Have a look at these guys. I'll be using them to take a car to NZ in late May. They also service Australia.

oh sorry mate, I didn't realise there was more than one Rezz.

I was asking you for help mate, your the super moderator in Japan right? :rofl:

Btw, I found a cheaper hr31 gts-x for only 10,000 yen which finishes tomorrow night. I have the cash, and what i'm looking to do is get the person who ships it a bonus for picking up the car and delivering the cash, then shipping it or.... arrange for the seller to drop it off, one of the two. But i'm so serious about this, I really want it

So if you can help it would be greatly appreciated, if you want money that's fine

Regards

Andrew

I think you'll find it easier to go with an Importer ...

I was thinking doing the same but its not just buying the car there's more to it than just buying a car.

You have paperwork to deal with then you need a contact or reliable person to organise the car to be delivered and then get sent to shipping port, then more paperwork plus and organise it when the car lands on OZ land, then compliance which should be easy as it will be under the 15yr rule and you can do it yourself...

But if you have experience importing a car before then go for it I might even ask you to do mine LOL

Good luck anyway

Yeah, I know there is a lot of paperwork. But I didn't want to have to spend $1k on an importer to do all the paper work

I know there will be import duties, GST (10% of purchased item is 10,000yen is about $13aus.) and government stamp duty on top of the shipping prices. Do you know a rough cost to get from Jap to Bris/aus?

Is there anything more i need to know about importing?

Here's the main 3 carriers we use at J-Spec, I've included the telephone numbers in japan, they have english speaking reps who you can talk to. They might deal direct with public, or they might refer you to a local agent who can do the shipping booking and customs, deregistration etc for you.

I spoke to the guys here if they could do it for you for a lower rate or something because they're not actively searching for a car for you or getting a mechanic check or anything, they said they'll have to see what would be involved before they can give any quotes, so I'll let you know.

thanks Funky, The auction finishes at 9pm qld time. I have to know before I bid as I don't want to be stuck.

Should I bid anyway and take the chance?

    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
    • Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.
    • I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
