wanted: magical importer or such.

[tomj]

everyone keeps saying how you can grab these magical r32's and cefiros for around the 5k mark... even in na form thats pretty cool

however, where the fark are they all... im yet to see one for sale.

if i could source one id probobly grab it..

so do they exist or are they all bs?

[predator]

I think there is the odd one that goes for $6k for the "rubbery" landed figure.. which basically means they are free in japan (they're scrap metal to them), but then you have to add the engineering, stamp duty, registration, etc. It all adds up to at least another $1-$2k.

They are around but who knows the condition. Some look good in the photos. Not sure who is exactly buying these cars, probably noobie p-platers. Some must have landed in the country by now? Don't hear much feedback on any of them.

[tomj]

i wouldnt mind a na ceffy that needed paint for around 5k

i know there was an auto turbs in adelaide for 5600 which is quite good... either way cant seem to find them or 32's....

[Sheepy]

Go speak to dairboy on the Fast Fours Forums, or www.prestigemotorsport.com.au

But you won't get one for 5k, try around 7-8k at least.

Mine is coming in August, so i'll tell you guys how it is then

[DLuded]

mines coming soon aswell

got mine from dairyboy

[JAS-25T]

word of warning with dairyboy, from FFF

make sure yours getting what you pay for and double check everything

as with any importer of course

i imported through him

pm me for details if need be

as i wont defame anyone publicly

[jake32]

mine arrives this weekend

turbo auto

sunroof,one owner 76000 log books,cruise control, grade 4 no accident`s or repairs...will owe just over $8k complied

this is about as cheap as good cefiro`s get..turbo`s anyway

the $5k cars are garbage ...scrap cars ..don`t waste your time ... get some thing decent to start with..there is some nice one`s still there

[Duncan]

my r32 gtr was $9k landed. compliance wasnt required so that saved a few tho but its still a good price. Mechanically the car was excellant, but had poor paint and is getting a respray

[tomj]

9k!!!!!

pm me some more details dude.

[jake32]

my r32 gtr was $9k landed

looks like you found the majical importer

can you me 3 gtr`s @ 9K each ?

[BHDave]

If you can get one for the equivalent of about 1500 bucks then it'll cost between 8-9k landed and registered. 1500 bucks still doesn't get you much so you have to look pretty hard. The really good ones go for alot more.

But you now have the extra bullshit that was brought in a couple of weeks ago that bits of the air conditioning have to be removed before it goes on the boat so basically add 200-300 to get it here and 400 to fix the aircon when it arrives

[Duncan]

$9k was easy...is about 400k yen in jp, you can check the rest of the costs from the calculator at http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/

However, like I said the car was not in great condition...and I haven't had to pay for rego or compliance because its a race car. All other costs are the same tho

[tomj]

ok perhaps i should refine my question : where the hell are you guys finding these cars? i know of j-spec and prestige but there has to be alot more places out there.

[fatz]

check out dunkans car on my web page

link is under my name

[fatz]

i bought a gts-x for 14000 yen (buy price) when aust dollar was 65 yen

all up it cost 6k complied in australia with rego and engioneered

[tomj]

can you pm me with some more info ?

would be much appreciated...

my daily driver vn just put a rod through the block last night so im not going to bother with it.

[Duncan]

Hey Tomj, just talk to Geoff at Prestige, Im sure he can find these cars for you. Mine just came from the kobe auctions.

Best of all the yen is still 78 to the dollar

[tomj]

id prefer not to...

being from wa and all and knowing certain things means id rather not.

[tomj]

p.s this in no way means he isnt good. its just a personal preference due to some things that dont really matter to anyone asides from me and my mates.

plus 1k fee on a car id be paying 1500 for isnt fair... should be a staggered system

[Duncan]

well, the problem with the brokerage fee is they do the same amount of work no matter what the price is....would you want them to check it less thoroughly because it was worth less? All the paperwork takes just as long too

In any case, as long as you don't expect too much from a 15yo car it can be a great deal.
