Reliable Import Yards In Brisbane/gold Coast/sunny Coast


Recommended Posts

Morning All,

Just wondering if anyone has used AJM Imports on Compton Road before? I get a dodgy vibe from them so has anyone bought a car there? Good service? Good condition car etc?

Is there anyone else in the Brisbane/Gold Coast/Sunny Coast area that is worth going to? or is there anywhere that you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole?

Thanks

I think AJM is dodgey as, I went there looked at a couple of cars before I bought my 32.

When I was there I asked if I could take this car for a test drive, the guy said no, the battery is flat.. but then I said, okay can you start it up for me, and he was glad to do it so that was bullshit. The service wasnt very good, took him about 20 minutes to come outside the little office.

The place I got my 32 from is really really good. It is in Helensvale and he only imports good quality cars, like no dodgy shit and all in imaculate condition. It is on Millaroo Dr past westfield. His name is Tony and his number is 0416 226 631. Take exit 62 going south on M1 and Millaroo Dr s 2nd on the left. He fixed a few things on my car with no hesitation. paid for new coils etc.

ciao

:blush:

for imports see either Mark at import auto centre for above average cars or for the best quality imports and service you cant go past motorman imports Paul's a champ.. prices might be high but you pay for what you get !.. bought 6 cars off them id go again :) ... so much so they bought my 35 in from japland i didnt even test drive it i bought it straight away ..

Got my 260RS from Mick Martin, SVI. I would deal with SVI again no question. Patience pays.

Cheers & good hunting.

Yer the gunmetal one is real nice. Couldn't agree more about motorman. I'm always there annoying them there but he doesn't have any GTRs at the moment :O Any bad rumours about Autoshop in Moorooka? The guys there seem fairly helpful and the cars are decent.

Edit: Thanks for the tip on IAC they have 2 GTRs there :O I'll go have a look tomorrow

Go see Paul and the guys at Motormans dude great service and know what they are doing. i tried ajm before i bought mine from motormans and they dont know shit. cars are shit condition guy has not got a clue what he is talking about half the time.

I went to see the AJM cars today and they were shite condition and the guy talked some shite. Unbelievable lol. Went to see Motorman but they didnt have any 32 GTRs for sale :) IAC was an alright yard, Mark was good and new what he was talking about. Had a nice GTR there but couldn't give me a decent price for the change over. Made the last stop at Autoshop in Moorooka and the GTR they had was really nice. Going back on Monday to take it for a drive n stuff :) Thanks for all the replies really helpful :worship:

If you want a decent GTR, then import one to your specs through SVI. Mick Martin has been doing this since the beginning of Grey Imports and his business is very good.

I bought my 34 GTT from Import Auto Centre almost 2 years ago. Big thumbs up for Mark.

However, i was not impressed with the salesman i initially dealt with. He tried to tell me that this one 34 Sedan GT was turbo that they had in their yard, even though i knew it clearly wasn't. I asked him where the turbo was and he pointed to the air intake :S They did however have a GTT that had just arrived in Aust, and then he told me an unrealistic timeline for my 34 GTT to get compliance completed, as i had put the deposit on mine before it hit the sales floor. I rang Mark and spoke to him and he provided me with a loan car for the extra week that i was left waiting for my 34 and was very apologetic and helpful.

I couldn't be happier with the condition that my 34 is in...

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
