Hi guys,

I looked for a few skylines yesterday and saddened me to see some of them are kept in shitty condition

I got a few engine tuner friends in japan who said they would be more than happy to find me a mint r34 gtt manual

Who should I call to have that car brought into aus..

Importing procedure, shipping, complience etc...

Possibly payment for that car

Any advice is happily accepted..

id be willing to try it all myself but might need help along the way..

ive done crazy intercountry travels in the past and did it myself eg, animal across a country and moving personal posessions through freight forwarders so I may have some experience there.

Thanks guys..

Happy to help in anyway we can.

BTW we are still in japan and still the only Broker to supply Private people in Australia been in Bussiness since 1997 with our hands on the cars in Japan doing pre inspections.

Recently We are changing our modeling to go back to supplying peeople direct instead of being the middle man making all the others look so good.

If you need hep in any aspect im more than happy to help free of charge if you think you can do most things yourself with a little guidence.

Thanks for the replies,

I am excited, ive saved for a long time..

To, manual kasko.. what did u import and what was paid in total in au $

How many yen was the car in japan also?

To, primo... thanks buddy, I will look you up when I am ready for advise

But usually. If going it alone.. whats the first few steps..

I read I must choose an import method.. there are several to pick from.. ie depends on car type.. I got confused when I read that..

Something about a private use car and must use a specific document to fillout and get a import permit..

Lastly, if I choose a service provider. Do they charge approx 1000$ because they help source a car, if the import process is all is required do you think it would be cheaper..

I dont mind paying for an expert to take care of all documents.. but gotta be reasonable.

Thanks again guys.. I will call my buddy in japan tomorrow and get an idea of what im looking for etc

$1000 would probably include sourcing the car costs but that's hardly the most crucial part of the process. I would say most of the work comes when the car lands here in Aus with clearing customs etc.

I wouldn't suggest trying to organise it all yourself. Especially since you are so unsure of the process. It's a recipe for disaster.

Email the guys at iron chef and I'm sure they would be happy to provide you details and costs.

Process is much simpler than you realize. ill handle all the documents free of course. it takes 5 minutes of my time to organize shipping docs, import approvals , transport to the compliance shop.

we are and still do broker many cars from start to finish Australia wide and many of them have been free if we export the car from japan.

      And one last super random thought, I remember when SAUNSW had a dinner with Alan Heaphy, and another with Fred Gibson there was talk of the R32 GTR cast alloy uprights failing in racing, and one of the things Fred did when they had to add weight to the vehicle was taken the failing alloy uprights, and have them made of steel. Does anyone remember back to 1990/1991/1992 and WHAT was failing in the front hubs/uprights?

      If you truly want to know how the original failed though, was it a factory defect possibly etc, send it off for investigation. Would probably cost a shit tonne.   The ones that you need to win lotto for, unless you have a good reason for that part to be bolt on, I'd probably roll with getting a few small stitch welds carefully put in place as an extra safety factor once everything is all torqued up tight

      Are you sure? Because I wouldn't necessarily be. Do we even know the material they've made the new uprights from?   Looking at the fractures in the earlier pics, it does to me look like both a twisting, and levering upward action doing the damage, so you're hoping for both compression, and tension. Depending on the bolts, they can stretch (even high grade bolts will) and now you're hoping for the threads themself not to stretch, as if they do, bye bye mating surfaces holding together, hello bolts now going into shear.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.
