And who pray tell , is complying them after the 8th May ?

You still have to have the evidence package for emissions testing etc and afaik they will not accept old evidence.

Most boats leave around the 28th of the month and get here about 2 weeks later ( in WA at least ).

So as far as I see , you have missed the boat so to speak.

Geoff at Prestige is not buying any 32's atm cos there is no one to comply them and there are virtually no plates left.

I got one of prolly the last 5 in the country and I have to ship mine to Sydney.

Craig at J-Spec and Geoff at Prestige (link already posted)

There should be some good bargains coming up in regards to imports, just that the compliance is the problem.

Also nark swears by Mark, is it CentreLine?? anyway got to Nark's site, he has a link.

Locally... i've seen a silver R32 GTR at Daniel Prince Motors on Nepean Hwy, but i reckon pretty much all Import yards are dodge to the max...

um... oh yeah, Red Ace Motors in Carnegie i think, on Poath Road. Akeenan got his car from there, really recommended them to me, 1 was so close to putting a deposit on a R33 GTST compliance plate there around Oct 2002, but parents pulled the plug like the day i went to pay... but if u want, speak to Hannah, she was really helpful. And they have their own work shop, it had 3 car bays so it might be RAWS complianced, not sure.

also UPI www.upimports.com.au - they got their own workshop as well and are all RAWS ready.

So yeah, heard good things about all these guys - Obviously Geoff and Craig at THE most well known at i'm sure (with a few exceptions to prove the rule) are prob the best to go thru.

But yeah, compliance for a R32 GTR might be a bit of a problem now. Anyway here's an email i got form Geoff today, as i'm sure most of u also got. Looking good for my R34 GT-T purchase!

Old Import Scheme Finished

Sadly, it's now too late to import vehicles under the old import scheme, so we will be working hard under the new import scheme from now on.

New Import Scheme

We are now taking orders for vehicles to be imported under the new import scheme. Compliance availability will quickly improve over the next 2 to 3 months, however for those models for which compliance is still pending, we are able to store the vehicle in Japan for our customers for free. Depending on the model, this should not be necessary for more than 4 to 10 weeks. Vehicles must be very close to stock standard under the new import scheme, at least until we see how the scheme progresses over a period of 4 to 8 months and whether there is any relaxation on modifications. At this stage, aftermarket wheels and exhausts must be replaced during compliance, but it appears these can be refitted by the owner following compliance. We will make further updates on compliance availability and other issues as the scheme progresses.

Bargains

Over the next couple of months there should be great opportunities to pick up vehicles at auction for significant reductions over normal prices as demand from Australian buyers for popular imports drops to virtually nothing. Prices at auction have already fallen for some models, and the exchange rate is also excellent. If you are in a position to buy and wait for a number of weeks before importing then you may be well placed to take advantage of this unusual situation. However, cars will not suddenly be free, so please don't think that. (o: Australia is not the only country that recognises the value of Japanese cars.

15 Year Old Vehicles

We continue to take orders for 15 year old vehicles (1988 and older), which are not affected at all by the import scheme changes. There are some fantastic options available. 15 year old cars with modifications are also fine to import without restriction. If you are wondering what you can import and the likely cost, please go to the link below and select Past Vehicles for a range of examples, or send us an e-mail with your questions.

here's a q for meggala and troy, what do u reckon u guys could get a stock standard R34 GT-T 1998 for?

what's ur fee meggala if u don't mind me asking - and no INASNT and Nark this isn't a chance to come up with some witty sexual remark

[ylwgtr2]

1.1-1.5 million yen???depends on the car....i will check USS next week and post the results for you.......My commission for one car is 90,000 yen inclusive of everything...the more you buy the cheaper i do it......The so called "Import specialist's" in aust get charged a fee that could be anywhere from 60,000-100,000..this gets paid by you anyway....as well as what you have to pay them ......i charge the one fee
