raws doesn't descriminate based on country of manufacture. so it's exactly the same rules as importing japanese cars. or russian cars. or mexican cars. :P

an import is an import. and there are places that bring in some euro cars but the typical euro car buyer doesn't want a second hand imported car with no known history.

LHD would be the most common problem with the coolest of euro cars also.

RHD examples of all modern euros except maybe for porsche are easily accessible here in japan..they are plentiful.

i get the sneaking suspicion only models made prior to 1989 are eligible for import approval..

Yeah right I didn't think Japan got much RHD euro stuff, I thought it was mainly LHD.

For things people would want to buy like BMW M or Benz AMG ect all come out in Australia new so would be excluded from SEVS.

whats the average price for a Ferrari 360 in RHD? i could only find LHD examples. from what i've found the LHD stuff goes for around $150k-$250k still cheap for a 360

you're thinking about this all wrong. again, DOTARS doesn't care whether a care is euro, jap-o, hindi, pakistani whatever. the rules apply the same to any manufacturer.

they are all listed somewhere here but basically you cannot import a vehicle if the same or very similar model was sold here in full volume. if the model you want to import was not sold in full volume then sure you can import it providing you can have it added to the SEVS register. To be added to the SEVS register there are certain requirements it must meet (be unique, performance level, equipment level, magazine featured etc). Then to comply it you must be a RAW or get a RAW to do it for you.

again, it's nothing to do with 1989 etc. There are 3 main ways to import any car into australia (again doesn't matter where from). Personal import. 1988 and earlier model cars and lastly SEVS.

i understood the 3 methods. obviously one of the ways im going to do it is to have a private import but starting a business is also on the list of things to do.

Having a car added to the sevs register doesnt involve anything like smashing the car to prove its safety, does it?

I think you need some reading time on DOTARS website. it will guide you through the process. :action-smiley-069:http://www.dotars.gov.au/

just remember any model of car that was sold here in full volume cannot be added to the SEVS low volume register. so forget 3 series BMW, 5 series BMW, CLK mercs, SLK mercs, etc etc.

ferrari's and lamborghinis are already on the SEVS register as this is how the manufacturers chose to import them into AUS.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
