Mine was bought from an auction and shipped and reached melbourne within about a month, but that was due to very helpful family members, but then its taken about 2 months now to go through customs and compliance because i imported a series 3 v35.

But have you tried to get in direct contact (phone not email) with who every is shipping the car from japan?

Series 3 V35?

[DUSHED]

Yeah there was a series 3, i don't know how it was categorized but from what i can tell it was only 06 models, and there are 3 people in australia who can compliance them, 1 in Qld, 1 in Perth and now 1 in Melbourne.

Edit: I found some info about series 3

hey thanks for that info man...im going thru a custom broker...so they are handling all the shipping for me...but I'm just wondering because its been like 2-3 weeks and the car isn't even on a ship yet...is this normal??

I did have to wait about 2 weeks for my car to get on a boat but I was told which boat it would be on and when it was leaving just a few days after the auction. '2 weeks waiting for the shipping schedule' seems a little strange.

yeh to this point I still don't know which boat my car will be on because they are "waiting for the shipping schedule" to be announced...

sounds sus right?

I thought shipping schedules are put on a website somewhere for everyone to see....

2 weeks waiting until it was on a boat

took 12 weeks from the day i payed for it to the day i was driving it.
