just because its listed doesnt mean it's coming to australia.

imports101 put up cars like that to give an idea of what they have access to in japan, if buy chance someone purchases it then yeah it will probably make its way in either as race/rally import or to be complied and licenced (imagine the cost involved in returning it back to stock, labour and parts)

that car would have been listed as imports101 are now teamed together with draganddrift.com to give an idea of what they are sourcing

its most likely one of the most hardcore cars i have seen listed on any importer's site, im in love haha

As if a RAW would give a quote or get an import approval to comply that type of car, who wants to be the person to give the bill for returning to stock (after finding all the parts as well) plus if a car that is a "race car" in a true sense who wants to be the person to tell the owner "export or destroy".

Any one can get cars like that and yes I have been involved in sourcing a couple of 10 second cars (mate in Japan sourced the current EURO record holder for 4WD) but no way in hell would I import it under RAWS.

AFAIK import101 comply their own cars (under Global Motorworks) so I'm guessing at the end of the day its their call on what they can comply, what they can't and what liberties they can take during the compliance process. Dunno if its worth all the hassle of returning it to stock to bring it under SEVS... with a car like that, it'd be better off as a race import... but... kudos to them if they wanna put the hard yards (and time/labour) in to put it on the road.

if you import a car for race/rally amd put the parts out of it in your car you already have can you get in trouble

nope you can even just import it as a wreck that saves the hassle of needing a cams licence to bring it in

i was under the impression the only way to do so as a wreck was to cut it in half.

Hello,

They will have the bucket of parts to convert it back to stock already.

They bring them in..change the parts for the compliance agent.

Then after the certificate..they put back the parts..if they are ever asked the question..how did it get

all mod up..they say..that the client wanted some after market bits put on.(Their safe)

Easy..this is how it is done..if you don't know already.

On the way they take out the valuable parts and sell them..and replace with others that are less expensive.

My computer,cams,boost controller,front eye lids(C/F) were taken this way.

This can cause lots of problems in the future..some leave HKS cams in and leave the standard computer on,

selling the after market computer for 500+ dollars or more.

Or in my case.....put back standard cams without measuring shims up....luckily I am not a lead foot.

When I had Poncams installed...they said..some ones been around in here.

24 shims needed replacing...

Anyway..my 2c 's worth.
