Let me just start by saying this guy went through Vcat with a bogus story and had to withdraw How about the fact the Thats exactly right simply trying to bad mouth us when Visa card, Consumer Affairs and Vcat all found in our favour, its sour grapes. Not going to go into it here but please remove this thread

As a dealer who also does compliance on Elgrand's and Estima's, I think there might be a bit of mis-understanding here. Firstly the term "campervan" only means it requires a small box containing a $10 Bunnings stove and small fire extinguisher and for 4 of the 8 seatbelts to be removed. Secondly most dealers will register a car when its sold so hence the seating capacity can only be changed after registration so they would be 4 seaters on their yard. This is not illegal at all, in fact after registration according to the Vic Road's guide lines the extra 4 seat belts can be re-installed without an engineers certificate as long as its noted that passengers of under 38kgs use those seats ie they become childrens seats. Anyway as with anything, do your homework before you buy, in Victoria if you buy an Elgrand or Estima and it was promised that it would be registered as an 8 seater just make sure that the blue modification plate has been fitted to the vehicle showing the seating numbers, this also the case in Queensland and I believe NSW will soon introduce a similar system.

Thanks for this I was racking my brain trying to clear the same problem.

Hey there mate, Yes there is no problem bringing in a GTR Skyline, but what i can recommend is that you use our online quote system to get an idea on costing from Japan. You will still need to add your states rego and stamp duty fee and a RWC, but it should give you a good ballpark figure to work with. Our fee for SAU people is only $550 also Hope this helps http://carizma.com.au/Pages/online_quote.php Paul @ Carizma

Hey Zennaro, Nobody has come to your rescue however if your interested drop us a line at Carizma, we have been around 12 years and have a good name on here and would be happy to help. We take particular care to get you the right one especially when it comes to with the GTRs and Rx7s. Regards Paul @ Carizma

Hey Omega, Just for your info, when we are importing cars there are 2 models we pay particularily close attention too, RX7's and R32Gtrs, because condition is very very important. For a R32 Gtr you could get one in as low as $13K but they will be in bad shape, but for $20 you can get one in Top condition exactly the way you want it. We also recomend you stick to late 92 - 94 models because of the intrusion bars and also cause they will be better condition but it is easy enough to get one in. Our benefit is we do both the import and the compliance if that helps. Drop me a line if you have anymore questions, Regards Paul @ Carizma

Hi mate, yes you can bring it back as a personal import, which is easy enough. Obviously the tanks gonna have to be empty. Regards Paul @ Carizma

Hey mate, Just to help you out a little. Firstly what year is the car.? If its an 89 or 90 its probably come in under the 15 year rule so there is no compliance plate anyway.. Its also possible the compliance plate could have fallen off as its an older car but that doesnt matter cause its on the NEVDIS system, which is Australia wide so it cant have been registered without a compliance plate anyway if it needed one. So the guy you were speaking too has no idea what he is talking about, you dont even need to worry about another compliance plate. I suggest you give em a call. Let me know if you have any trouble. Paul @ Carizma

Hey JetBlack, for what its worth we at Carizma are a LMCT who have been in business 12 years, but we believe our biggest advantage is we have our on Compliance workshop and have a stock of standard parts if you do buy a modified car, Regards Paul @ Carizma

Hey there, hope this helps... 15 - Rear Wiper 16 - Rear Strut Tower Bar + Trunk Lift Trim + GTS25T Type 17 - Skyline Sound System 18 - Drivers Airbag Paul @ Carizma

There is 5 workshops in Australia that can do them, but still think its only Coupe/Auto unless something changed.

Just to help, you can only get Coupe Automatics complied at this moment.

The 15 year rule ended in 2005 and was replaced by the pre 89 rule. Note thats not cars from 1989. As for the compliance, it must be complied under RAWS. Just as a word of advice, you would be better going for a 92 - 94 as it has factory side intrusion bars and the condition will be better and there will be little difference in the overall price. Paul @ Carizma

Not sure about the face lift, will find out but the reason were not doing 04 on wards atm is emission testing requirements changed and it got more expensive to test. Paul @ Carizma

Hey Baron, We will eventually, it would require a new emissions test, so down the track yes but in the short term we are gonna start with up to 12/2003 Paul @ Carizma
