Extremely happy with the car, Nothing Stolen (Infact previous owner left all his CDs in CD changer!), Runs / drives great, and presents beautifull.

I know theres thousands of import horror stories but I must say the whole importing experience for me has been great, with no problems to speak of. Bought the car at Auction on the 31st March, Landed Freo 10th May, Picked up today 19th May.

I used Prestige, Japan Auto Direct, and Universal Custom Brokers thruout the experience.

'All' costs incurred so far are:

Prestige: $1100

FOB: $14500

Import Approval: $50

UCB Fee: $3840

Total: $19490

Will post more info, Pics, and pricing as I comply it :D

Yeah shes a 90 model.

The Body work and paint is really unbelievable (Probably resprayed but meh! :D )...pics dont do it justice and it aint polished yet...perfect clear deep shine on all panels.

I'll post some engine and interior shots soon.....

Cars got a few goodies but pretty standard overall...everything is present and seems to work .......bar the AC that only blows HOT air!..?

Very happy atm ;)

a/c prob got degassed before coming over

Nah I dunno...it dosnt blow warm air....it blows 'HOT' air 'all' the time no matter what the temp set at...I think the heater is Stuck on...?

I can hear some clicking behind the dash whenever the system is tuned on.

Thats my job for the weekend :D

GAWD D@MN!!! U got some nice front grass!! U dont live in Victoria do u?

Having said that... I noticed the grasscos i was checking out those 'pimp' 34 rims in the 1st pic i was thinking is that a rubber band or is the grass making the front rubber look that way. Thats how i noticed, then i kept looking at the grass, among other things :D

I must say i cant believe the condition, u cant really tell 100% how a car is over a photo like that, but judging by that "BRAND NEW" front lip it looks amazingly clean!

Congrats and enjoy, definately a top buy!!

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
