hi at the moment im just enquiring but may decide to import a skyline r33 GTS (soon to be on new p laws). Anyway I would be looking for a very good condition nissan skyline r33 GTS with around 100,000's on it to import. I will be going through an importer to save me all the headaces. Now how much do would you estimate it will cost me landed, complied ready to register? I'm abit weary though would the imports check over the car properly? engine ext last thing I want is to have imported a skyline with major problems.

Im in Melbounre so who would be the best importer to go through?

thanks, Simon

mate they are far cheaper to purchase in aus, considering they start from 7k, im sure brokerage(1k) compliance(500-2k??) duties?? shipping (500 plus) taxes plus the car purchase would easily exceed 5k

Im sure you couldnt save more than 2k... and is it really worth 2k all the chance sometehing could get damaged on the boat?? the car could be a lemon?? something can go wrong.. you cant see the car physically etc

just my 2 cents mate as i recently buoght a r33 N/a after realising what good for value they are atm

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
