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?

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

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.

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
