Man, after how long it's been and it's already there waiting to be shipped, I would just wait it out and get the car of your dreams that you already payed for. I mean, it's been this long already, you're almost there with it. I think it would be all worth it in the end when you go and pick up your GTR!


Unless you're having financial trouble and really need that money back, that's understandable.


But, GTR!

I have to say my experience importing a Silvia S13 through GTR Garage was excellent. I did run into to delays with shipping of the vehicle but it was entirely the shippers fault. As well as all the paperwork they provided was more than enough to register my Silvia here in AZ (emission was an issue but thats nothing to do with GTR Garage). Overall I had a great experience dealing with them and for people reading this thread I wanted to make sure I put this out the to show that this particular situation looks more like the exception and not the rule.

Have you tried Rivsu Imports? They usually have a stock of 32's in Florida awaiting new suckers, I mean owners.

But really, Rivsu was great to work with when I was having a car shipped from mainland Japan down to Okinawa. My only advice to you is to due your research on 32 GT-R's and don't be blinded by the "OMFG SKYRINE" mentality that so many people have fallen into that aren't accustomed to being around them.

They are not reliable cars in the least bit, and this coming from a rotary guy. Yes a handful of 32's are very nice and trouble free, but the majority of them will suffer from rampant rust, ignition, oiling and turbo related issues, and botched rust repair jobs. Every GT-R owner I've known out here has had the car hard break at one point in their ownership. The common failures seem to be oil starvation in the high RPM's and/or while hard cornering, MAF's going bad, ignition coils crapping out, stock turbo's breaking (25 years of of heat!), uneducated previous owners, and RUST, RUST, RUST!!!

Not to talk you out of it if a GT-R is something you really want, I'm just asking that you do your research. If you have to "budget" just to buy a GT-R, then you might wish you hadn't when it comes time to source replacement parts.

Outside of Okinawa,Hokkaido and Northern Japan rust isn't that much of an issue. I owned several cars on mainland, one car 3 yrs in Japan no issues 3 mos after transferring to Oki boom nature begins.

Although I have no dog in this fight I would say if GT-R Garage can actually get your product, it will probably be cheaper and you don't have to worry about getting a OMFG I got a mad tight GT-E for 12K.

I'm unsure if this continues but the had reliable local speed shops overlook their cars.

truckmtrS13

I would never buy a heavily modified car sight unseen...

Ilya

Im not sure how long it takes to send a status email once a week to a client, especially if the car has not been delivered yet.

Can any one enlighten me on this email technology?

Malik

its kinda shitty this whole situation.

turboshoebox

It's lightly modifed...

burnsauto

this reminds me of my sr engine buying experience about 10 years ago. I got it from a reputable shop, paid in full, and then had the hardest time getting a straight answer out of anyone until I finally drove to the shop and saw them in person. I hope this works out for the better, weather you get a refund or not. It would be a shame if this didn't go through in the end.

They have informed me that they sent a refund. So I should see it my account Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Damn man, should have just waited a bit longer...

Oh well, glad you got your money back. Hope you find another car soon.

Nah I don't blame him for wanting to get his money back. I've imported before and it an really leave you sour when things go south. There's a lot of logistics that can make the experience either great or terrible. Missing the ship from Japan is one thing, but constantly wondering when and where the thing is another.

Good luck with the search OP.

there's a skyline sitting in a container somewhere...

Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
GTR-GARAGE is a legit company, and I'm 99% sure it is not their fault.

I believe that Skyline is lost inside a container some where. Or some one (shipping hands) liked it and came up.

But don't take it out on GTR-Garage

JDM512

I have received a full refund. It showed up when I checked my account last night and cleared this morning.

gostrider

why is there a GTR in my drive way..

Couple of things...

Oil starvation issue is easily fixed by this here thingamajiggy http://www.rawbrokerage.com/raw-brok...b20-rb25-rb26/

They will have issues. I mean really tho what do you expect from a 25yo car lol but yes I do agree RB's seem to have finnicky bs that happens a lot. It is easy to prevent though by upgrading key components of the ignition system and motor. Changing the ignitor to a z32, swapping coil packs to either new or proven aftermarket, and swapping and tuning your car for map from maf (MAF blows any which way you look at it). But you are correct sir the car will be an unruly bitch for a while till you give it some tlc. But you hit the nail on the head with the do your research part.

The final part about the previous owner(s) aint shit you can do there except pray that they weren't an idiot and took care of the car. My guess is given the few things this guy has done is that he was good to her. ARC intercoolers ain't cheap haha.
