EOI- [QLD] Importing Used Engines

phildough · 22-12-2011, 10:06 PM

A few QLD members have recently expressed interest to me in going through what I went though earlier this year and importing a used JDM engine, but I suggested this time doing it en masse to lower the shipping costs per unit.
At the moment we are looking at bringing in some used low km (30,000-80,000km FS-ZE engines from Japan via NZ as I know people who can locate good engines in Japan and for some crazy reason purchasing used engines via NZ is surprisingly cheap and no QLD engine importers I have spoken to interested were interested in helping as it wasn't a Nissan or wanted to charge $2500-$3000 to do so.
We will also be bringing in a Toyota MR-S engine and a Silvia engine and gearbox as well so other engines are possible but will require a bit of extra work to locate them.

We are looking at placing the orders around Feb with about a 6 week delivery time.
So if anyone wants to replace or upgrade their engine now is the time.

If people from interstate want in they are more than welcome. Shipping it from here on may ruin the cost saving however.

Any questions please ask.
