Anything I should know I thought since it's already complied to Australia It should'nt have much drama getting into nz as I thought Aussie is stricter with imports

Do I have to pay G.S.T on top of what im already paying? Is it guna pass the emisions test having exhaust system It's got converter but hoping it's not to loud as well

Any help would be awesome

I've had a quick dig through the NZ import regulations and I think if you are planning to import the car as just a regular import into NZ it might not be possible. If there is a special provision for bringing your own personal car with you when immigrating permanently (which I didn't look into) then that might be a different story, and such a rule might exist.

It's a lot of legal and technical documents and not very clear so please research it yourself as I'm not 100% on this, but I think that a C34 Stagea can't come in for two reasons: First, it doesn't meet the necessary front impact standards for which it seems most cars need to be around 2000+ models (and 2000+ designed or earlier designed with that standard in mind, which for a car which first came out in 1996 is unlikely). Second, the emissions standard now needed for NZ since 2008 is Japan 00/02 or Euro 3 or ADR 79/01. Your car won't have been complied to 79/01 in Australia and Stageas having a GF emissions code (GF-WGNC34) which seems to corresespond to the Japan 98/xx standard is not good enough for Japan 00/02 which is what you need. Sorry.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
