Hey everyone. Just after some feedback on this dealer, I am looking to import a r33 gtr through these guys. I have already done a sau search and google search but there isnt any recent reviews/feedback? What happens if you import a car and it ends up being a bucket? Any other information would be good. I have heard there are a few people on here who import cars, I am just alittle wary on handing my dorras over to some who could run off with the money, not to say someone with a business can't do that.

Are you looking to Import from Japan? Or purchase a car that is actually on Australian soil through the dealership.

stateroads site above will only help if the car is physically here in Aus..

Yep, as r32-25t stated. Once you pay for the car in Japan, it's yours. You can't just "exchange" or "return" the car if it's not to your liking... It's not retail..

What you can do, is have a reputable importer have their Japanese ground staff conduct an inspection of the car pre auction and then decide if you want to bid on the car.

Ahh I c.. from what old mate told me on thr phone, he was going to find the car for me. If I am happy with what they find, I can put a holding deposite on it and they import it and then I re-inspect it when it arrives and if I'm not happy with it no deal. BUT you have me worried, I would rather have the car inspected before it comes over by people who no what there doing..

From the sounds of what you have said, Nagoya wants semi ownership of the car giving you the option to purchase it once it lands.

I'd take a guess and say if you didn't like the car, they will prob keep the holding deposit and then sell the car in their yard to the public.

Do you have to sign a contract for the holding deposit? I'd be reading that thoroughly to see if there were any 'non-refund' clauses if you choose not to go ahead with the purchase.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
