If you car has been on the docks for a month there are a few possible excuses:

1) Your car has swine flu, or loaded with cocaine, and has been pinged by customs

2) The workshop forgot to apply for import approval and they're still waiting on it

3) If you are paying your importer rather than the suppliers direct, your importer has run out of money and they won't release the car off the docks until the bills are paid.

Regardless of the reason, make sure you're not having to pay the storage fees.

hi been a little while i still havnt got my car. the importer sed that customs wanted the original pink slips of the car and that they only recently started asking for them n he didnt know. it sounds like a load of crap to me any1 know if this pink slip or deregistration stuff came out new or been arnd for a while? and how much would storage cost if its been in there for just say 2 months?

It's completely normal for the importation process to include deregistration slips being verified. But normally that is done BEFORE the car is shipped to Australia. Customs would only ask for that documentation if they have reason to suspect foul play. Sounds interesting man, you could ring them diret and find out exactly what is going on?

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
