congrats....they all want to clear their desks before christmas hols, LOL

Yep thats right people,

As with Richard (mmmgtir) I have received my import approval in the post today (6/12) which I sent to DOTARS by express post on the 29/11.

And here was I thinking at least 3 weeks with the rush.

:(

Nick will be a bit coy, but the truth is he wants to become a wagonist and has bought a kick-ass tarago with 8 foot long rear wing and disco style interior. I imagine the GTR will be for sale soon.

Sorry man. Does this mean I won't be invited to the first disco in the tarago? C'mon, disco richard likes to party.

he he. Seriously, I love the crazy taragos.

I've got pics of where J-Spec holds their cars while waiting for them to reach their 15th birthday. I was told it was a high security area and only customs officials could enter. bolocks. Try a rice field with chooks running around

don`t tell me someone from j-spec is not telling the truth!!!!! :D

Bad news - we got another answer from the yard holding the car and they will not let anyone in there, not even the owner - it is a customs controlled area and security is tight.

The only thing we could do is move the car elsewhere for inspection and then back to the holding yard again, this might cost around 25,000 yen so it might not be worthwhile?

We will ask again later on when it's closer to the time but I don't fancy our chances now that we have been told this.

MRK25T: no offence mate, but a picture of a bunch of cars in a field proves nothing in terms of your claims. I've seen many similar pics on various sites and all it proves is that there are a lot of secondhand cars in fields in Japan (if it is in fact a picture of cars in Japan).

Disclaimer: I don't work for and am not associated with J-Spec. I've met Craig Moor and believe him to be honest and genuine.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
