Im looking to buy a S2 33 in about 3 weeks and there are not many around in SA but quite a few in Sydney etc. I was just wondering whether someone can tell me whats involved in bringing one over in regards to taking it through Regency and what they look for and whether its worth the hassle. Also any help on some good places to get one locally would be appreciated there are not many in the trader or carslaes. thanks.

Its not hard to bring a stock example over, just a bit of cash, transfer or regos yada yada yada....

Modified, well some people have had good and bad results.... i got my 34 from Melbourne, didnt go through Regency, just the local cop shop for an engine check and bobs your uncle.....

As for local.... how much do you want to spend on one? do you want stock or basic mods (exhaust FMIC etc)

Good luck!

which cop shop did you goto?

does it need to be a specific one?

might go ask some questions cos im looking at buying from interstate if i cant find what i want here, and that would make it a whole lot easier.

I just called the Dept of Rego, told em i purchased a car from interstate, they directed me to download a form, go to the cop shop.... Elizabeth in this case, and get em to stamp the form after they have sighted and written the engine and vin number and take the form and your details and for me $1500 in cash to the rego office and BAM rego transferred to SA!

This was about 2 yrs ago tho!

That was for my R34, It was regoed in Vic... so $1500 got me transfer fees, stamp duty, 12 months rego in SA

Dont think it would have gone up that much, it all depends how much the car costs?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
