Thanks for all the replies guys :D I ended up buying a white GTR from Autoshop. They gave me a good price on my car and GTR is really straight and clean. Its a 94 model with N1 Bar inserts and N1 Front and Rear lips. It also has a Kakimoto catback exhaust. I made a thread in General Automotive that has all the pics in it :D I'm really really pleased with the car and Tim & Jason at Autoshop were really helpful and good to deal with.

Would recommend them to anybody.

I think SVI have just moved again. Not sure where they are now...

nope - he's closed his yard. he is still doing brokering. been doing a few cars for him as of late and thats the info I have currently.

as for yards:

Mark @ IAC.

Paul @ motorman

Mick @ SVI

Jason/David @ autoshop

Craig @ Carmen imports

i do the odds and sods work for these guys so I see what goes on most of the time.

AJM stay away, I bought my car from there a few years ago when they were at Kangaroo point and it was sold to me unroadworthy with a road worthy, they are not to be trusted. Then once the contracts were signed he added in after the sale the the car was for race and restoration only on the back of the contract.

I bought my car from Craig at Carmen Imports and must say from the first time I spoke to him I've been pleased with the service I get.

All this GTR talk is making me want one though :cheers: lol

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...

Mark is as much a salesman as the others I dealt with there.

The car however, (and it seemed so for others) was good. I certainly can't fault it.

I paid a visit to IAC yesterday and must say i wasn't too happy with the service there... I didn't see Mark around anywhere though, otherwise i would've gone straight to him. They also didn't really have much of a selection of cars, unless you want one of those delica van thingos...

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
