    Default Who's imported an eight six recently?

    Hi all,
    entertaining the idea of bringing in a sprinter of some description instead of playing the waiting game for one to pop up in SA.
    Assuming that these can be bought in as a pre-1988 import, and complied somewhere in Aus yes?

    Just wondering has anyone bought one in recently?
    Who did you use? Would you use them again?
    Who did you use for compliance?

    I know that you have Iron Chef and J-spec, but just seeing if there is someone who specialises in sprinters or is more recommended than Iron Chef.


    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Complience is relatively simple too. Just rear seat belts, adm doors or side intrusion bars and tires i think which iron chef can sort out for you.

    Just install some child seat restraint points. There are holes already drilled in the boot, drop the tank, spot weld in nuts, bolt in brackets.
    Then just the usual roadworthy requirements

    Brought mine in with Iron Chef and yeah as you say, they are the goods.
    Troy over in Japan does good work and with the additional room and workshop abilities now to mod over there before it comes are better again.

    Apart from that it is scanning the normal lines like Goo Network etc.

    haha Edward Lee's can hook you up! jokes.
