how much would it cost for the car to get shipped to me in syd and get it complianced with all that necessary things done? who would be able to do it for me (cheapest person possible).

what needs to be changed once the car gets here? seat belts? parts? tyres? etc etc etc.. is the car allowed to have any mods? bigger turbos, coolers, exhaust, kit, bigger wheels etc???

one more question - what if the r32 i import over has a rb25det in it? would it be eligible for importation?

Thanks.

There are a number of compliance workshops in Sydney, I suggest ringing around.

Coming in under SEVS, the car will require the usual work including new tyres, seat belts, side intrusion bars etc etc.

what if the r32 i import over has a rb25det in it? would it be eligible for importation?

Under the old 15 year rule this would have been possible, but not under SEVS.

damn..

what about mods done to the rb20 such as exhaust, filter bov, the usual bolt on stuff ?

would internals matter such as cams, injectors and pump?

or does it have to be completely bone stock?

Technically, the car has to be completely stock during compliance.

whyte, there is an importing FAQ stickied at the top of this section, give it a read as it has links to the relevant pages at DOTARS, that way you can get the info from the horses mouth, if you still have more questions by all means post them up, but a quick search through this subforum will give you all you need to know.

Why you would import an R32 you cant see is beyond me. For the same price or less you can have a car already here that you can inspect and test drive and that you dont have to pull everything off of to get complied.

thats the reason why i was asking. to see if it was cheaper to buy here or import one from jap. if i was to import one, i wanted to know if i will be allowed to keep the mods on or not.

sorry mate, not everyone can afford a R34 GTR like you *bows*

I think you may have misunderstood me. I wasn't saying YOU specifically are dumb for importing one. I'm saying that in general the market for R32's is pretty good over here with plenty of local cars to choose from in a wide variety with regards to 2 door, 4 door, 4wd, turbo, etc etc.

Importing one you will have a hard time finding a good one under 10-12 grand all said and on the road. You would easily find a registered one going over here under that.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
