Im just going to throw this one out there and see what those in the know think of it...

A mate of mine and I were talking about the possibilities of importing the lowrider pimp scooters that may or may not be floating about in Oz at the moment.

There are an absolute plethora of them in and around Tokyo and im looking into buying one for my own use.

I know Australia has the Berghman and the Forza but im not sure about the other brands.

If importing the bikes isnt possible we are thinking of customized parts importing.

Anyone feel kind enough to lend some words of advice?

Cheers.

Guys, i have some homework and i have questions here.

I understand a vehicle will need to be supplied as a sample and then applied for importation approval through a RAW for the SEVS register but can any RAW complete this procedure?

The goal of this is being the addition of the particular model on the SEVS register.

Im showing my greenness here but is it correct for me to say the vehicle needs to pass 2 out of 4 of the initial design requirements? Something along the lines of appearance and publications? If i can manage to get the thing published and prove its design uniqueness, this goes toward SEVS registration?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
