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.

Regards, Phil

I just got an R34 through them and the car is amazing

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.

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
