Reputable Import Yards In Sydney?

ikq9xzo5hFxee.gif

I've imported my last 2 cars personally using import brokers, even then you have to do your research & know what you're potentially getting into.

Buying from a yard might be more time convenient but if the seller can't provide a genuine auction inspection sheet & de-registration cert from japan then be very wary.

cheers guys ...wasn't thinking of buying from .. just taking a good stickybeak and seeing what Id prefer in person ... so can do my homework a bit that way .. so was asking here basically to find out which yards would have decent stock to view and poke around ?

If all you want to do is look it doesn't really matter about their reputation does it?

This^^^

If you want to drive the different cars then go to any car lot on Parramatta road. When you want to buy one don't buy on Parramatta road. Simples...

Contact iron chef when you want to buy one.

If you just want to have a bit of a look then it doesn't matter where you go. Check them out anyway see what you like to sit in and what you like to drive. Please do no buy from Parramatta Rd, but I think you know this already.

Seriously, check out the SAU for sale section. There are some great cars on this forum owned by enthusiasts, regularly serviced, good mods etc. If you can't find anything you like then maybe look at importing?

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL
    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
