If You're Happy With Your Import Car, Who Brought It In?

None of those on the recommendation list have been proved or deemed guilty of odo tampering during recent investigations.

I'm not saying that none have done it though.

I bought a car of Nagoya motors on paramatta road my V36 350gt, but the car seems very good and i haven't had any problems with it yet ... touch the fake wood interior :P so id give them the thumbs up.

How long ago and have you checked the k's?

I bought my 250GT from Nagoya and very happy with it. I have my doubts about the kays and the honesty of the dealer, but bought the car based on condition not the mileage. No accidents, very straight body, nice paint, super clean inside with very little wear, no dodgy repairs, rust free, etc... came up really well after a full detail too.

Two years and 20,000km later, its been faultless (knock wood) and gets driven 90km each day. Only things I've had to do is replace the crappy soft front rotors and dumped the factory single cd player that had some jap pop cd stuck inside

First time importing I went with Iron Chef and got a Mark X, I am happy with the car but I don't think I will use Iron Chef again, the lack of communcation and some email's not getting replied back, had to chase up the complaince shop to see if the car had arrive and when it will be ready and organise being registered myself. A bit disappointing but other than that I am happy with the car.

^that sounds pretty normal to me. Once it's on its way to compliance I dont think the importer should be ringing around checking up on your car. I had the details of the transport company who informed me once it arrived in my city, but from there it got picked up by someone local.

From compliance till registration really isn't importers problem unless something has occurred from either during transport or from the auction house.

Waiting for compliance , getting a certificate and finally registration has nothing to do with the importer either.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
