if you take it to india, it will most likely be stolen man. Do you plan on living their forever?

Where abouts in India are you moving to? I have been working in Hyderabad for a little over a year and an R34 would be rather strange amongst all the Tatas tuk-tuks, goats and buffalo on the roads. But to export your car will be easy on the OZ end of things. Proof of ownership and de-registration is about all i think you would need

It would be out of the world to own a R34 in inidia.. As of now there are no R34's in inidia.. And yea i got a garage with a security.. will have to tighten security if i take the car there...

And im from Bangalore... Hyderabad is a nice place.. i like the roads there :)

The tough part is the customs in india.. it will cost me a bomb to import a skyline there.. its like 170% Duty charges :D

Hmmm.... 170%... Duty based on what?

Does this mean that if you have a bill of sale saying that you've bought your car for $20K, duty on top would be $34K?

Thus, if it's $10K, duty would be $17K?

Or if it were $5K, duty would be an extra $8.5K? Can you legally sell this car to your alter ego for say $3K?

In other words, what is market value of a grey import in India?

yeah, just pay someone off lol. Sounds like your family might be able to find the rigght person to pay off, or atleast have the money to do so lol.

lol terry, whats with the heat comment, r34's come with standard AC and Australia is pretty hot even on a world scale of things lol.

I'd only be worried about finding decent fuel to run the car lol.

seriously though, Zaver you have to do the research yourself, It doesnt look asif anyone has exported a car from Australia to India. On our side, it is easy to send the car over, basically ring rta (vic roads) and they will tell you what to do on our end. Then find a customs shipping broker that deals with india and ask them. They'll set you up with a 20 foot shipping container, insurance for shipping, they may even know the appropriate duty that needs to be paid.... once the car is in the country i'm sure it cant be that hard to get it registered there, ive never been to india but from my limmit4d knowledge about indian cars, i dont think their registration rules are very strict at all lol.

good luck

I knew some guys that used to bring superbikes into India for their own use. Bribing was the only way to go for them, their families were loaded, so a few grand here or there didn't matter.

India already has R35 GTRs.. 5 of the guys i know through a forum have them.. They drag their cars in Hyderabad.

Guy who lives in my area in India has Lamborghini Murciélago LP640//Bentley Flying Spur //BMW 750Li//RR Phantom//BMW M3//Audi R8 and he is only 20 years old..

here is his thread

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/super-cars-i...-my-garage.html

I did see R34GTR 2 years back so i'll find more information.. i am planning to buy R35 next year and take it with me to India when i move there.

+1 seen plenty of them over there.

Anyways would be keen to see how this plans out for you and if you get the car over there safely.

Good thing is that its so easy to bribe over there :P

But see if you can do all this properly without costing you an arm and leg.

Looking forward to the updates in the future.

My suggestion would be dnt bribe because they will confiscate it later.. lot of bollywood stars got their cars confiscated who didn't follow the correct procedure. They are getting smart.

Ask the guy below who drove this R34 in India

well im sure its gonna cost me a bomb, but the only thing thart worries me is that they have a rule of bringing in cars which are less than 10yrs old. And my skyline will be 11 yrs old... But im sure there is way to get around that...

And seeing the Team BHP thread i just came to know that there is a R34 GTR in India.. Not many people know that there... So when i go there for holidays this time i will find out all the possible info on importing it..

Will keep u guyz Updated!!

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
