Woohoo! And another 260RS comes to Australia!! Congrats on your beast! 66,000 K's and 4B should = a damn nice example.

You have improved the imports:Australian cars ratio by... (something tiny) but every one helps!

Big congrats on the auction win!! I cant imagine the wait you have ahead of you, because I've been waiting nearly 3 weeks, and I'm about to start a candle light vigil outside the dealers when it finally gets complienced. The wait is the killer, screw the $$$$$'s pop those pics up ASAP

Cheers,

Jeff

Excellent! Another '26 powered Stagea in the neighbourhood! SEQLD FTW! We'll have to organise another meet once your car is here...

Like the rest of the said: congratulations!

What company is Hocking working for?

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!

Im hoping for a fairly smooth process as far as compliancing goes, the car is dead stock except for the aftermarket coilovers. Might need to borrow some aussie DOT approved tyres for compliancing - the tyres on the car ae new so i really dont want to fork out for tyres when i dont really need them.

Im bouncing off the walls hey, you shouldve seen me after the 5 or 6 phone calls from Japan throughout the process - was crazy.

So yes... now the wait...

AFAIK you will have to buy some new tyres for compliance. I just flogged my ones off to a local tyre yard and got em to swap my other rubber back on the rims. Suspension should't really be a problem...as long as it aint too low.

Where u going for compliance? PM me if u don't wanna broadcast it!!

Good luck :)

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
