I used Prestige Motorsport for my Series II and would use them again for sure. Geoff is happy to answer questions and I had a lot of them and everything happened as he said he would.

Contact Geoff and have a chat (email is best).

Good Luck

Errr, I know its my own opinion.............. but I went through JSpec over all other importers including the one aformentioned here..... Extremely happy with their service and have not looked back

But yeah, I went through the same predicament when I was looking for a broker too....... and i believe this topic has been covered before. NEvertheless, I can only speak from personal experience, and I was glad that I went with those guys.

Good luck!

when i look at the stock list for prestige their eiter got riped seats, accident cars, dints, scratches ?

whats the go their ?

how did you guys get good cars ?

I asked prestige about an r32 gtr, he added me to the list, i was then receiving an email everyday with about 20 gtr's for sale... What you see on the site isnt all of them..

What you see on the site is pretty much whats left over and not picked up by those on the "buyers" mailing list... basically, he finds cars, emails interested buyers (you pay $1100 for this), if none of those buyers buy it, it goes to the list.

yeh, the reason i'm thinkin seriously bout goin through Phil ( direct imported ) is because i know phil n his family . Phil comes from my town n my dad knows is parents rather well so yeh not sure but i hear lots of good things from prestige i'll hav to think bout it ..

If you want hassle free importing, use UPI Imports

Dean runs that.

www.upimports.com.au

I imported my old R32 GTR , anytime of the day/night he was always happy to answer any questions, even after owning the car for 6months, i prompted him for assistance once night i busted something, and he was happy to help.

He's a very easy guy to deal with, and he knows how to pick a mad car!!!

You'll find alot of other importers who just want their $1000 fee and they don't care if you import a dodgy sh!tbox,

Dean recommends only decent cars and has fantastic contacts in Japan, you'll definately know the quality of the car is exactly what dean tells you!

Haven't found 1 thing bad to say about him.

Give him a call, he'll answer any of your questions, 0411 691 744

I will be importing next car through him in a few months time.

Above is my opinion, though im sure many others will agree!

Ok well I have to be very easy on what I can say here as I have a conflict of interest.

Under the new system a RAW can only bring in and comply ar car. Make sure who ever you get you'r car imported from IS A RAW.

I work for SVi. Special Vehicle Imports in QLD. We would be happy to help any Members from this forum.

My name is Zac so if you want to call just ask for me tell me you are from this forum and I will be glad to help a member.

If you want to call me anytime at work our number is 3865 8999.

Well, anyone (including brokers like Prestige) can arrange and import the car for you, no matter who you import thru you will have to go to a complier like SVI or similar to get the car on the road.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
