Thanks for the mention, I'm sure you'll love the car when it arrives. :) If anyone is interested to see some example auction inspections undertaken in Japan to understand the efforts we go to at auction to ensure we source only the best cars, you can check them out here: http://prestigemotorsport.com.au/inspection-examples/

Prestige Motorsport (PM) has a nice web page. However, they never answer phone calls. Has anyone used PM? I am going to get an Estima hybrid in the near future. Recommendations for a good importer would be much appreciated. JACE has a range of nice import cars. However, the selection would be narrorwer than Japanese auction.

Thanks yangys for your feedback on our website, however "they never answer phone calls" simply is not true. Please bear in mind that I get a lot of calls every day, and I spend considerable time explaining the import process and providing price estimates in order to provide the best service - I don't believe in asking for payment unless I can definitely assist. I am also busy with auction inspections and bidding for clients throughout the day, and this year post-covid has been the busiest time for imports in 20 years. Clients must come first on busy auction days, general enquiries second. If I am on the phone or busy, I'm sorry but your call will go to message.

Being based in Perth, some early morning calls inevitably go to message with the 3 hour daylight savings time difference. Nevertheless I make sure to return all calls as soon as possible, and for clients I am available pretty much 24/7.

For impartial feedback from clients, you can check our Facebook Reviews and Google Reviews.

My number is on our website, and you are welcome to call me now if you want. You can also email me, I answer most mails within the day, if not within the hour. Just note that we will be closing up early this year on 19th Dec, it's been such a big year that we are taking a few extra days off.

So, that being said... :) Regarding the Estima hybrid, you've made a good choice. They are great cars and will be one of the most popular imports to Aust in coming years as the petrol-only Estimas will be excluded from import with the new SEVS from about 2022. The Toyota Synergy Drive system is one of the best hybrid systems available, and these get impressive fuel economy as well as being very easy to drive and reliable. Most cost effective at the moment for Aust (as of Dec 2020) would be a higher km 2010 to 2014 model. These are in the sweet buying range for price, age, condition and features. Low km hybrids are still relatively expensive.

I have lots of sales data I can send you if needed, and you're welcome to free trial our automated auction alerts system as well to receive daily updates of available Estima hybrids.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
