you cannot bring in a race car with an L2S. you need a minimum C3 (now called NC) - national circuit licence. to get an NC licence you must first hold a PC licence and compete in a certain number of events in 1 calendar year. check the cams site for the current requirements.

crikey.. well there u go eh.. i always thouht it was l2s.

i always thought it was l2s.

what is actually required for your car to enter these events tho? most dont need current rego.

just to pass the scruitneering (sp) ?

to bringing race/rally car etc u need level 3 which is the national cams license..

the guy at dotars told me that if its specified as a drag car, there are no restriction to wht the car can have, and all u need is history that u race and provide the right license, in which case is ANDRA.. this way is heaps more simple... say its a drag car n my brother can show his history and license and then it gets approved and comes here!

im pretty sure he said u jus provide license type and history of motorsport, in this case which drifting is a L2NS... show ur histry etc, and u should be able to bring it in...

didnt go into too much detail... i jus gonna do the drag car way, lot simpler, and my brother n his mate have done that b4 so we kno what to do. he jus bought in a drag corvette 3500HP without a problem... so i think bringing in a 500hp whatever car for drift should be pretty simple.

thanks

Even for drift you need a NC (C3) or higher to get an import approval. Once it is here if you do not need rego anyone can buy it from the importer but CAMS expect the importer to be the driver....ie I personally would not be bringing in cars for other people to use in case I was refused when I wanted one next lol.

If you need rego, rally rego in NSW requires an L2S or higher.

Steve, my 91 GTR was $9,400 landed.

muahahah its a vspec now!

no just a stocker non vspec, about 120,000klm, was 450,000yen at auction. it was tired but that wasn't an issue since i had to redo everythign anyway

I haven't looked for a while at gtr auction prices but I assume they have gone back down from the insane prices when the 15 year old rule was in.

FOB price plus say 2k for shipping and 1k for brokers fee....its pretty cheap.

Now it just comes down to the paperwork and finding someone with the right cams licence, i only have L2S

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
