Originally from the Yokohama area, it had two previous owners and was most recently registered in the Nagano area.
Underneath there was some light surface rust. Some of the engine parts made of aluminum and magnesium, i.e., power steering pump, fuel rail, throttle-body linkages, solenoids, intake manifold, hose inlets, and etc., had quite a bit of oxidization (also see pics), but fairly common for the age and mileage with these cars. Overall rust was not a problem, as there was nothing structurally corroded, just surface rust. All the rails and shock towers, seams etc. were OK.
Exterior there were really no scratches or noticeable dings / dents to speak of. There was one small rock chip on the left front fender, but small enough to just live with. There was however, signs of light paint wave on the hood (aftermarket fiberglass), and fenders, but there had been no major paint repairs or damage. The wheels were in pretty good condition with no major scratches, scuffs, or curb rash, but they were missing the centre caps. The Potenza tyres were nearly new.
Interior — quite nice. The steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake lever appeared to have been re-dyed / repainted. The seats had some minor wrinkles and scuffs on the side bolsters. The centre console had some scratches and scuffs around the A/C unit, and stereo area. It did not appear to our agent that the car had been smoked in. The roof lining was in good condition with only some light dirt. The carpets etc. were all in good condition as well with no visible damage or heavy wear. The centre TV / screen control unit was working well, and the screen was not damaged or cracked as can sometimes happen with this model if not well treated.
A good car overall but it had definitely been driven and was not a trailer-queen, show car. There had been a lot of money spent on modifications, with an extensive list of parts, together with the kms the owners would have used the car on a regular basis.
Could use a good clean underneath and a detailing under the hood, but other than normal maintenance items, it was basically ready to go.

We only source the best vehicles with clean and tidy interiors, and only vehicles we would be pleased to own ourselves. This is why we are constantly told by clients that the vehicles we source are well above the condition of most others on the local market.
The pictures are typical of the information we provide prior to auction for each vehicle of interest, with any faults shown so you can clearly see the condition before we discuss whether to bid, and your budget.
Whether you’d like to import an R34 GTR VSpec from Global Auto like this one, or another year, make or model, we can find it for you in nice condition.
It is vital when sourcing your vehicle to use an agent that takes the time to physically check each vehicle and looks beyond the auction pictures and report to confirm condition. Some vehicles may have an unpleasant smoke or other odour, rust underneath, or other faults which are impossible to know without inspection.

Hi Geoff,
Thank you so much for your guidance and advice throughout this whole process to import my 2003 Skyline V35 350GT Premium — it was an experience that I am thankful that I took the plunge into.
The car is going great and I really love driving it and getting the attention that goes with it, I ended up keeping the rims that came on the car as they do seem to suit it. I may still change these down the track and potentially put some 20″ on it but not a priority at this point, currently looking to upgrade the stereo unit though.
I have had a lot of interest in the car from friends and strangers so I have passed your details onto a few people so hopefully they get with the program and look at importing a car through you.
I would also be happy to talk to anyone about my experience so feel free to put anyone in contact with me that would like to talk to someone who has gone through the process. Thank you again for your patience and support and I look forward to the next time I am in need of a new car. Here is my review that I’ve posted for you on Facebook:
I recently imported my first V35 Skyline coupe through Prestige Motorsport, with the help and assistance of Geoff Risbey, who I cannot thank enough for his advice and support throughout this process. As this was my first time importing a car into Australia I was a little bit apprehensive on the idea, but I did some research on the net and came across Prestige Motorsport, after a bit more homework on the reviews and experiences of other people I felt confident that I had chosen the right broker to deal with.
Geoff was always ready and willing to give me as much or as little support as I wanted, he listened to what it was that I wanted and then with his guidance we worked out a rough budget and set about finding my dream car. The daily auction information that Geoff sent me was very helpful and if I found something that was of interest Geoff would discuss the car with me and provide his honest opinion on the car, if it was still a go he would then arrange an inspection of the car at the auction house through his connections in Japan. Geoff would then come back to me and discuss the findings and if he thought it was a prospective purchase, what impressed me was that Geoff was willing to wait until the right car came up and he never pressured me into buying a car he did in fact advise me not to purchase a couple of other cars.
Finally we found the one and commenced the auction process, it was a little nerve racking wondering if I was going to win the auction and then finally Geoff called me to give me the good news. From here Geoff then guided me through the process of exporting the car and then with the customs and compliance here in Adelaide.
Overall very impressed with the support throughout the process which made the whole thing quick an easy, and most importantly I felt confident in what was happening the whole time.
I am now the proud owner of a V35 and would highly recommend anyone considering importing a car to contact Geoff and draw on his years of experience, I know I will be doing so when I am next in the market for another car. Thank you again Geoff for your professionalism and support throughout this process it was a great experience and I am now loving my new car.
