It sounds like people are leading you up the garden path or at least not making it easy for you to understand your options. You should be able to import this car under the 'personal import' laws which is totally different to the SEVS compliance scheme, so you will not need to meet the SEVS compliance requirements however the car will need to be legal in Brisbane.

Please feel free to call me directly on 0400 502 250 (+61400502250 from NZ) and I will be happy to go through things in more detail for you if necessary.

hey just had a good look through your web site,strict rules aye,dam i will be needing more new tyres again(just got some).mite be just easyer to buy a car from you,when you say car price around $12000 how much normally is it over by??what are the basic requirements for the personal import rules that the car has to pass??it will still need to be complianced though aye???and i guess as it hasnt got the orginal cc rating it,ll need a mod plate??cheers for the help mate...

We usually over allow a little on our estimated prices so there is a good chance that it will be slightly under budget unless there are any unforseen costs along the way, in any case it will usually be within a few hundred dollars either way.

Please call us regarding your specific car, the information noted on our website is mainly for 'SEVS compliance' laws which effect most people - you case would be different as you should be able to import under the 'personal import' laws which I would like to explain to you in more detail.

The personal import laws are a LOT more relaxed so you will not need to return the car to totally standard or replace tyres if they are in good condition already.

he jspec , why not reply to some of your emails for cars on your website rather than reply to posts on this site not even directed to you ?

not ragging on you are anything but I gave up using your company cause I couldnt even get a respone out of you

the funny thing is the cars i enquired in december and got no response about are still on your list now

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
