You have to remeber that they are only brokers, they aren't selling the car personally so the only real differences in the landing prices should be their service fee. It's also good to keep in mind that the landing esimates including different things.. eg some don't include compliance others do. Also remember that there are things like shipping, GST and import duty where the price varies depened on what car you are importing, so the brokers can only estimate the cost. You'll find that some brokers have different estimates and sometimes these estimates also tend to be a little conservative and might overstate the expense, so you will often end up spending a little bit less or have a little extra money budgeted incase prices rise or something.

Which payments are you talking about? With the original FOB payment, the supplier in Japan will send your broker the invoice, then your broker will forward the invoice to you. Then you pay the money directly to the supplier in Japan through telegraphic transfer.

The customs broker will send you an itemized bill, which has all the customs and quarantine charges as well as shipping, Import Duty and GST.

The payment to your broker is how you would do a normal payment (cheque, electronic transfer - whatever) as they are in Australia.

Hope this answers your question.

Hi Guys,

I own JDM wholesale and yes we are based in NZ, I would recommend you find someone based in Australia as we concentrate on the NZ market which has quite a different set of rules by which to play. Not saying that we can't sell you a car, but we can't handle the compliance for you.

In saying that though I have an R33 GTS25-t that will be in Aus in the next week or so, as a test car for our own interest, after that we should be better able to assist you once we have the process sorted ourselves. We don't use our customers as test cases.

If you wish to check our reputation in NZ, I can put you in touch with many memebers on SDU (Skylines Downunder NZ) that we have sold cars to.

Cheers

James

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
