I've imported my Skyline from Japan last year. It all went well.. I won a car at an aution for 16k, paid it and then 2 months later it was in Australia. After that, I had to do the usual - take it over the pits, put it on my name etc..

There are HEAPS of importers, some just specialise in importing specific makes. I'd probably suggest looking at the forums that Hots suggested.. and also, pick up a copy of HPI magazines, great read and give you heaps of ads of importers.

ALSO - just came to me..

You could probably google, for example, 'supra imports importers melbourne' and I'm sure there will be heaps of importers who have some already landed.

try the guys from phoenix imports, (if your in melb)

they let you search the auctions and they give all details about the cars, eg damage, paint, body, repaired, ect, ect,

they compliance and every thing.

website: phoeniximportsaustralia.com

give them a try, i'm sure even if your not from melb they can ship it to you

i was gonna import an evo7 from them, the car was about $17,000 and would cost about $25,000 - $28,000 on the road..

but then i decided to buy a '02' corolla...

saving for the evo 9.... :)

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.

      Swapping hiace motors

      Hi there, bit of background, I’ve got a 2003 Toyota hiace lwb that has a good motor but the shell is dead, and a 1993 Toyota hiace commuter extra long wheel base that has a dead motor. Both diesel, 1993 is 2.4L engine, 2003 I’m not 100% but I believe it’s also a 2.4L engine So my question is does anybody know if the 2003 motor would fit in the 1993 hiace commuter.
