Got A New One Coming.

[Rucker34]

I dont know if you guys remember but i had some stupid ford driver wreck my gtt a couple of months back.

i was trying to decide wether i should be sensible and just get an old banger or a ute to get around in and pay off my loan,

or wether i should get another skyline.

well i could not help myself, i love my toys lol. i have got an auto 99 gtt coming from Japan through j-spec. it has the nismo kit which i am quite a fan of . i have always hated auto cars and swore i would never get one but i fell in love with it in the last one. i always drove with it in tiptronic but loved that i could just chuck it into auto when i was tired or hung over lol

well i loved it once i had it shift kitted by mv autos in south Australia, was bloody sluggish before that.

i was wondering who else had theirs shift kitted and if they regret not going for the manual?

Hey champ Nice car

I have a Manul r34 gtt and love it

it just brings more meaning to drive a sports car,

Even tho auto might be nice and cruiie

it all come downs to what u want to do with your car,

Hope you make the right choice Good luck!

i like the kit on that car, looks good. how much is it going to cost to get it over here?? and complianced?? are you better off buying a car over here with mods or getting one imported and installing them yourself??

[RICCA]

redlinefeva - Jspec should do all the above - which be inculde to their fee could be from 800 - 2gs

[Rucker34]

it was advertised for $17400 landed and complied. i dont know how acurate they are with those prices but i hope they are pretty close lol

[RedLineFeva]

i realise that every car is different but on average is it better to get a car imported or buy one here with mods?? do you get any guarantee that the car coming over is in good condition?? or the clock hasn't been wound back??

[Pattygtst]

Take to phils mechanical service for compliance but i am sure they will recommend it like they did to me hes is the cheapest and best.

[RICCA]

Well when i was working at the import shop,

When we brought cars over they go buy the cubic metre / size of the car as a square meter = some $$ / then landing fee and so on,

Its a risk you can take alot ppl have done it and were happy i recomend to get insurance with it just incase anything dose go wrong,

I imported my car from over east which had everything i needed and very cheap

[Rucker34]

my car is going to brisbane first and getting complied there before it comes here. sucks but because the car already had a buyer and then the sale fell through it had already been transported to the docks. and to get it on a ship to freo it would have cost me the inland transport of the car around japan. craig at j-spec thought it would be cheeper for the car to just go to brisbane first because compliance costs less over there anyway. i hope he is correct because i will be a bit upset if it ends up costing me much more especially seeing as this way the car has more peoples hands to go through

[RICCA]

Well if it gose to brissy you can get it railed over like i did which cost around 600 - 1000 depedning who you go through and takes abou 4 - 1 week to get here,

or you can get it trucked over just need to look around for prices i think i used transline

If you shipp it

- you be charge Duty , doc fee , transport fee, then if the car is dirty need to get fumagatted, then qunatine can be held up at the docs for ages,!!!!!

it sucks and scray at the same time cause once it leaves their docs you canrt do anything about it!!!!

ah ok fair enough i didnt think about putting it on a train from brisbane. i think that would most likely be the best way to go. i will have to tackle that one when i come to it. im still waiting to hear what ship my car is getting on from japan so i can get an idea of when i will have it. i hate waiting for things!! im really bad, the last skyline i had it within a couple of weeds of first seeing it, and my bike i had it within a week lol this is killing me!! i have not had a car now for about 3 months i think im going nuts lol

[RICCA]

hahaha yer waiting sucks dude!!!

Good luck with all the waiting if u get stuck with getting it over let me know ill see if i can help,

all the best.

[Rucker34]

If it is done correctly you should get it back on a boat free of charge going via Brisbane, I have know people to go VIA Brisbane to get them cleared then back on the boat and delivered to Fremantle as the direct boat to Fremantle was full.

Other option is if you have committed to a workshop people have had the car unloaded in Brisbane, Complied and then loaded onto the next boat for its trip to Fremantle included in the shipping cost.

I recently brought my CIMA from Brisbane (was QLD registered for 6 months) on the boat and was about $800 for the trip then collection from workshop, paperwork, delivery and so on was about $1,100.

I had no intention of sending my car via rail or road to WA as it costs more for quality transport and even then it is driven on and off trucks and around the yards, if on the boat it is driven on in QLD and driven off in WA, nice and simple.

Cars turn up all cleared and just need to be collected as released within a couple of days.
