Everyone- I know currently that the series 6 RX-7 is not elegible for import but do you think it may be granted in the new scheme? I have checked the list of NOT elegible imports and it is not in there.

The series 6 will not be approved for import because it was sold locally by Mazda in Australia, although the series 8 built from late 1999 onwards has been approved .. the current price range for a good 2000-01 model is around $38,000 to $50,000 landed and complied.

Daz - Yeah went and saw MSA on Sat. They said they would take it as thier test car but the aint even a reg workshop yet! They just had it installed so it'll be at least 2 months through them, may as well wait in that case! Still gotta call the other two. I NEED COMPLIANCE GOD DAMN IT! lol. good luck with the approval!

hey jspec imports,

then how come there are a few JDM S15 around ? :uh-huh:

if you own the car in japan.. for a certain amount of time you can bring it in. if a japanese person owns an s15 in japan and moves over here he can bring the car with him...or she for that fact...

correct me if im wrong

The S15 was not sold here in Australia until late 2000 so we are allowed to import any that were built before then .. it is the same story with the Skyline R32, 2+2 seat 300ZX, Lancer EVO, etc...

There are a lot of dodgy cars that got through via firewall swaps and all sorts of "methods" to get through compliance here. They were never officially allowed, but they got through. I think under the new scheme it will be pretty hard, if not impossible for that sort of thing to happen.

check the website, u can bring in s15's manufactured from 99 to 2000 or there abouts
