Advice Needed

[GTR_RB26TTS]

Hi all. Looking to import a JZX110 mk2

Given I'm Vic, I am thinking of goin to j-spec and getting it through them.

I think Import Factory are the compliance guys I need to talk too about it? Bit unsure of the whole compliance side of it. I've always purchased locally for my imports over the years but it's looking like importing is required for this particular craving i have.

Any advice or pointers would be appreciated as prices seem to vary a bit which is not making it an easy decision.

Thanks Pete.

I have recently bought a Toyota Mark II JZX110 and waited for 2 months from finding the car, shipping to here + compliance.

My Mark II is all stock and have leather interior, sunroof, LSD & EMV(Touch screen TV).

Which model you are after?

There are GT-B, IR-V, Fortuna & Fortuna Yamaha Power.

Exactly what are you asking???

How much is compliance?? Budget toward 4.5k.. If by some miracle you get it cheaper than that.. Awesome.

How much is a good car?? It varies between If you want black, white, auto or manual...

^^^^son goku is not lieing he really did get that. From what I've read it sounds awesome.. But I heard that the compliance yard that's doing it will take about four months to do it....

(just kidding!!!!)

I have one as a daily, great car! Mine will shortly be for sale, if you're after a black manual...Mr Eps knows the story...

[Mr Eps]

No I don't know uncle chef... Tell us again???

If your going through j-spec then they will usually handle the compliance side and sending it to Import Factory.

So no need to talk to them until your car arrives there.

If you want to save on the brokers fee then you could go straight to the Import Factory and talk to Shui. I'm sure he could find you a car you like.

I've had a few black cars, so not really all that keen on another. A bitch to keep clean.

I really don't have a budget. Whatever it costs it whatever it costs really.

I believe manual is rare? So probably command a higher price, but that's ideally what I'd be chasing.

Does anyone have links to spec lists/comparison pages?

Chef’s comments: This, dear readers, is the Royale with Cheese version of a JZX110 – a series 2 model in black, factory manual, factory leather seats, rear camera and multifunction display! If you came to me and asked me to find you a JZX110 with this combo of features, I would laugh at you and tell you to go away. Just so you know, the owner of this car imported it through me, then stumbled across another example (no leather though) with even less kms on the odometer, so he bought that and is now selling this one. As a JZX110 owner myself, I can tell you they are chock full of awesome – my heart yearns to buy this one!! Andgiven it is nearly ready for rego, you don't even have to wait for it to come from Japan!

This car is already landed and complied in Sydney and selling for $35,000.

Here you can see what they are selling for and then figure out the rest. Also you can see how rare the manuals are.

Yeah....it didnt work.......go here

I should be working, but I think that I just found what you're after

You said that you dont like black and this is as far from black as you can get........but DAMN! thats a lot of money for a 7 year old car, imacculate as it is. Would end up costing around $40,000+ to get it on the road.
