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.

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
