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?

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
