Hi guys I have a 1990 R32 GTR gathering dust over in NZ it was pre modified in Japan and I have owned it for over 1 year there and have been in Au for over 2 years. When they say ownership overseas for more that a year for personal import does this car have to be registered in the country of origin during this ownership? As my car was non compliable in NZ and therefore not registered … but legitimately owned by myself, and dose GST still apply considering I’m not selling or buying the item?

I guess I could bring it in though sevs etc but due to the mods it would end up to much work to make standard and I may as well sell there and cut my losses and sell it there.

Because you didn't have it registered there, I think you're going to have a hard time bringing it in as a personal import. And yes you'd still pay GST on it if you did bring it over.

Actually, when was the purchase date in Japan? (Presuming you imported it to NZ yourself)

You need to be in NZ with the car. I have just got my car here and had to give complete scan of passport and account for all time out of NZ.

Lucky I have owned the car for 6 years and was in NZ for 14 months.

Also needs to be registered so not much chance of the personal import rule working for you.

Bugger I was hoping this would not be the case it too good to part out but I guess thats to only option bar a race car ....

Cheers Guys

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
