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...

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
