certainly does!

Technically you are not aloud to drive the car once it hits WA Soil without a permit, Its a load of bollocks imo.. I have always just driven the car.. i mean ffs its got plates on it!

you will be required to take it over the pits. Unless its mickey mouse they will most defiantly find something that needs doing on it before it can be licenced, you will also need to pay the vehicle transfer stamp duty, 6 months rego and the pit inspection at the same time if you get it over in one shot.

what are you buying?

but i mean cutting to the chase, yah bring it all over in one shot, put it over the pits pay yah rego stamp duty an get fixed whatever they say to get fixed, other then that you dont have to pay for any importing fee's or anything silly like that do you?

and as for what im buying well, its a toss up between a soarer or s15 and having a look at em they are deff cheaper from over east, at the moment i got a 33 but mmmm yea looking for somethin different but yea just needing to know the process before i have my mind set in stone about a particular car an then finding out its gonna be impossible to get it over here, i mean pits is fine they tell yah u what u need 2 get fixed, u fix it an take it over but umm yea.

Its definitely cheaper from eastern states.

BUT if the car is modded, you still have to get it back to stock before you can get it thru the pits.

If you calculate the labour to take the aftermarket part out then put in stock parts(purchasing stock parts?) and fit it back aftermarket parts in, you still come back to the same lump sum as getting a car locally.

One of my mate decided to do this, huge problem was getting the parts out. Did all the right way (He did himself to save money). When taking out parts, he broke the nuts. Then he couldnt drive the car. Got it towed to a workshop and pay alot more to get it done.

End of the day, its still up to you, if you got the time and patience go ahead! :cool:

Good luck.

I picked up my 32 from the eastern states at the start of the year. Didnt have to many problems with pit or anything... Drove it around for months on vic plates even got pulled over and cops didnt think twice. There were no extra fees or anything just look at the car as it has to go over the pits.

As said above,

This has been covered many times before.

Vehicle with other states plates on it can IIRC be driven for 3 months legally prior to having its plates switched over to WA.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
