A guy at work is after an import for around $10k.

Can anyone:

A.) Recommend an Importer/Broker; and,

B.) Any idea of what he would get for that money? He's after a sedan, n/a, auto.

Positive comments only posted thanks. :(

Please PM me with the names of those Importers you wouldn't go near. :)

j-spec got me mine, and mine ain't performance... cefiro, laurels and steaga's are nice as far as nissan goes, then there's the eunos's that u can get, or a GTS4 non turbo r32... which is probably what i'd reccomend, a lil rare, but pretty cheap. J-Spec also go thru private sales in japan in addition to the auctions which they list on their website, so as long as he can wait for a month he should be able to get one. Maybe his budget might blow out to about 12k max

As far as 4 door imports go:

Toyota Chaser Tourer

Cresta

Mark II

Toyota Prius (think that's the enviroment friendly one)

... the Skyline R32 sedan has not been approved for import under current laws, so that is out of the question at this stage ... non-turbo Skyline R33 sedans do not meet the necessary power-to-weight ratio so they are not allowed either - you could almost get a non-turbo R33 coupe but that would blow the budget (you could almost get an automatic R33 GTS25t sedan for that price though)

There is not much that you can import as far as non-turbo's these days because of the 105kw/ton minimum requirement to be eligible under the SEVS import scheme ... 15 year and older is probably the place to look but there is not much that you would want in non-turbo .. here are the best options:

non-turbo Cefiro (not a bad car - probably the best choice)

Skyline R30 or R31 (hard to find in non-turbo)

RX7 series 4 (most are turbo and only 2 door)

You can import R32 GTS-T coupes without any problems, however the complaince prices are increasing as we speak because there are very few plates left - you can expect to pay around $2,400 for at the moment with prices probably rising to around the $3,000 within the next few weeks.

The R32 sedan is not allowed for import at this stage - it probably would be allowed under the new SEVS scheme, but I do not think anyone has submitted as application for it yet - even if it was approved the compliance would have to be done by RAWS workshop and the cost would be at least $4,000.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
