Guys

I got the news mine was bumped and missed the November Ship.

I decided to bump mine to the January, December is a shocking month to have an import come in. Warfys are on go slows and compliance workshops are half closed.

I got caught last time I had a car import two years ago.

The import duties are dropping next year so I should save myself a few hundred bucks.

Cheers

Sorry to hear dood

So lets see delivbery into Perth early December. Allow a week to clear customs and steam clean it. Now thats mid December

Deliver to w/shop and let it sit in there for three to four weeks allowing for holidays over Chrismas and newyear.

Rego.

My guess is Early to mid Jan before you see it on the road.

PS Make sure the work shops are ready to work on your car

Cheers :wassup:

I varys who is getting the car on the boat for you and where it leaves from as I had a Supra bought up in Tokyo last week and it left on the boat a couple of days ago, he is Japanese and we had to pre pay the freight.

I have cars leaving down in Kyushu and could only get one on the boat out of three and the one that got priority we paid for it 2 months ago.

K Line over booked new cars and we were going to get nothing on the boat until a few people called K line in Fremantle so they called Japan and pushed to get some cars on.

Imported second hand cars are a low priority, some of the big time guys who do 50 to 100 cars a month cant even get space.

Well good news for me I guess is that I just found out that my car is currently on a Kiwicar ship over here.. :) Its been a wait of about 2 months since it was eligible to when it was shipped, but should be here in about 2-3 weeks I guess. On road 2-3 weeks after that hopefully.

I like the little dot on the map they have to show where the ship is exactly :)

the r33? sold that about 4 months ago...the suspension setup was never really that great and a few others things on it needed changing, and was getting bored with it anyhow. Want a cheaper chasis to setup everything exactly how I want it - fresh start!

Hey guys just thought id let you know i sent my import approval off over 2 weeks prior to november, month my GTR was built (as instructed by geoff) and i just got the approval in the mail today. I was pretty relieved :rofl:

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
