I'm going to add a vote for iron chef imports because I'm completely happy with the car I received from them.

There were no hidden surprises except for the bonus it has some nice coilovers that I was unaware of.

The quality of the paint and car in general is exactly as described.

If I import again then I will be going through them. Thanks guys

Another vote for the team at Iron Chef Imports. I got my Crown Estate through them, they were quick to reply to any queries I had, kept me well informed and were very professional to deal with.

Another vote for iron chef

They just imported my r33 and I have nothing but good things to say about kristian and troy :)

Couldn't be happier with the car and it was well within budget.

I'm currently half way through the process on importing a V35 Skyline using Ben from J-Spec Imports.

You can check out my blog about the whole process if you're interested and read up on my thoughts about both J-Spec (Import Agent) and Bespoke (Compliance Workshop).

4 cars I had imported through Nsp. 3 out of 4 cars were fantastic while the only 1 was average

So a 75% hit rate is not bad.

R34 Gtt sedan - great

Evo Tme - fantastic

R34 Gtr V Spec bayside blue - average

M35 Stagea - excellent

Very happy with my S30z & the service I got through Craig at Diyimport (kakimoto33 on the forums)

Quick to reply to my questions & kept me informed every step of the way. Highly Recommended!

Ive bought 3 cars of Phil AKA PRIMO on here or Direct Imported Japan, each one was a great car. I can’t recommend him highly enough and he would be the only one I would buy from for future cars. He has been around for a long time.

I would like to add another one for Iron Chef Imports. I hope it will count.

For full disclosure, I did not get to the stage of having a car landed and complied (reason below) however I did go through every other process involved. Searching for a car etc. I have to say Troy was brilliant, nothing was to much trouble and I sure bugged him a heck of a lot. The process was very easy all my concerns were met and I felt completely secure during it all.

The reason I did not get one landed, was because in the end I decided I wanted a new model vehicle and because of import laws (car now sold in Australia, I couldn't import) I ended up buying a 2014 Australian car, NOT a import.

I bought my NM35 off the lot at JLM. Great service by Todd and his team.

However, I'd give ICI a plug too as I had an email conversation over a few weeks with Kristian about preferred models before deciding on the NM35. I was leaning towards a Legnum over the C34 and Aristo until the NM35 reared it's head after a successful test drive with Adam at JLM.

Does this count for both?

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
