I'm going to cry if mine doesn't make it on to the ship that is arriving in december, I will speak to the shop today and find out how thye work over the december period and stuff

WHY IS NOTHING EVER EASY! god damn new cars, aren't the lots full! I drive past and think they can't have sold anything as there isn't anymore space to put cars on the lots

mark

(sorry, getting quite upset now as I wanted to drive it by xmas, it was my present to myself this year)

Guys

I imported a Soarer around Christmas 2 years ago and had heaps of probs including the Front whee falling off. The tyre joint stuffed up the front wheel nuts and it came off whilst on the way to the exhaust shop.

They ended up paying for all the repairs :D but it took 7 weeks to see the car on the road.

I m now in the process of importing a R32 GTST Type M and its missed the boat. :boohoo:

Oh well its to be expected. You would have thought I would have learnt the first time.

Cheers

I have spoken to my compliancer and they said they don't close down over xmas, so if the car gets here he said it will be in and out in a week including fitting the few mods I have

so thats some good news, hope fully its in on the next boat

They would be silly to close at that time with the amount of 15 year cars coming in at the moment. They'd only be doing themselves out of heavy business.

There would be thousands sitting over there in Japan, and that have recently landed.

Hello To you all, heres my update.. some 6 pages ago and back on 1/8 i was trying to find out times on import approval everyone saying 4-6 weeks.. well Guess what today was my lucky day! Finally.. ive been allowed to import a August 89 Gtr32 in November! There getting quick these days! Well that aint so sacastic for you all.. 14 days and longest like a month! :) oh i cant whinge about that.. i can only whinge about not driving it now.. and paying the holding fees at the docks!! Enough from me.. but i guess if someone asks me if it was worth importing affter my first drive which should be next week i guess ill say hell yeah but now, i should of just brought one here!

Hey guys, i sent my import approval off about 2 weeks before the correct month and i got it back in record time. The thing to consider is that the time it takes to receive back your approval is mostly taken up by the application waiting to be processed. It only takes then a few minutes to process it. So i received my approval back in excellent time and was very happy. Since then, earlier this week i heard that my car was landing today in brisbane (KIWI carrier). I wasent even aware it had gotton on board a ship! So that was very exciting. The car will be trucked down to me in Melbourne to my door after it passes thru customs and quarantine. So it should be in my hands in about 2 weeks max! Very excited. I've never even driven a GTR lol. I have had a fair bit of experience driving high powered turbo cars but never a GTR. Im sure it wont let me down :D

what agent did you use GODZILLA32??

I wasent going to use a Customs agent as my friend has imported alot of cars himself, but in the end when the lady called i think from KIWI car carriers i decided to just let them handle it all and be done with it. You can call the people im using on 03 9614 8100. Ask for Nicki Groves.

Well, I put mine through on the 25th last month, and got it today - that's a 20 day turnaround which is exactly how long they said it would take.

I would be happy - however i have sweet F.A chance of getting it on a ship any time soon!

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
