval to compliance and then even registering the car on road....they looked after everything.

They also arranged for my timing belt/water pump replacement before I picked up the car.

Having racing experience with Skylines, GT Auto sure know them pretty well.

For me, both J-Spec and GT Auto were great....hope this helps.

Well, before checking this post, I checked my email and someone has told me that the business GT Auto has apparently changed hands now. So I'm a little confused, as when I called GT Wayne answered but when I got there a guy called Peter was there.

God this can be frustrating. Thanks for the response.

Evan.

Evan,

Sorry for the confusion. I have sold my RAW (GT AUTO Compliance) to Peter as of last week. I have been working closely with Peter for quite a few years now, and I was very happy to sell the company to a person that I know very well and highly trust.

I am still working with Peter and GT AUTO Compliance on a daily basis, and will be involved with the day to day running of the Company for some time.

Regarding the purchase of your car, for years now GT AUTO has had a great working relationship with J-Spec Imports. They source/purchase the cars for the customers, and we look after compliance.

We (Peter and I) recommend that you source your car via J-Spec and then use us for compliance.

Feel free to give me a call (0419 003125) if you have any further questions. I know you have already spoken to Peter.

Regards,

Wayne Sterling

GT AUTO Compliance Pty Ltd

I got my R33 through J-spec imports 6 months ago, Craig and Ben are fantastic and easy to deal with and Wayne at GT Auto complied my car, he is a very nice guy, always willing to answer my questions and i think he complied my car within 2 weeks and did a good job of it :down: so I'd recommend u to give them a try

Hi Wayne!!!

Big ups for GT Auto, sad that Wayne is getting out of it. Thanks for all your help with my R34 :D

Also, I can't say enough about Ben at J-spec, he's put up with my constant emailing for a few months. Great guy :)

My father and I used J-Spec to import a R34 GTR about a year and a bit a ago. Craig and Ben were excellent to deal with and it was money well spent. Wayne at GT Auto did the compliancing and we were only too happy with the result. So yeah I would recommend both J-Spec and GT Auto

Both these companies are top notch and they worked for there love of cars not the loe of money.

If either craig or wayne called me in adelaide and needed a bed for the night i would be happy to have them over

great blokes looked after me very well

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
