Hello

I have 2 vehicles in a container on their way from New Zealand to Brisbane.

I have already spoken to Richard from Special Vehicle Imports but have since realised that most of the comments about them on here are very old.

Has anyone used them recently, or are they any other recommended options in Brisbane/QLD

Thanks

I used J-Spec, Stupidly happy with the outcome, particularly as I had never imported. Learned everything I needed. Ben even knew when to recommend a car OFF my preferred list and I got a diamond!

Plus 1 to Iron Chef

Bought in my dr... Immaculate body, under budget an super quick and easy to deal with!

Absolutely no pressure to rush is what I liked, they didn't let me buy the bad examples and encouraged me to wait

My KV36 Skyline 370GT sedan was imported and complianced by Luxury and Performance Vehicles in Bayswater VIC.

Once they had a deposit off me and they knew I was serious and able to help them identify suitable cars from the auction sites, we got on very well. They were even able to suggest newer vehicle with higher kms and grade and this is what we bought. Ability to trade in my M35 Stagea was the icing on the cake.

Stagea was imported and complianced by Northshore Prestige and the car was excellent. Only changed it because it was coming up 13 years old, I don't need the space anymore (wife has Volvo XC90) and I wanted something more modern.

Hi

Ended up having my cars both complied by Motorguard here in Brisbane after getting a recommendation from Kristian.

John from Motorguard was really efficient and sorted the safety certs/road worthy as well as the towing from the customs warehouse.

So that may be a vote for Iron Chef I think.

I also think Motorguard does not actually do much importing, mainly the complience

So the importing was done by Iron Chef then?

(Yes, JLM in Sydney, like Motorguard, doesn't do much importing these days)

    • Not at all, pure street use, touge, even drag strip and you'll be fine   There's a larger version of it too, however would be overkill for your application. If you do plan on using that sump, might as well fit a headdrain/crank case vent to help alleviate crank case pressure. Your mechanic will also notice you cannot re-use the AWD windage trays on the motor too, as it fouls with the AWD -> RWD sump. However given your usage, you'll be fine.
    • @GTSBoy yeah but the MAIN problem is that "you" guys may know that but i/my mechanic did not. I literally spend hours to find differences between Stagea and Skyline engine (even here) and found kinda "nothing" Yeah one guy mentioned that the block is larger/wider but nothing about the oil pan. Of course AWD has different one but "everybody" says...yeah just slap RWD pan... and the parts number for my N/A engine and NEO DET were the same so iam using one from my old engine. And of course being in EU/Czech many of the sites did not even show(i need VPN to be here)... @MBS206NO it is not my channel and not my video. Dont even know the guy. I just post this as a reference cuz i have the same problem. As i said you guys in AU/NZD may know this but here it is kinda a new info cuz IF someone doing this swap they already have oil pan or they make custom one.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Yeah it is AWD RB25DET NEO Yeah as you mentioned the pick up is in a different place ...but i do not drift or track the car. It is and will be strictly street and just "casual" weekend cruiser. With that "custom" pan as shown in the video...could there be some problems?  For others. Iam sorry if that topic "looks" like i want to show/boost some YT channel or numbers. Iam quite the opposite.  I would rather drive my car thru sewers than get the attention that this car gets here. I do not have any YT channel nor IG/Twitter or TikTok. I just want some info from time to time cuz here...there is none :-)
