Yup I have officially started the whole "import thing"

I have put my $825 deposit down with SVI (Special Vehicle Imports) to start looking for a car for me. After having looked in the trading post for the last 2 months or so and only seeing one which I liked I figured meh if I am spending that much money I had may as well get exactly what I want... so I have told them exactly what I want and fingers crossed they should come up with something in the couple of weeks which I can bid on...

basically asked them to get me a stockish S2 R33 Black with genuine low km's. I am just keen to get the car before I think about modding it to much but I think end result will be very similar to aurora's two shmick S2's in Canberra woot

anyways I will update this thread as time goes on letting you know how the process goes and what I think of it anyways. As long as this is ok with the mod's or should I not use names ??? anyways I am confident they will get me what I am after they have been very helpful unlike some other companies who I won't name...

so yea fingers crossed I should have a skyline in 2 - 3 months maybe a little more.

hey leech, I got my car thru SVI...got nothing but good things to say about them!!

they did everything...Mick picked it up from the docks and organised all the compliance, even put it on a Finemores truck to come down here from Brissy..

when the compliancers forgot to put in my FM expander, he sent me one straight away.

anyway, good luck! and don't get too hung up on the kms...go for a good auction grade :(

cheers for all the replies guys.

and yea shell i have been speaking with Zac and Mick both seem like top blokes offering alot of advise and filling me in on a few area's i was a little worried about. Plus as you said they will do pretty much everything for me i just pick out the car and pay them some $$$'s and wait for my car to arrive. but all in all i am confident in who is buying my car for me so i am happy :D

maybe we should make a black s2 meetup now that theres a few more going round

sounds good to me ;0 go the blacks skylines ;)

and shell if you have any extra info on what to look for at auction please pm me or that goes for anyone :D

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
