Shipping from Brunei to Oz
Is there any workshop in Oz that can repair my 8? I got problem with "system lean" - https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tech-garage-22/p0171-system-too-lean-78270/. I just wondering how much it would cost me to ship my car to Oz.

What about Singapore or KL Malaysia? It'll probably be cheaper to take it to these countries. Take a flatbed truck through Sarawak and maybe there is a Mazda dealer in Kuching. If no one can help you in Kuching... take a ferry to Sg or KL.
Shipping to Aust I suggest taking it to Darwin. Closest to your area. I am sure there is a good Mazda dealership in Darwin.

I'll only do this when i couldn't confirm what parts are malfunction. Actually in Brunei that emission kind of things are not a big issue.

My guess is that it would be cheaper to fly out a Mazda tech and the diagnostic equipment than to ship the whole car the other way.. The Mazda tech would probably welcome the chance to travel overseas for free...

Don't you have a rotary mechanics in Brunei?
I think it is a long journey to get a shipment to Australia - it maybe cheaper to buy a wreck or even a new car
Sorry to hear about the problem BTW

I've never had anything bad to say about service centres in Oz. Actually, I highly recommend the service centres I take my car to. Prompt service and no hazzles. Being in a country that's not over-populated tends to generate more "customer care" factor... less customers = more time diagnosing faults or problems. Service centres here are also very courteous and will also keep you updated. What more could you want? NB: Just my personal experience with Subaru , Toyota, Mazda and Holden.

ooopppsss... never knew Brunei had JDM spec.
Misread... "I'll only do this when i couldn't confirm what parts are malfunction."
Thought "If you don mind lower performance then OZ is ok, I think its better to send it back to Jap." referred to Aust technicians unable to diagnose fault.
I am more enlightened!

Fab_8 is absolutely right by what I meant, I would never say things like OZ mechanics suck or anything simply because my 5 years in Western Australia has been a pleasant experience and motorsport there has never been better. However fuel is the only problem, its a bit pricey and lower octane. Higher octane simply means more agressive timing thus more power. Since he got it from Jap therefore it is better to get it back there.

Mark Skaife (If I remember correctly) is just way cool man!!! I love it when they do the partially track layout time attack thing before the race starts to determine position

Ok yiksing,
I gather the explanation but I have to tell you that the JDM renesis is the same as the OZ renesis but just the tune is different. I think the JDM car claims 7kw more power but there are so much variation in power between cars - It may not necessary true. Just see MissyK's car.

If you are interested, I can pass on a message to a Rotary mechanic I know who is in KL and would be happy to travel to Brunei. But if the problem requires sepcialist renesis equipment then you would (as people have mentioned) have to ship the car to KL.
