Which ,odrl of Stagea you have? Is it the turbo model? You indurance looks cheap Which city are you in?

RS4 Turbo. Insurance postcode 4272. 40% discount. Maybe its because i really am a 66yo. Havnt had a prang cince i hit a bus the wrong way in a one way st in 1965. Nissans are TOUGH!

I bought my s1 from prestige

all up it cost me 16,000 on the road with insurance

but with all the other bits and pieces added to the car now as it sits it owes me at least 20,000

all i can say is you can't put a price on quality.......

lucky you. cveap insurance costs. Just wondering does anybody knows how they calculate for rego in victoria? Cos im thinking of getting An autech for abt $50k (excld insurance and rego). Thas why i have to find out how much it will costs me. thanks

stamp duty is 4% of the buy price. Give them the FOB car price that will be cheaper stamp duty

1 year rego is $520

RWC will cost you about $500-$1000 i reckon for a fresh import, unless its immaculate (little shit will be broken, like, washers, a bulb here a bulb there.... but it all adds time in labour etc

yes, but the FOB price is what you paid for the car, its unfair for them to include transport costs as "car cost"

What if i had a private ship and i was in japan for a holiday and i brought a car with me, then the shipping "was free" rah rah rah :)

I would argue with me for 1 hour to save $500+, rather then just pay the full ammount from the start.

Will i have to pa the stamp duty if i bought the car already in oz? If i have to its 4% isnt it then how is the rego calculated? how many %? Thanks

Stamp duty has to be paid if bought overseas or locally.

Rego is a fixed annual fee here in Vic, stampy duty is a once off payment for the car when rego is transfered or first taken out by a person on a particaluar car.

Not sure how it is in other states.

yea as alexcim said you quote the price you actually paid for the car

don't include shipping costs your only rippin yourself off there

NSW rta asks for a receipt as proof of purchase price

so I'm guessing it would be the same for other states

ok but if i bought the car thats alreay in oz shipped from japan and complied? That would include the shipping costs, dealers margin ETC.

Should i ask the dealer the price he paid for it (FOB) price? I doubt they are goona to tell me that.

I would guestimate that the car FOB price would be around 35k at max. How do i get around it or im stuffed?

ok so if your buying the car already in oz and complied the whole deal

then it simply goes by what you pay the dealer for the car.

if you were importing the car yourself you would have saved a packet

but because its obviously already here i don't see anyway around that.

obviously what you pay the dealer is it. please someone correct me if i'm wrong, but that is my understanding of it.

its the same deal as if you bought an aussie car already owned by 30 odd people it goes by the actual purchase price of the car. wether it be from a car yard or private sale it goes by actual purchase price...

but please if i'm wrong correct me..

Look up the Prestige Motorsport site and click on "cost calculator"

The $616 I paid was for 6 months rego plus stamp duty but i dont have a breakdown of costs.

We're a bit luckier for Stagea prices in NZ, mine was $8000 which included $500 to ship across the country to me, it came with 6months wof and reg. Insurance $600 for full, I'm over 25, but only about 35% no claims bonus. Car is in good condition, 121kms, which you guys might consider to be on the higher side. RS4 obviously! Loving the leather interior, and I specifically hunted one out with it, hence having to ship it, but well worth it to me. I'll have to take a pic of interior, have many others got leather interior??

Pic of car with EVO7 wheel on front I was considering purchasing, and nasty 15' it came with on back.

Fuel economy a bit painful, 15.5L/100kms towing a boat with 3 in car averaged over 300kms, expected naturally, but not cheap.

thats cheap.

I started this because im thinking about a nice S2, Neo ,Tiptronic

All up with a few extras it will cost 20 grand!

Would like to hear from other nz owners re costs when importing.

NZ has no domestic car production hence the NZ government does not rip everyone off for importing a car, as all cars are imports.

That's is where you will find the savings I think, pay the FOB and the shipping, stick it on the road (maybe not that simple) but pretty close I am guessing... The savings are then passed on during domestic resale as mentioned above.

Want cheap imports, move to NZ!

I am sure some of the NZ guys can come up with the real details and we will all be very sorry we live in the land of a Tax on Tax on a duty + GST!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
