Well as of one week ago my 1996 R33 GT-R is on it's way to Australia thanks to Iron Chef Imports, they really impressed me with their service and would gladly recommend them! :)

A couple years overdue but he did get me my Caldina. Nice and painless. Quick and easy. All we had to do was journal the money to whoever it needed to go to and pick the car up.

Currently have an 8MR just beginning its journey here. Only because the person above^ would not sell me his.... :P

SPECIAL VEHICLE IMPORTS ~ BRISBANE, gets my vote. :thanks:

When I decided to chase an import I called SVI. Mick (the principle) from SVI in Brisbane found, inspected, purchased, imported, complied & assisted in temporary registration of my Stagea in Queensland back in 2006. Organised over the phone from WA. Never met the gentleman before I picked up the car ( Mick was recommended to me by my son) & I haven't seen or heard from Mick/SVI since, apart from the initial "do not hesitate to contact if there is a problem" kind of thing. Not that I ever needed to, the car was perfect, there were no surprises, either in final cost or vehicle quality Mick gave me absolutely everything I had asked for at the price quoted. I drove the car out of his workshop & headed for WA. Car never missed a beat on that journey (3500km~ 3.5 days) & has not since. I had the alternator replaced about 3 years ago. That's it. Couldn't have been happier with the service & thanks to the forum for giving me the opportunity to do it now.

I do not know if Mick or SVI are still trading.

My 2c

Cheers GW

Mastercars blacktown gets my vote. Purchased my r34 gtt last year from them with no hiccups. I've recommended them to three others who purchased from them. All of us are happy. Sam and heshan are nice, honest and genuine blokes

anyone dealt with import monster before?

A mate is getting his Majesta through Aaron and is very happy with his work

I've bought heaps of parts through him before and I would expect his organisation and help that I have had through him be the same as importing a car

I went through J-Spec and had nothing but good dealings with Ben

Having taken delivery of my R32-GTR on Friday, I can happily recommend the services of the Iron Chef

Entree (finding the car) , Mains (getting the car) and Dessert (compliancing the car) were excellent.

Cheers

MasterCars gets my vote too. Bought my 32 GT-R off of them in January and it runs like a dream. Sam and Heshan are very accommodating.

I've used Kristian/Iron Chef in the past to import my Legnum, stand up bloke and does a good, honest job.

In saying that don't just buy a car from him, wait until he has one of his "Free reacharound with every purchase." offers going, THEN you'll get your monies worth ;)

Im at Step 3 of the importing process with Iron Chef, Troy has been great to deal with never hassled me found a Excellent Condition GTR under budget with low km's in the colour of my prefrence

This topic accualty pointed me in the direction of ICI these guys are easily the benchmark for Import Brokers cant fault them nothing but high praise so far.

    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
