G'day Blutonium,

I got your PM, unfortunatley being a newb I can't reply just yet, (sorry to everyone else for resurrecting and old thread).

Re:broker. I did it through Southern Special Vehicles in Oakley, Victoria. Decided to go with them after cruising through these forums, they seemed to have a fairly good reputation (with a rep for possibly being a little more expensive than some of the others). Additionally the guys there are really good to deal with and always in regular contact. They floated a couple of cars past me before we settled on one and they were happy to keep going until I found one I that was just right. The standard of cars they have floated me has been consistently high, and they provided me with extensive photo's in, out and under the car.

I visited a different Melbourne importer who I wont name, after speaking to a guy very briefly who had me wait while he telephoned sombody to demand money from them (presumably another satisfied customer) I couldn't wait to get out of there.

Even though I've had a fairly good experience (so far) with importing, I would still advise buying locally if you can. I'm not paying any less by importing one; my only reason for doing it is I've been very particular with what I'm after and couldn't find it locally.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
