Your dream car is in Japan! Bring it home.
We hunt the auctions in person, bid with a plan, and handle everything after the hammer drops: shipping, customs, compliance and rego. One point of contact from the auction house floor to your driveway.
All makes. All models.
If it rolled out of a Japanese factory, we can source it, win it and land it. Auction-grade minters, full street builds, kei trucks, VIP barges, forgotten classics rotting in a Gunma shed. There is no wrong answer here.
Grade 4.5+ auction cars, low kays, verified history. The collector-grade stuff.
Tuned, built, caged or bagged. We assess the work, not just the badge.
Hakosukas, Kenmeris, rotaries and one-year-only oddballs. We know where they hide.
Sambars, Delicas, Jimnys, 70 Series. Daily weapons and paddock heroes alike.
Recently hunted
Can't see yours? That's the point. The list never ends. Tell us the car and we'll tell you what it takes to bring it home.
You pick the car. We do the rest.
This is a genuine full service import. Not a broker who disappears after the auction, not a "we know a guy" arrangement. From the first conversation to the keys in your hand, every stage runs through us, and you can watch it all happen.
The Brief 相談
Tell us the car, the spec and the budget. We come back with real market data: what examples are actually selling for at auction right now, what a good one costs landed, and an honest call on whether the money makes sense. If it doesn't, we'll say so.
The Hunt 検査
Our people are on the ground in Japan every single day, walking the auction yards and physically inspecting candidates before we ever bid. Panels, rails, paint, underbody, interior, start-up. You get the photos, the video and the translated auction sheet, so you know exactly what you're buying before a single yen moves.
The Bid 入札
We agree on a hard ceiling together, then bid live at auction. Win it, and it's yours at the hammer price, no games, no hidden margin on the buy. Miss it, and we go straight back to hunting. We never chase a car past what it's worth.
The Crossing 船積
Export certificate, deregistration, marine insurance, shipping and customs clearance on both sides of the water. All paperwork handled in-house. You get tracking updates as your car moves from the yard to the port to the boat.
Compliance & Rego 適合
Quarantine, compliance through approved workshops, ADR requirements and registration prep. The part of importing that scares most people off is the part we've done hundreds of times.
The Handover 納車
Your car arrives complied, registered and ready, delivered to your driveway with a complete import file: auction sheet, inspection photos, export docs and service history. The whole story of the car, in your hands.
In Japan. Every day.
Most importers bid off a scanned auction sheet and hope. We don't buy cars we haven't stood next to. Our team is at the auction houses daily, putting eyes and hands on every candidate before it ever reaches your shortlist.
If we wouldn't put our own money on the car, we'll tell you to walk. That's the job.
- In-person inspection before every bid
- Detailed photo set of every candidate
- Walkaround and start-up video
- Auction sheet translated in full
- Accident history and grade verified
- Straight answer: bid or walk away
The entire import handled under one roof, and you're across every step of it.

Fill in what you know about the car. We'll come back with sourcing options, a capped quote and a realistic timeline. No payment, no obligation, just a straight answer on what it takes to land it.
Importing can provide access to a much wider range of vehicles: better condition, lower kilometre examples, higher specifications and models that were never sold in Australia.
Timeframes vary depending on the vehicle and its location, but most imports take between 4 and 12 weeks from purchase to delivery in Australia.
Absolutely. We’ll work with you to understand your budget, goals and preferences, then source suitable vehicles through our trusted Japanese dealer and auction network.
Every vehicle is thoroughly assessed before purchase. We have connections on the ground in Japan and review auction reports, condition grades, service history and available documentation to help you buy with confidence.
Importing typically includes the purchase price, auction or dealer fees, shipping, insurance, import approval, customs charges, compliance and registration. We’ll provide a clear breakdown before you commit.
Not every vehicle is eligible for import into Australia. We’ll confirm eligibility and guide you through the available pathways before you purchase.
Yes. From sourcing and purchasing your vehicle in Japan through to shipping, customs, compliance and delivery, we manage the process from start to finish, keeping you updated every step of the way.
