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

Coxy

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...

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
